COBBLER. Truly, sir, all that I live by, is with the awl: I meddle with no tradesman’s matters, nor women’s matters, but withal. I am indeed, sir, a surgeon to old shoes; when they are in great danger, I recover them. As proper men as ever trod upon 25 neat’s leather have gone upon my handiwork. FLAVIUS. But wherefore art not in thy shop today? Why dost thou lead these men about the streets? COBBLER. Truly, sir, to wear out their shoes to get myself into more work.
