Spread o'er the silver waves thy golden hairs,  
And as a bed I'll take them and there lie,  
And in that glorious supposition think  
He gains by death that hath such means to die:  
Let Love, being light, be drowned if she sink!  
LUCIANA  
What, are you mad, that you do reason so?  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
Not mad, but mated; how, I do not know.  
LUCIANA  
It is a fault that springeth from your eye.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
For gazing on your beams, fair sun, being by.  
LUCIANA  
Gaze where you should, and that will clear your sight.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
As good to wink, sweet love, as look on night.  
LUCIANA  
Why call you me love? call my sister so.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
Thy sister's sister.  
LUCIANA  
That's my sister.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
No;  
It is thyself, mine own self's better part,  
Mine eye's clear eye, my dear heart's dearer heart,  
My food, my fortune and my sweet hope's aim,  
My sole earth's heaven and my heaven's claim.  
LUCIANA  
All this my sister is, or else should be.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
Call thyself sister, sweet, for I am thee.  
Thee will I love and with thee lead my life:  
Thou hast no husband yet nor I no wife.  
Give me thy hand.  
LUCIANA  
O, soft, air! hold you still:  
I'll fetch my sister, to get her good will.  
Exit  
Enter DROMIO of Syracuse
