Good sir, draw near to me, I 'll speak to him. --
Signior Antipholus, I wonder much
That you would put me to this shame and trouble,
And, not without some scandal to yourself,
With circumstance and oaths so to deny
This chain which now you wear so openly.
Beside the charge, the shame, imprisonment,
You have done wrong to this my honest friend,
Who, but for staying on our controversy, 20
Had hoisted sail and put to sea to-day.
This chain you had of me; can you deny it?
Antipholus of S. I think I had; I never did deny it.
2 Merchant. Yes, that you did, sir, and forswore it too.
Antipholus of S. Who heard me to deny it or forswear it?
2 Merchant. These cars of mine, thou know'st, did hear
thee.
Fie on thee, wretch ! 't is pity that thou liv'st
To walk where any honest men resort.
Antipholus of S. Thou art a villain to impeach me thus;
I 'll prove mine honour and mine honesty 30
Against thee presently, if thou dar'st stand.
2 Merchant. I dare, and do defy thee for a villain.
[They draw.
Enter ADRIANA, LUCIANA, the Courtesan, and others.
Adriana. Hold, hurt him not, for God's sake! he is mad. --
Some get within him, take his sword away.
Bind Dromio too, and bear them to my house.
Dromio of S. Run, master, run; for God's sake, take a
house!
This is some priory. In, or we are spoil'd!
[Exeunt Antipholus of S. and Dromio of S. to the Priory.
Enter the Lady Abbess.
Abbess. Be quiet, people. Wherefore throng you hither?
