Hath scar’d thy husband from the use of wits.

Luc.

She never reprehended him but mildly,

When he demean’d himself rough, rude, and wildly.

Why bear you these rebukes, and answer not?

Adr.

She did betray me to my own reproof.

Good people, enter and lay hold on him.

Abb.

No, not a creature enters in my house.

Adr.

Then let your servants bring my husband forth.

Abb.

Neither. He took this place for sanctuary,

And it shall privilege him from your hands

Till I have brought him to his wits again,

Or lose my labor in assaying it.

Adr.

I will attend my husband, be his nurse,

Diet his sickness, for it is my office,

And will have no attorney but myself,

And therefore let me have him home with me.

Abb.

Be patient, for I will not let him stir

Till I have us’d the approved means I have,

With wholesome syrups, drugs, and holy prayers,

To make of him a formal man again:

It is a branch and parcel of mine oath,

A charitable duty of my order,

Therefore depart, and leave him here with me.

Adr.
