ACT III.
_SCENE I. Before the house of _ANTIPHOLUS of Ephesus_._
_Enter _ANTIPHOLUS of Ephesus_, _DROMIO of Ephesus_, ANGELO, and BALTHAZAR._
_Ant. E._ Good Signior Angelo, you must excuse us all; My wife is shrewish when I keep not hours: Say that I linger"d with you at your shop To see the making of her carcanet, And that to-morrow you will bring it home. 5 But here"s a villain that would face me down He met me on the mart, and that I beat him, And charged him with a thousand marks in gold, And that I did deny my wife and house.
Thou drunkard, thou, what didst thou mean by this? 10
_Dro. E._ Say what you will, sir, but I know what I know; That you beat me at the mart, I have your hand to show: If the skin were parchment, and the blows you gave were ink, Your own handwriting would tell you what I think.
_Ant. E._ I think thou art an a.s.s.
_Dro. E._ Marry, so it doth appear 15 By the wrongs I suffer, and the blows I bear.
I should kick, being kick"d; and, being at that pa.s.s, You would keep from my heels, and beware of an a.s.s.
_Ant. E._ You"re sad, Signior Balthazar: pray G.o.d our cheer May answer my good will and your good welcome here. 20
_Bal._ I hold your dainties cheap, sir, and your welcome dear.
_Ant. E._ O, Signior Balthazar, either at flesh or fish, A table full of welcome makes scarce one dainty dish.
_Bal._ Good meat, sir, is common; that every churl affords.
_Ant. E._ And welcome more common; for that"s nothing but words. 25
