[Enter ANGELO with the chain]
ANGELO Master Antipholus,--
ANTIPHOLUS
OF SYRACUSE Ay, that's my name.
ANGELO I know it well, sir, lo, here is the chain.
I thought to have ta'en you at the Porpentine:
The chain unfinish'd made me stay thus long.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF SYRACUSE What is your will that I shall do with this?
ANGELO What please yourself, sir: I have made it for you.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF SYRACUSE Made it for me, sir! I bespoke it not.
ANGELO Not once, nor twice, but twenty times you have.
Go home with it and please your wife withal;
And soon at supper-time I'll visit you
And then receive my money for the chain.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF SYRACUSE I pray you, sir, receive the money now,
For fear you ne'er see chain nor money more.
ANGELO You are a merry man, sir: fare you well.
[Exit]
ANTIPHOLUS
OF SYRACUSE What I should think of this, I cannot tell:
But this I think, there's no man is so vain
That would refuse so fair an offer'd chain.
I see a man here needs not live by shifts,
When in the streets he meets such golden gifts.
I'll to the mart, and there for Dromio stay
If any ship put out, then straight away.
[Exit]
THE COMEDY OF ERRORS
ACT IV
SCENE I A public place.
[Enter Second Merchant, ANGELO, and an Officer]
Second Merchant You know since Pentecost the sum is due,
And since I have not much importuned you;
Nor now I had not, but that I am bound
To Persia, and want guilders for my voyage:
Therefore make present satisfaction,
Or I'll attach you by this officer.
