Comedy Of Errors

OF SYRACUSE


I think it be, sir; I deny it not.
ANTIPHOLUS
 
ADRIANA


I sent you money, sir, to be your bail,
By Dromio; but I think he brought it not.
 
OF SYRACUSE


This purse of ducats I received from you,
And Dromio, my man, did bring them me.
I see we still did meet each other's man,
And I was ta'en for him, and he for me,
And thereupon these errors are arose.
ANTIPHOLUS
 
DUKE SOLINUS


It shall not need; thy father hath his life.
 
Courtezan


Sir, I must have that diamond from you.
ANTIPHOLUS
 
OF EPHESUS


There, take it; and much thanks for my good cheer.
 
AEMELIA


Renowned duke, vouchsafe to take the pains
To go with us into the abbey here
And hear at large discoursed all our fortunes:
And all that are assembled in this place,
That by this sympathized one day's error
Have suffer'd wrong, go keep us company,
And we shall make full satisfaction.
Thirty-three years have I but gone in travail
Of you, my sons; and till this present hour
My heavy burden ne'er delivered.
The duke, my husband and my children both,
And you the calendars of their nativity,
Go to a gossips' feast and go with me;
After so long grief, such festivity!
 
DUKE SOLINUS


With all my heart, I'll gossip at this feast.

Exeunt all but Antipholus of Syracuse, Antipholus of Ephesus, Dromio of Syracuse and Dromio of Ephesus
 
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE


Master, shall I fetch your stuff from shipboard?
ANTIPHOLUS
 
OF EPHESUS


Dromio, what stuff of mine hast thou embark'd?
 
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE


Your goods that lay at host, sir, in the Centaur.
ANTIPHOLUS
 
OF SYRACUSE


He speaks to me. I am your master, Dromio:
Come, go with us; we'll look to that anon:
Embrace thy brother there; rejoice with him.

Exeunt Antipholus of Syracuse and Antipholus of Ephesus
 
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE


There is a fat friend at your master's house,
That kitchen'd me for you to-day at dinner:
She now shall be my sister, not my wife.
 
DROMIO OF EPHESUS


Methinks you are my glass, and not my brother:
I see by you I am a sweet-faced youth.
Will you walk in to see their gossiping?
 
DROMIO OF EPHESUS


That's a question: how shall we try it?
 
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE


We'll draw cuts for the senior: till then lead thou first.
 
DROMIO OF EPHESUS


Nay, then, thus:
We came into the world like brother and brother;
And now let's go hand in hand, not one before another.

Exeunt

Apparel vice like virtue's harbinger;


Yeah, that's me. The bard and I were always tight. He gave me a nod in Midsummer Night's Dream, too. He was a good dude.
