The Comedy of Errors


The pleasing punishment that women bear.
    Aegeon - The Comedy of Errors. Act i. Scene 1.


A wretched soul, bruised with adversity.
We bid be quiet when we hear it cry;
But were we burd'ned with like weight of pain,
As much, or more, we should ourselves complain
    Adriana - The Comedy of Errors. Act ii. Scene 1.


Every why hath a wherefore.
    Dromio of Syracuse - The Comedy of Errors. Act ii. Scene 2.


Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast.
    Balthazar - The Comedy of Errors. Act iii. Scene 1.


One Pinch, a hungry lean-faced villain,
A mere anatomy, a mountebank,
A threadbare juggler, and a fortune-teller;
A needy, hollow-ey'd, sharp-looking wretch;
A living dead man
    Antipholus of Ephesus - The Comedy of Errors. Act v. Scene 1.


Let 's go hand in hand, not one before another.
    Dromio of Ephesus - The Comedy of Errors. Act v. Scene 1.
