Dro. S. There’s no time for a man to recover his hair that grows bald by nature.
Ant. S. May he not do it by fine and recovery?
Dro. S. Yes, to pay a fine for a periwig, and recover 75 the lost hair of another man.
Ant. S. Why is Time such a niggard of [hair], being, as it is, so plentiful an excrement?
Dro. S. Because it is a blessing that he bestows on beasts: and what he hath scanted [men] in hair, he hath 80 given them in wit.
Ant. S. Why, but there’s many a man hath more hair than wit.
Dro. S. Not a man of those but he hath the wit to lose his hair.
85 Ant. S. Why, thou didst conclude hairy men plain dealers without wit.
Dro. S. The plainer dealer, the sooner lost: yet he loseth it in a kind of jollity.
Ant. S. For what reason?
