All gather to see them.

ADRIANA

I see two husbands, or mine eyes deceive me. [330]

DUKE

One of these men is genius to the other;
And so, of these, which is the natural man,
And which the spirit? Who deciphers them?

DROMIO S.

I, sir, am Dromio. Command him away.

DROMIO E.

I, sir, am Dromio. Pray let me stay. [335]

ANTIPHOLUS S.

Egeon, art thou not? or else his ghost.

DROMIO S.

O, my old master! Who hath bound him here?

ABBESS

Whoever bound him, I will loose his bonds,
And gain a husband by his liberty.
Speak, old Egeon, if thou be’st the man [340]
That hadst a wife once called Æmilia,
That bore thee at a burden two fair sons.
O, if thou be’st the same Egeon, speak,
And speak unto the same Æmilia.

DUKE

These two Antipholus’, these two so like,
And these two Dromios, one in semblance,
Besides her urging of her wrack at sea -
These are the parents to these children,
Which accidentally are met together. [350]
