Yet will I favour thee in what I can.

 

-Duke of Ephesus

The Comedy of Errors      Act I Scene i, Line 150

The Duke is talking to Aegeon and he’s going to favour Aegeon by allowing him one extra day to live before he executes him. The crime? Aegeon is a stranger in Ephesus, and he’s from Syracuse. Wow! Forget about building a wall, they’ve come up with a significantly more comprehensive solution to deal with people coming in from other places: kill ‘em. One would think that this would be a fairly good deterrent. One would think.
