ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS Were not my doors lock'd up and I shut out?
DROMIO OF EPHESUS Perdie, your doors were lock'd and you shut out.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS And did not she herself revile me there?
DROMIO OF EPHESUS Sans fable, she herself reviled you there.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS Did not her kitchen-maid rail, taunt, and scorn me?
DROMIO OF EPHESUS Certes, she did; the kitchen-vestal scorn'd you.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS And did not I in rage depart from thence?
DROMIO OF EPHESUS In verity you did; my bones bear witness,
That since have felt the vigour of his rage.
ADRIANA Is't good to soothe him in these contraries?
PINCH It is no shame: the fellow finds his vein,
And yielding to him humours well his frenzy.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS Thou hast suborn'd the goldsmith to arrest me.
ADRIANA Alas, I sent you money to redeem you,
By Dromio here, who came in haste for it.
DROMIO OF EPHESUS Money by me! heart and goodwill you might;
But surely master, not a rag of money.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS Went'st not thou to her for a purse of ducats?
ADRIANA He came to me and I deliver'd it.
LUCIANA And I am witness with her that she did.
DROMIO OF EPHESUS God and the rope-maker bear me witness
That I was sent for nothing but a rope!
PINCH Mistress, both man and master is possess'd;
I know it by their pale and deadly looks:
They must be bound and laid in some dark room.
