1 |
Neither my husband nor the slave return'd,
|
|
2 |
Why should their liberty than ours be more? |
|
3 |
Look, when I serve him so, he takes it ill. |
|
4 |
There's none but asses will be bridled so. |
|
5 |
This servitude makes you to keep unwed. |
|
6 |
But, were you wedded, you would bear some sway. |
|
7 |
How if your husband start some other where? |
|
8 |
Patience unmoved! no marvel though she pause;
|
|
9 |
Say, is your tardy master now at hand? |
|
10 |
Say, didst thou speak with him? know'st thou his mind? |
|
11 |
But say, I prithee, is he coming home? It seems he
|
|
12 |
Horn-mad, thou villain! |
|
13 |
Go back again, thou slave, and fetch him home. |
|
14 |
Back, slave, or I will break thy pate across. |
|
15 |
Hence, prating peasant! fetch thy master home. |
|
16 |
His company must do his minions grace,
|
|
17 |
Unfeeling fools can with such wrongs dispense.
|
|
18 |
Ay, ay, Antipholus, look strange and frown:
|
|
19 |
By thee; and this thou didst return from him,
|
|
20 |
How ill agrees it with your gravity
|
|
21 |
Come, come, no longer will I be a fool,
|
|
22 |
Ay; and let none enter, lest I break your pate. |
|
23 |
[Within] Who is that at the door that keeps all
|
|
24 |
[Within] Your wife, sir knave! go get you from the door. |
|
25 |
Ah, Luciana, did he tempt thee so?
|
|
26 |
He meant he did me none; the more my spite. |
|
27 |
And true he swore, though yet forsworn he were. |
|
28 |
And what said he? |
|
29 |
With what persuasion did he tempt thy love? |
|
30 |
Didst speak him fair? |
|
31 |
I cannot, nor I will not, hold me still;
|
|
32 |
Ah, but I think him better than I say,
|
|
33 |
Where is thy master, Dromio? is he well? |
|
34 |
Why, man, what is the matter? |
|
35 |
What, is he arrested? Tell me at whose suit. |
|
36 |
Go fetch it, sister.
|
|
37 |
What, the chain? |
|
38 |
The hours come back! that did I never hear. |
|
39 |
As if Time were in debt! how fondly dost thou reason! |
|
40 |
Go, Dromio; there's the money, bear it straight;
|
|
41 |
His incivility confirms no less.
|
|
42 |
O, that thou wert not, poor distressed soul! |
|
43 |
O husband, God doth know you dined at home;
|
|
44 |
Is't good to soothe him in these contraries? |
|
45 |
Alas, I sent you money to redeem you,
|
|
46 |
He came to me and I deliver'd it. |
|
47 |
I did not, gentle husband, lock thee forth. |
|
48 |
Dissembling villain, thou speak'st false in both. |
|
49 |
O, bind him, bind him! let him not come near me. |
|
50 |
What wilt thou do, thou peevish officer?
|
|
51 |
I will discharge thee ere I go from thee:
|
|
52 |
Go bear him hence. Sister, go you with me.
|
|
53 |
I know the man. What is the sum he owes? |
|
54 |
Say, how grows it due? |
|
55 |
He did bespeak a chain for me, but had it not. |
|
56 |
It may be so, but I did never see it.
|
|
57 |
And come with naked swords.
|
|
58 |
Hold, hurt him not, for God's sake! he is mad.
|
|
59 |
To fetch my poor distracted husband hence.
|
|
60 |
This week he hath been heavy, sour, sad,
|
|
61 |
To none of these, except it be the last;
|
|
62 |
Why, so I did. |
|
63 |
As roughly as my modesty would let me. |
|
64 |
And in assemblies too. |
|
65 |
It was the copy of our conference:
|
|
66 |
She did betray me to my own reproof.
|
|
67 |
Then let your servants bring my husband forth. |
|
68 |
I will attend my husband, be his nurse,
|
|
69 |
I will not hence and leave my husband here:
|
|
70 |
Come, go: I will fall prostrate at his feet
|
|
71 |
Justice, most sacred duke, against the abbess! |
|
72 |
May it please your grace, Antipholus, my husband,
|
|
73 |
Peace, fool! thy master and his man are here,
|
|
74 |
Ay me, it is my husband! Witness you,
|
|
75 |
No, my good lord: myself, he and my sister
|
|
76 |
I see two husbands, or mine eyes deceive me. |
|
77 |
Which of you two did dine with me to-day? |
|
78 |
And are not you my husband? |
|
79 |
I sent you money, sir, to be your bail,
|
