1382They must be bound and laide in some darke roome.

1383Ant. Say wherefore didst thou locke me forth to day,

1384And why dost thou denie the bagge of gold?

1385Adr. I did not gentle husband locke thee forth.

1386Dro. And gentle Mr I receiu'd no gold:

1387But I confesse sir, that we were lock'd out.

1388Adr. Dissembling Villain, thou speak'st false in both

1389Ant. Dissembling harlot, thou art false in all,

1390And art confederate with a damned packe,

1391To make a loathsome abiect scorne of me:

1392But with these nailes, Ile plucke out these false eyes,

1393That would behold in me this shamefull sport.

1396Adr. Oh binde him, binde him, let him not come

1397neere me.

1398Pinch. More company, the fiend is strong within him

1399Luc. Aye me poore man, how pale and wan he looks.

1400Ant. What will you murther me, thou Iailor thou?

1401I am thy prisoner, wilt thou suffer them to make a res-

1402cue?

1403Offi. Masters let him go: he is my prisoner, and you

1404shall not haue him.

1405Pinch. Go binde this man, for he is franticke too.

1406Adr. What wilt thou do, thou peeuish Officer?

1407Hast thou delight to see a wretched man

1408Do outrage and displeasure to himselfe?

1409Offi. He is my prisoner, if I let him go,

1410The debt he owes will be requir'd of me.

1411Adr. I will discharge thee ere I go from thee,

1412Beare me forthwith vnto his Creditor,

1413And knowing how the debt growes I will pay it.

1414Good Master Doctor see him safe conuey'd

1415Home to my house, oh most vnhappy day.

1416Ant. Oh most vnhappie strumpet.

1417Dro. Master, I am heere entred in bond for you.

1418Ant. Out on thee Villaine, wherefore dost thou mad

1419mee?

1420Dro. Will you be bound for nothing, be mad good

1422Luc. God helpe poore soules, how idlely doe they

1423talke.

1424Adr. Go beare him hence, sister go you with me:

1425Say now, whose suite is he arrested at?

1427Off. One Angelo a Goldsmith, do you know him?

1428Adr. I know the man: what is the summe he owes?

1429Off. Two hundred Duckets.

1430Adr. Say, how growes it due.

1431Off. Due for a Chaine your husband had of him.

1432Adr. He did bespeake a Chain for me, but had it not.

1433Cur. When as your husband all in rage to day

1434Came to my house, and tooke away my Ring,

1435The Ring I saw vpon his finger now,

1436Straight after did I meete him with a Chaine.

1437Adr. It may be so, but I did neuer see it.

1438Come Iailor, bring me where the Goldsmith is,

1439I long to know the truth heereof at large.

1442Luc. God for thy mercy, they are loose againe.

1443Adr. And come with naked swords,

1444Let's call more helpe to haue them bound againe.

1446Off. Away, they'l kill vs.

1448S.Ant. I see these Witches are affraid of swords.

1449S.Dro. She that would be your wife, now ran from

1450you.

1451Ant. Come to the Centaur, fetch our stuffe from

1452thence:

1453I long that we were safe and sound aboord.

1454Dro. Faith stay heere this night, they will surely do

1455vs no harme: you saw they speake vs faire, giue vs gold:

1456me thinkes they are such a gentle Nation, that but for

1457the Mountaine of mad flesh that claimes mariage of me,

1458I could finde in my heart to stay heere still, and turne

1459Witch.

1460Ant. I will not stay to night for all the Towne,

1461Therefore away, to get our stuffe aboord. Exeunt

1464Gold. I am sorry Sir that I haue hindred you,

1465But I protest he had the Chaine of me,

1466Though most dishonestly he doth denie it.

1467Mar. How is the man esteem'd heere in the Citie?

1468Gold. Of very reuerent reputation sir,

1469Of credit infinite, highly belou'd,

1470Second to none that liues heere in the Citie:

1471His word might beare my wealth at any time.

1472Mar. Speake softly, yonder as I thinke he walkes.

1474Gold. 'Tis so: and that selfe chaine about his necke,

1475Which he forswore most monstrously to haue.

1476Good sir draw neere to me, Ile speake to him:

1477Signior Antipholus, I wonder much

1478That you would put me to this shame and trouble,

1479And not without some scandall to your selfe,

1480With circumstance and oaths, so to denie

1481This Chaine, which now you weare so openly.

1482Beside the charge, the shame, imprisonment,

1483You haue done wrong to this my honest friend,

1484Who but for staying on our Controuersie,

1485Had hoisted saile, and put to sea to day:

1486This Chaine you had of me, can you deny it?

1487Ant. I thinke I had, I neuer did deny it.

1488Mar. Yes that you did sir, and forswore it too.

1489Ant. Who heard me to denie it or forsweare it?

1490Mar. These eares of mine thou knowst did hear thee:

1491Fie on thee wretch, 'tis pitty that thou liu'st

1492To walke where any honest men resort.

1493Ant. Thou art a Villaine to impeach me thus,

1494Ile proue mine honor, and mine honestie

1495Against thee presently, if thou dar'st stand:

1496Mar. I dare and do defie thee for a villaine.

1498Adr. Hold, hurt him not for God sake, he is mad,

1499Some get within him, take his sword away:

1500Binde Dromio too, and beare them to my house.

1501S.Dro. Runne master run, for Gods sake take a house,

1502This is some Priorie, in, or we are spoyl'd.
