Sirrah, go hire me twenty cunning cooks.

Second Servant: You shall have none ill, sir; for I'll try if they can lick their fingers.

Capulet: How canst thou try them so?

Second Servant: Marry, sir, 'tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers: therefore he that cannot lick his fingers goes not with me.
