shoes in the grime of it.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
That's a fault that water will mend.  
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE  
No, sir, 'tis in grain; Noah's flood could not do it.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
What's her name?  
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE  
Nell, sir; but her name and three quarters, that's  
an ell and three quarters, will not measure her from  
hip to hip.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
Then she bears some breadth?  
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE  
No longer from head to foot than from hip to hip:  
she is spherical, like a globe; I could find out  
countries in her.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
In what part of her body stands Ireland?  
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE  
Marry, in her buttocks: I found it out by the bogs.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
Where Scotland?  
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE  
I found it by the barrenness; hard in the palm of the hand.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
Where France?  
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE  
In her forehead; armed and reverted, making war  
against her heir.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
Where England?  
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE  
I looked for the chalky cliffs, but I could find no  
whiteness in them; but I guess it stood in her chin,  
by the salt rheum that ran between France and it.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
Where Spain?  
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE  
Faith, I saw it not; but I felt it hot in her breath.  
ANTIPHOLUS
