E. Ant.

You minion, you, are these your customers?

Did this companion with the saffron face

Revel and feast it at my house to-day,

Whilst upon me the guilty doors were shut,

And I denied to enter in my house?

Adr.

O husband, God doth know you din’d at home,

Where would you had remain’d until this time,

Free from these slanders and this open shame.

E. Ant.

Din’d at home? Thou villain, what sayest thou?

E. Dro.

Sir, sooth to say, you did not dine at home.

E. Ant.

Were not my doors lock’d up, and I shut out?

E. Dro.

Perdie, your doors were lock’d, and you shut out.

E. Ant.

And did not she herself revile me there?

E. Dro.

Sans fable, she herself revil’d you there.

E. Ant.

Did not her kitchen maid rail, taunt, and scorn me?

E. Dro.

Certes she did, the kitchen vestal scorn’d you.

E. Ant.

And did not I in rage depart from thence?

E. Dro.

In verity you did, my bones bears witness,

That since have felt the vigor of his rage.

Adr.

Is’t good to soothe him in these contraries?
