<A NAME=speech17><b>DROMIO OF EPHESUS</b></a>

<A NAME=33>I am an ass, indeed; you may prove it by my long</A><br>
<A NAME=34>ears. I have served him from the hour of my</A><br>

<A NAME=36>hands for my service but blows. When I am cold, he</A><br>
<A NAME=37>heats me with beating; when I am warm, he cools me</A><br>
<A NAME=38>with beating; I am waked with it when I sleep;</A><br>
<A NAME=39>raised with it when I sit; driven out of doors with</A><br>
<A NAME=40>it when I go from home; welcomed home with it when</A><br>
<A NAME=41>I return; nay, I bear it on my shoulders, as a</A><br>
<A NAME=42>beggar wont her brat; and, I think when he hath</A><br>
<A NAME=43>lamed me, I shall beg with it from door to door.</A><br>

<A NAME=51>How say you now? is not your husband mad?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech22><b>ADRIANA</b></a>
<blockquote>

</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech24><b>Courtezan</b></a>

</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech25><b>PINCH</b></a>

</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech27><b>PINCH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=61>I charge thee, Satan, housed within this man,</A><br>

<A NAME=65>ANTIPHOLUS</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech28><b>OF EPHESUS</b></a>

<A NAME=66>Peace, doting wizard, peace! I am not mad.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech29><b>ADRIANA</b></a>
<blockquote>

<A NAME=68>ANTIPHOLUS</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech30><b>OF EPHESUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=69>You minion, you, are these your customers?</A><br>
<A NAME=70>Did this companion with the saffron face</A><br>
<A NAME=71>Revel and feast it at my house to-day,</A><br>
<A NAME=72>Whilst upon me the guilty doors were shut</A><br>
<A NAME=73>And I denied to enter in my house?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech31><b>ADRIANA</b></a>
<blockquote>

<A NAME=75>Where would you had remain'd until this time,</A><br>
<A NAME=76>Free from these slanders and this open shame!</A><br>
<A NAME=77>ANTIPHOLUS</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=78>Dined at home! Thou villain, what sayest thou?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech33><b>DROMIO OF EPHESUS</b></a>
<blockquote>

<A NAME=80>ANTIPHOLUS</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech34><b>OF EPHESUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=81>Were not my doors lock'd up and I shut out?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech35><b>DROMIO OF EPHESUS</b></a>
<blockquote>

<A NAME=83>ANTIPHOLUS</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech36><b>OF EPHESUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=84>And did not she herself revile me there?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech37><b>DROMIO OF EPHESUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=85>Sans fable, she herself reviled you there.</A><br>
<A NAME=86>ANTIPHOLUS</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech38><b>OF EPHESUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=87>Did not her kitchen-maid rail, taunt, and scorn me?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech39><b>DROMIO OF EPHESUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=88>Certes, she did; the kitchen-vestal scorn'd you.</A><br>
<A NAME=89>ANTIPHOLUS</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech40><b>OF EPHESUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=90>And did not I in rage depart from thence?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech41><b>DROMIO OF EPHESUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=91>In verity you did; my bones bear witness,</A><br>
<A NAME=92>That since have felt the vigour of his rage.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech42><b>ADRIANA</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=93>Is't good to soothe him in these contraries?</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech43><b>PINCH</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=94>It is no shame: the fellow finds his vein,</A><br>
<A NAME=95>And yielding to him humours well his frenzy.</A><br>
<A NAME=96>ANTIPHOLUS</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech44><b>OF EPHESUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=97>Thou hast suborn'd the goldsmith to arrest me.</A><br>
</blockquote>
<A NAME=speech45><b>ADRIANA</b></a>
