17 ) '7&6 [The house of ANTIPHOLUS of Ephesus.] [Enter ADRIANA and LUCIANA] ADRIANA: Neither my husband nor the slave return'd. Sure, Luciana, it is two o'clock. LUCIANA Perhaps some merchant hath invited him, and from the mart he's somewhere gone to dinner. Good sister, let us dine and never fret: A man is master of his liberty: Time is their master, and, when they see time, they'll go or come: if so, be patient, sister. ADRIANA Why should their liberty than ours be more? LUCIANA The beasts, the fishes, and the winged fowls, Are their males' subjects and at their controls: Men, more divine, the masters of all these, Lords of the wide world and wild watery seas, Are masters to their females, and their lords: Then let your will attend on their accords. ADRIANA This servitude makes you to keep unwed. Well, I will marry one day, but to try. Here comes your man; now is your husband nigh. [Enter DROMIO of Ephesus] ADRIANA Say, is your tardy master now at hand? DROMIO OF EPHESUS Nay, he's at two hands with me, and that my two ears can witness. ADRIANA Say, didst thou speak with him? Know st thou his mind? DROMIO OF EPHESUS Ay, ay, he told his mind upon mine ear: Beshrew his hand, I scarce could understand it. LUCIANA Spake he so doubtfully, thou couldst not feel his meaning? DROMIO OF EPHESUS Nay, he struck so plainly, I could too well feel his blows; and withal so doubtfully that I could scarce understand them. ADRIANA But say, I prithee, is he coming home? It seems he hath great care to please his wife. LUCIANA 15

18 DROMIO OF EPHESUS Why, mistress, sure my master is horn-mad. ADRIANA Horn-mad, thou villain DROMIO OF EPHESUS I mean not cuckold-mad; But, sure, he is stark mad. When I desired him to come home to dinner, He ask'd me for a thousand marks in gold: ''Tis dinner-time, quoth I; My gold quoth he; Your meat doth burn, quoth I; My gold quoth he: Will you come home? quoth I; My gold quoth he. Where is the thousand marks I gave thee, villain? The pig, quoth I, is burn'd; My gold quoth he: My mistress, sir quoth I; Hang up thy mistress I know not thy mistress; out on thy mistress LUCIANA Quoth who? DROMIO OF EPHESUS Go back again, and be new beaten home? For God's sake, send some other messenger. ADRIANA Back, slave, or I will break thy pate across. DROMIO OF EPHESUS And he will bless that cross with other beating: Between you I shall have a holy head. ADRIANA Hence, prating peasant Fetch thy master home. DROMIO OF EPHESUS Am I so round with you as you with me, That like a football you do spurn me thus? You spurn me hence, and he will spurn me hither: If I last in this service, you must case me in leather. [Exit] LUCIANA Fie, how impatience loureth in your face DROMIO OF EPHESUS Quoth my master: I know, quoth he, no house, no wife, no mistress. So that my errand, due unto my tongue, I thank him, I bare home upon my shoulders; For, in conclusion, he did beat me there. ADRIANA Go back again, thou slave, and fetch him home. 16
