CH. xi] LIFE OF BENVENUTO CELLINI 225
I felt a very vast improvement; to such an extent that at
the end of fifty days I was cured and healthy as a fish.
Then, in order to give myself some recreation for that
great strain that I had endured, as winter came on for
my amusement I took to shooting (Z%
<?^), which entailed my going through water and wind, and
standing in bogs; to such an extent that in a few days my
illness returned one hundred times worse than I had it at
first. Submitting myself again into the hands of the
doctors, and though continually treated, I grew always
worse. Fever coming upon me, I was disposed to take
/3^*72?^77% again: the doctors did not wish it, saying that if
I began it with the fever upon me, in eight days I should
die. I determined to do so against their wishes; and
keeping to the same regulations that I had observed on
the previous occasion, when I had drunk for four days
of this blessed water of the fever went away
entirely. I began to experience a very great improve-
ment (in health), and during this time that I was taking
the said /?)?*72M7731 was always progressing with the models
for that piece of work: and during that period of abstin-
ence I made the most beautiful articles, and those of the
rarest invention that I ever made in my life. At the end of
fifty days I was thoroughly cured, and thenceforward
with the greatest diligence I gave my attention to secur-
ing my health for the future.
Then when I had come out from that long fast I found
myself as free from my ailments as if I had been reborn.
Although I took pleasure in securing that desired health
of mine, I did not also cease from working; in so much
that to that said work and to the Mint, to each of them I
most certainly gave that share of (my attention) which
was due to them.
