1

III,1,612

Good Signior Angelo, you must excuse us all;
My wife is shrewish when I keep not hours:...

2

III,1,626

I think thou art an ass.

3

III,1,631

You're sad, Signior Balthazar: pray God our cheer
May answer my good will and your good welcome here.

4

III,1,635

O, Signior Balthazar, either at flesh or fish,
A table full of welcome make scarce one dainty dish.

5

III,1,638

And welcome more common; for that's nothing but words.

6

III,1,640

Ay, to a niggardly host, and more sparing guest:
But though my cates be mean, take them in good part;...

7

III,1,655

Who talks within there? ho, open the door!

8

III,1,658

Wherefore? for my dinner: I have not dined to-day.

9

III,1,661

What art thou that keepest me out from the house I owe?

10

III,1,680

Do you hear, you minion? you'll let us in, I hope?

11

III,1,684

Thou baggage, let me in.

12

III,1,688

You'll cry for this, minion, if I beat the door down.

13

III,1,694

Are you there, wife? you might have come before.

14

III,1,701

There is something in the wind, that we cannot get in.

15

III,1,705

Go fetch me something: I'll break ope the gate.

16

III,1,715

Well, I'll break in: go borrow me a crow.

17

III,1,719

Go get thee gone; fetch me an iron crow.

18

III,1,742

You have prevailed: I will depart in quiet,
And, in despite of mirth, mean to be merry....

19

III,1,760

Do so. This jest shall cost me some expense.

20

IV,1,967

While I go to the goldsmith's house, go thou
And buy a rope's end: that will I bestow...

21

IV,1,975

A man is well holp up that trusts to you:
I promised your presence and the chain;...

22

IV,1,987

I am not furnish'd with the present money;
Besides, I have some business in the town....

23

IV,1,994

No; bear it with you, lest I come not time enough.

24

IV,1,996

An if I have not, sir, I hope you have;
Or else you may return without your money.

25

IV,1,1001

Good Lord! you use this dalliance to excuse
Your breach of promise to the Porpentine....

26

IV,1,1007

Why, give it to my wife and fetch your money.

27

IV,1,1010

Fie, now you run this humour out of breath,
where's the chain? I pray you, let me see it.

28

IV,1,1015

I answer you! what should I answer you?

29

IV,1,1017

I owe you none till I receive the chain.

30

IV,1,1019

You gave me none: you wrong me much to say so.

31

IV,1,1027

Consent to pay thee that I never had!
Arrest me, foolish fellow, if thou darest.

32

IV,1,1033

I do obey thee till I give thee bail.
But, sirrah, you shall buy this sport as dear...

33

IV,1,1047

How now! a madman! Why, thou peevish sheep,
What ship of Epidamnum stays for me?

34

IV,1,1050

Thou drunken slave, I sent thee for a rope;
And told thee to what purpose and what end.

35

IV,1,1054

I will debate this matter at more leisure
And teach your ears to list me with more heed....

36

IV,4,1249

Fear me not, man; I will not break away:
I'll give thee, ere I leave thee, so much money,...

37

IV,4,1260

But where's the money?

38

IV,4,1262

Five hundred ducats, villain, for a rope?

39

IV,4,1264

To what end did I bid thee hie thee home?

40

IV,4,1266

And to that end, sir, I will welcome you.

41

IV,4,1272

Thou whoreson, senseless villain!

42

IV,4,1275

Thou art sensible in nothing but blows, and so is an
ass.

43

IV,4,1288

Come, go along; my wife is coming yonder.

44

IV,4,1293

Wilt thou still talk?

45

IV,4,1303

There is my hand, and let it feel your ear.

46

IV,4,1309

Peace, doting wizard, peace! I am not mad.

47

IV,4,1311

You minion, you, are these your customers?
Did this companion with the saffron face...

48

IV,4,1319

Dined at home! Thou villain, what sayest thou?

49

IV,4,1321

Were not my doors lock'd up and I shut out?

50

IV,4,1323

And did not she herself revile me there?

51

IV,4,1325

Did not her kitchen-maid rail, taunt, and scorn me?

52

IV,4,1327

And did not I in rage depart from thence?

53

IV,4,1333

Thou hast suborn'd the goldsmith to arrest me.

54

IV,4,1338

Went'st not thou to her for a purse of ducats?

55

IV,4,1346

Say, wherefore didst thou lock me forth to-day?
And why dost thou deny the bag of gold?

56

IV,4,1352

Dissembling harlot, thou art false in all;
And art confederate with a damned pack...

57

IV,4,1362

What, will you murder me? Thou gaoler, thou,
I am thy prisoner: wilt thou suffer them...

58

IV,4,1379

O most unhappy strumpet!

59

IV,4,1381

Out on thee, villain! wherefore dost thou mad me?

60

V,1,1627

Justice, most gracious duke, O, grant me justice!
Even for the service that long since I did thee,...

61

V,1,1634

Justice, sweet prince, against that woman there!
She whom thou gavest to me to be my wife,...

62

V,1,1641

This day, great duke, she shut the doors upon me,
While she with harlots feasted in my house.

63

V,1,1651

My liege, I am advised what I say,
Neither disturbed with the effect of wine,...

64

V,1,1703

I never came within these abbey-walls,
Nor ever didst thou draw thy sword on me:...

65

V,1,1715

'Tis true, my liege; this ring I had of her.

66

V,1,1735

I never saw you in my life till now.

67

V,1,1740

Neither.

68

V,1,1758

I never saw my father in my life.

69

V,1,1762

The duke and all that know me in the city
Can witness with me that it is not so...

70

V,1,1807

I came from Corinth, my most gracious lord,—

71

V,1,1809

Brought to this town by that most famous warrior,
Duke Menaphon, your most renowned uncle.

72

V,1,1814

No; I say nay to that.

73

V,1,1824

And you, sir, for this chain arrested me.

74

V,1,1834

These ducats pawn I for my father here.

75

V,1,1837

There, take it; and much thanks for my good cheer.

76

V,1,1856

Dromio, what stuff of mine hast thou embark'd?
