Explanation:

this is the part that describes the doctor.

413 With us there was a doctor of physic;

414 In all this world was none like him to pick

415 For talk of medicine and surgery;

416 For he was grounded in astronomy.  

417 He often kept a patient from the pall

418 By horoscopes and magic natural.

419 Well could he tell the fortune ascendent

420 Within the houses for his sick patient.

421 He knew the cause of every malady,

422 Were it of hot or cold, of moist or dry,

423 And where engendered, and of what humour;

424 He was a very good practitioner.

425 The cause being known, down to the deepest root,

426 Anon he gave to the sick man his boot.

427 Ready he was, with his apothecaries,

428 To send him drugs and all electuaries;

429 By mutual aid much gold they'd always won430 Their friendship was a thing not new begun.

431 Well read was he in Esculapius,

432 And Deiscorides, and in Rufus,

433 Hippocrates, and Hali, and Galen,

434 Serapion, Rhazes, and Avicen,

435 Averrhoes, Gilbert, and Constantine,

436 Bernard and Gatisden, and John Damascene.

437 In diet he was measured as could be,

438 Including naught of superfluity,

439 But nourishing and easy. It's no libel

440 To say he read but little in the Bible.

441 In blue and scarlet he went clad, withal,

442 Lined with a taffeta and with sendal;

443 And yet he was right chary of expense;

444 He kept the gold he gained from pestilence.

445 For gold in physic is a fine cordial,

446 And therefore loved he gold exceeding all.
