P. 1734
These ducats pawn I for my father here.
DUKE
It shall not need. Thy father hath his life.
COURT ESAN
Sir, I must have that diamond from you. [390]
ANTIPHOLUS E.
There, take it, and much thanks for my good cheer.
ABBESS
Renownèd Duke, vouchsafe to take the pains
To go with us into the abbey here,
And hear at large discoursèd all our fortunes,
And all that are assembled in this place, [395]
That by this symphatisèd one day’s error.
Have suffered wrong. Go, keep us company,
And we shall make full satisfaction.
Thirty-three years have I but gone in travail
Of you, my sons, and till this present hour [400]
My heavy burden ne’er deliverèd.
The Duke, my husband, and my children both,
And you, the calendars of their nativity,
Go to a gossips’ feast, and go with me.
After so long grief, such nativity. [405]
DUKE
With all my heart I’ll gossip at this feast.
Exeunt omnes, [except] the two Dromios and [the] two brothers
[Antipholus].
DROMIO S.
[to Antipholus of Ephesus]
Master, shall I fetch your stuff from shipboard?
ANTIPHOLUS E.
Dromio, what stuff of mine hast thou embarked?
