1 |
Good Signior Angelo, you must excuse us all;
|
|
2 |
I think thou art an ass. |
|
3 |
You're sad, Signior Balthazar: pray God our cheer
|
|
4 |
O, Signior Balthazar, either at flesh or fish,
|
|
5 |
And welcome more common; for that's nothing but words. |
|
6 |
Ay, to a niggardly host, and more sparing guest:
|
|
7 |
Who talks within there? ho, open the door! |
|
8 |
Wherefore? for my dinner: I have not dined to-day. |
|
9 |
What art thou that keepest me out from the house I owe? |
|
10 |
Do you hear, you minion? you'll let us in, I hope? |
|
11 |
Thou baggage, let me in. |
|
12 |
You'll cry for this, minion, if I beat the door down. |
|
13 |
Are you there, wife? you might have come before. |
|
14 |
There is something in the wind, that we cannot get in. |
|
15 |
Go fetch me something: I'll break ope the gate. |
|
16 |
Well, I'll break in: go borrow me a crow. |
|
17 |
Go get thee gone; fetch me an iron crow. |
|
18 |
You have prevailed: I will depart in quiet,
|
|
19 |
Do so. This jest shall cost me some expense. |
|
20 |
While I go to the goldsmith's house, go thou
|
|
21 |
A man is well holp up that trusts to you:
|
|
22 |
I am not furnish'd with the present money;
|
|
23 |
No; bear it with you, lest I come not time enough. |
|
24 |
An if I have not, sir, I hope you have;
|
|
25 |
Good Lord! you use this dalliance to excuse
|
|
26 |
Why, give it to my wife and fetch your money. |
|
27 |
Fie, now you run this humour out of breath,
|
|
28 |
I answer you! what should I answer you? |
|
29 |
I owe you none till I receive the chain. |
|
30 |
You gave me none: you wrong me much to say so. |
|
31 |
Consent to pay thee that I never had!
|
|
32 |
I do obey thee till I give thee bail.
|
|
33 |
How now! a madman! Why, thou peevish sheep,
|
|
34 |
Thou drunken slave, I sent thee for a rope;
|
|
35 |
I will debate this matter at more leisure
|
|
36 |
Fear me not, man; I will not break away:
|
|
37 |
But where's the money? |
|
38 |
Five hundred ducats, villain, for a rope? |
|
39 |
To what end did I bid thee hie thee home? |
|
40 |
And to that end, sir, I will welcome you. |
|
41 |
Thou whoreson, senseless villain! |
|
42 |
Thou art sensible in nothing but blows, and so is an
|
|
43 |
Come, go along; my wife is coming yonder. |
|
44 |
Wilt thou still talk? |
|
45 |
There is my hand, and let it feel your ear. |
|
46 |
Peace, doting wizard, peace! I am not mad. |
|
47 |
You minion, you, are these your customers?
|
|
48 |
Dined at home! Thou villain, what sayest thou? |
|
49 |
Were not my doors lock'd up and I shut out? |
|
50 |
And did not she herself revile me there? |
|
51 |
Did not her kitchen-maid rail, taunt, and scorn me? |
|
52 |
And did not I in rage depart from thence? |
|
53 |
Thou hast suborn'd the goldsmith to arrest me. |
|
54 |
Went'st not thou to her for a purse of ducats? |
|
55 |
Say, wherefore didst thou lock me forth to-day?
|
|
56 |
Dissembling harlot, thou art false in all;
|
|
57 |
What, will you murder me? Thou gaoler, thou,
|
|
58 |
O most unhappy strumpet! |
|
59 |
Out on thee, villain! wherefore dost thou mad me? |
|
60 |
Justice, most gracious duke, O, grant me justice!
|
|
61 |
Justice, sweet prince, against that woman there!
|
|
62 |
This day, great duke, she shut the doors upon me,
|
|
63 |
My liege, I am advised what I say,
|
|
64 |
I never came within these abbey-walls,
|
|
65 |
'Tis true, my liege; this ring I had of her. |
|
66 |
I never saw you in my life till now. |
|
67 |
Neither. |
|
68 |
I never saw my father in my life. |
|
69 |
The duke and all that know me in the city
|
|
70 |
I came from Corinth, my most gracious lord,— |
|
71 |
Brought to this town by that most famous warrior,
|
|
72 |
No; I say nay to that. |
|
73 |
And you, sir, for this chain arrested me. |
|
74 |
These ducats pawn I for my father here. |
|
75 |
There, take it; and much thanks for my good cheer. |
|
76 |
Dromio, what stuff of mine hast thou embark'd? |
