DROMIO OF SYRACUSE


If it be, sir, I pray you, eat none of it.

DROMIO OF SYRACUSE


Lest it make you choleric and purchase me another
dry basting.
ANTIPHOLUS
 
OF SYRACUSE


Well, sir, learn to jest in good time: there's a
time for all things.
 
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE


I durst have denied that, before you were so choleric.
ANTIPHOLUS
 
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE


Marry, sir, by a rule as plain as the plain bald
pate of father Time himself.
ANTIPHOLUS
 
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE


There's no time for a man to recover his hair that
grows bald by nature.
ANTIPHOLUS
 
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE


Yes, to pay a fine for a periwig and recover the
lost hair of another man.
ANTIPHOLUS
 
OF SYRACUSE


Why is Time such a niggard of hair, being, as it is,
so plentiful an excrement?
 
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE


Because it is a blessing that he bestows on beasts;
and what he hath scanted men in hair he hath given them in wit.
ANTIPHOLUS
 
OF SYRACUSE


Why, but there's many a man hath more hair than wit.
 
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE


Not a man of those but he hath the wit to lose his hair.
ANTIPHOLUS
 
OF SYRACUSE


Why, thou didst conclude hairy men plain dealers without wit.
 
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE


The plainer dealer, the sooner lost: yet he loseth
it in a kind of jollity.
ANTIPHOLUS
 
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE


For two; and sound ones too.
