You say he dined at home; the goldsmith here
Denies that saying. Sirrah, what say you?
DROMIO OF EPHESUS
Sir, he dined with her there, at the Porpentine.
Courtezan
He did, and from my finger snatch'd that ring.
ANTIPHOLUS
OF EPHESUS
'
Tis true, my liege; this ring I had of her.
DUKE SOLINUS
Saw'st thou him enter at the abbey here?
Courtezan
As sure, my liege, as I do see your grace.
DUKE SOLINUS
Why, this is strange. Go call the abbess hither.
I think you are all mated or stark mad.
Exit one to Abbess
AEGEON
Most mighty duke, vouchsafe me speak a word:
Haply I see a friend will save my life
And pay the sum that may deliver me.
DUKE SOLINUS
Speak freely, Syracusian, what thou wilt.
AEGEON
Is not your name, sir, call'd Antipholus?
And is not that your bondman, Dromio?
DROMIO OF EPHESUS
Within this hour I was his bondman sir,
But he, I thank him, gnaw'd in two my cords:
Now am I Dromio and his man unbound.
AEGEON
I am sure you both of you remember me.
DROMIO OF EPHESUS
Ourselves we do remember, sir, by you;
For lately we were bound, as you are now
You are not Pinch's patient, are you, sir?
AEGEON
Why look you strange on me? you know me well.
ANTIPHOLUS
I never saw you in my life till now.
AEGEON
O, grief hath changed me since you saw me last,
And careful hours with time's deformed hand
Have written strange defeatures in my face:
But tell me yet, dost thou not know my voice?
