DROMIO OF EPHESUS What patch is made our porter? My master stays in
the street.
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE [Within] Let him walk from whence he came, lest he
catch cold on's feet.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS Who talks within there? ho, open the door!
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE [Within] Right, sir; I'll tell you when, an you tell
me wherefore.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS Wherefore? for my dinner: I have not dined to-day.
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE [Within] Nor to-day here you must not; come again
when you may.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS What art thou that keepest me out from the house I owe?
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE [Within] The porter for this time, sir, and my name
is Dromio.
DROMIO OF EPHESUS O villain! thou hast stolen both mine office and my name.
The one ne'er got me credit, the other mickle blame.
If thou hadst been Dromio to-day in my place,
Thou wouldst have changed thy face for a name or thy
name for an ass.
LUCE [Within] What a coil is there, Dromio? who are those
at the gate?
DROMIO OF EPHESUS Let my master in, Luce.
LUCE [Within] Faith, no; he comes too late;
And so tell your master.
DROMIO OF EPHESUS O Lord, I must laugh!
Have at you with a proverb--Shall I set in my staff?
LUCE [Within] Have at you with another; that's--When?
can you tell?
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE [Within] If thy name be call'd Luce--Luce, thou hast
answered him well.
