III. Dialogue Between Franklin and the Gout

Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)


Midnight, 22 October, 1780.


FRANKLIN. Eh! Oh! eh! What have I done to merit these cruel sufferings? 1

GOUT. Many things; you have ate and drank too freely, and too much indulged those legs of yours in their indolence. 2

FRANKLIN. Who is it that accuses me? 3

GOUT. It is I, even I, the Gout. 4

FRANKLIN. What! my enemy in person? 5

GOUT. No, not your enemy. 6

FRANKLIN. I repeat it, my enemy; for you would not only torment my body to death, but ruin my good name; you reproach me as a glutton and a tippler; now all the world, that knows me, will allow that I am neither the one nor the other. 7

GOUT. The world may think as it pleases; it is always very complaisant to itself, and sometimes to its friends; but I very well know that the quantity of meat and drink proper for a man, who takes a reasonable degree of exercise, would be too much for another, who never takes any. 8

FRANKLIN. I take—eh! oh!—as much exercise—eh!—as I can, Madam Gout. You know my sedentary state, and on that account, it would seem, Madam Gout, as if you might spare me a little, seeing it is not altogether my own fault.
