Ang.

The money that you owe me for the chain.

E. Ant.

I owe you none, till I receive the chain.

Ang.

You know I gave it you half an hour since.

E. Ant.

You gave me none, you wrong me much to say so.

Ang.

You wrong me more, sir, in denying it.

Consider how it stands upon my credit.

[2. E.] Mer.

Well, officer, arrest him at my suit.

Off.

I do, and charge you in the Duke’s name to obey me.

Ang.

This touches me in reputation.

Either consent to pay this sum for me

Or I attach you by this officer.

E. Ant.

Consent to pay thee that I never had!

Arrest me, foolish fellow, if thou dar’st.

Ang.

Here is thy fee, arrest him, officer.

I would not spare my brother in this case,

If he should scorn me so apparently.

Off.

I do arrest you, sir: you hear the suit.

E. Ant.

I do obey thee, till I give thee bail.

But, sirrah, you shall buy this sport as dear

As all the metal in your shop will answer.

Ang.

Sir, sir, I shall have law in Ephesus,

To your notorious shame, I doubt it not.
