ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS I think thou art an ass.
DROMIO OF EPHESUS Marry, so it doth appear
By the wrongs I suffer and the blows I bear.
I should kick, being kick'd; and, being at that pass,
You would keep from my heels and beware of an ass.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS You're sad, Signior Balthazar: pray God our cheer
May answer my good will and your good welcome here.
BALTHAZAR I hold your dainties cheap, sir, and your
welcome dear.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS O, Signior Balthazar, either at flesh or fish,
A table full of welcome make scarce one dainty dish.
BALTHAZAR Good meat, sir, is common; that every churl affords.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS And welcome more common; for that's nothing but words.
BALTHAZAR Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS Ay, to a niggardly host, and more sparing guest:
But though my cates be mean, take them in good part;
Better cheer may you have, but not with better heart.
But, soft! my door is lock'd. Go bid them let us in.
DROMIO OF EPHESUS Maud, Bridget, Marian, Cicel, Gillian, Ginn!
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE [Within] Mome, malt-horse, capon, coxcomb,
idiot, patch!
Either get thee from the door, or sit down at the hatch.
Dost thou conjure for wenches, that thou call'st
for such store,
When one is one too many? Go, get thee from the door.
