Then, after all this, suppose the day and hour for taking his degree in his calling to have come; suppose the day of battle to have arrived, when they invest him with the doctor's cap made of lint, to mend some bullet-hole, perhaps, that has gone through his temples, or left him with a crippled arm or leg.
Lléguese, pues, a todo esto, el día y la hora de recebir el grado de su ejercicio; lléguese un día de batalla, que allí le pondrán la borla en la cabeza, hecha de hilas, para curarle algún balazo, que quizá le habrá pasado las sienes, o le dejará estropeado de brazo o pierna.
