DROMIO OF EPHESUS.

Say, wherefore didst thou lock me forth today,
And why dost thou deny the bag of gold?
ADRIANA.

DROMIO OF EPHESUS.

ANTIPHOLUS OF EPHESUS.

To make a loathsome abject scorn of me.
But with these nails I’ll pluck out these false eyes
That would behold in me this shameful sport.

ADRIANA.
