wench![]() ![]() Dromio:
Marry, sir, she's the kitchen wench and all grease; and I know not what use to put her to but to make a lamp of her and run from her by her own light. I warrant, her rags and the tallow in them will burn a Poland winter: if she lives till doomsday, she'll burn a week longer than the whole world. Antipholus: What complexion is she of? Dromio: Swart, like my shoe, but her face nothing half so clean kept: for why, she sweats; a man may go over shoes in the grime of it. Antipholus: That's a fault that water will mend.

Dromio: Nell, sir; but her name and three quarters, that's an ell and three quarters, will not measure her from hip to hip. Antipholus: Then she bears some breadth? Dromio: No longer from head to foot than from hip to hip: she is spherical, like a globe... (Comedy of Errors, Act 3, Scene 2) Commentsroselover
