In what safe place you have bestow'd my money,  
Or I shall break that merry sconce of yours  
That stands on tricks when I am undisposed:  
Where is the thousand marks thou hadst of me?  
DROMIO OF EPHESUS  
I have some marks of yours upon my pate,  
Some of my mistress' marks upon my shoulders,  
But not a thousand marks between you both.  
If I should pay your worship those again,  
Perchance you will not bear them patiently.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
Thy mistress' marks? what mistress, slave, hast thou?  
DROMIO OF EPHESUS  
Your worship's wife, my mistress at the Phoenix;  
She that doth fast till you come home to dinner,  
And prays that you will hie you home to dinner.  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
What, wilt thou flout me thus unto my face,  
Being forbid? There, take you that, sir knave.  
DROMIO OF EPHESUS  
What mean you, sir? for God's sake, hold your hands!  
Nay, and you will not, sir, I'll take my heels.  
Exit  
ANTIPHOLUS  
OF SYRACUSE  
Upon my life, by some device or other  
The villain is o'er-raught of all my money.  
They say this town is full of cozenage,  
As, nimble jugglers that deceive the eye,  
Dark-working sorcerers that change the mind,  
Soul-killing witches that deform the body,  
Disguised cheaters, prating mountebanks,  
And many such-like liberties of sin:  
If it prove so, I will be gone the sooner.  
I'll to the Centaur, to go seek this slave:  
I greatly fear my money is not safe.  
Exit
