25 " Since mine own doors refuse to entertain me,I'll knock elsewhere, to see if they'll disdain me "
26 " What is the course and drift of your compact? "
27 " Hopeless and helpless doth AEgeon wend,But to procrastinate his lifeless end. "
28 " The pleasing punishment that women bare.... "
29 " Return'd so soon! Rather approached too late: the capron burns, the pig falls from the spit, the clock hath strucken twelve upon the bell; my mistress made it one upon my cheek: she is hot because the meat is cold; the meat is cold because you have no stomach, you have no stomach, having broke your fast; but we, that know what 'tis to fast and pray, are pentent for your default today. "

36 " E. Dromio: I am an ass, indeed; you may prove it by my long 'ears.I have served him from the hour of mynativity to this instant, and have nothing at hishands for my service but blows.When I am cold heats me with beating; when I am warm he cools me with beating.I am wak' d with it when I sleep; rais'd with it when I sit; driven out of doors with it when I go from home; welcom'd home with it when I return; nay, I bear it on my shoulders, as a beggar wont her brat; and, I think, when he hath lam'd me, I shall beg with it from door to door. "
37 " إن الشقاء قد يعتصر النفس البائسة،فإذا سمعناها تبكي ناشدناها أن تسكن،غير أننا،لو تحملنا ثقل ما تحمل من ألملتشكينا مثلها أو زدنا عليها شكوى "
38 " إني أرى الحلية مهما أتقنت صياغتها وأحسن طلاؤهايذهب رونقها.أما الذهب فيها فيبقىوإن تناوله الآخرون!غير أن كثرة التعرضتبلي الذهب،فإذا كان الرجل ذا سمعة طيبةفيجب ألا يسئ إلى سمعته بالخيانة والفساد. "
