The Comedy of Errors
- My youngest boy, and yet my eldest care, At eighteen years became inquisitive After his brother, and importun'd me That his attendant,—so his case was like, Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name,— Might bear him company in the quest of him: Whom whilst I laboured of a love to see, I hazarded the loss of whom I lov'd.†
Scene 1.1
- I to the world am like a drop of water That in the ocean seeks another drop; Who, failing there to find his fellow forth, Unseen, inquisitive, confounds himself: So I, to find a mother and a brother, In quest of them, unhappy, lose myself.†
Scene 1.2 *
