LUCIANA
Alas, how fiery and how sharp he looks!
COURT ESAN
Mark how he trembles in his ecstasy.
PINCH
Give me your hand, and let me feel your pulse.
ANTIPHOLUS E.
There is my hand, and let it feel your ear. [50]
[He strikes Pinch.]
PINCH
I charge thee, Satan, housed within this man,
To yield possession to my holy prayers.
And to thy state of darkness hie thee straight.
I conjure thee by all the saints in heaven.
ANTIPHOLUS E.
Peace, doting wizard, peace. I am not mad. [55]
ADRIANA
O that thou wert not, poor distressèd soul!
ANTIPHOLUS E.
You, minion, you, are these your customers?
Did this companion with the saffron face
Revel and feast it at my house today,
Whilst upon me the guilty doors were shut, [60]
And I denied to enter in my house?
ADRIANA
O, husband, God doth know you dined at home,
Where would you had remained until this time,
Free from these slanders and this open shame.
ANTIPHOLUS E.
Dined at home? [To Dromio] Thou, villain, what sayst thou? [65]
