One of these men is genius to the other:

And so of these, which is the natural man,

And which the spirit? Who deciphers them?

S. Dro.

E. Dro.

I, sir, am Dromio, pray let me stay.

O my old master, who hath bound him here?

Abb.

Whoever bound him, I will loose his bonds,

And gain a husband by his liberty.

Speak, old Egeon, if thou be’st the man

That hadst a wife once call’d Aemilia,

That bore thee at a burthen two fair sons.

O, if thou be’st the same Egeon, speak,

And speak unto the same Aemilia!

Ege.

If I dream not, thou art Aemilia.

If thou art she, tell me, where is that son

That floated with thee on the fatal raft?

Abb.

By men of Epidamium he and I,

And the twin Dromio, all were taken up;

But by and by rude fishermen of Corinth

By force took Dromio and my son from them,

And me they left with those of Epidamium.

What then became of them I cannot tell;

I to this fortune that you see me in.
