Abb. By men of Epidamnum, 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 fon from them,
And me they left with those of Epidamnum.
What then became of them, I cannot tell;

Did call me brother. What I told you then,

If this be not a dream I fee and hear.

By Dromio; but, I think, he brought it not.

I fee, we ftill did meet each other's man,
And I was ta'en for him, and he for me,
And thereupon thefe errors all arofe.
