Mark how he trembles in his ecstasy!
PINCH
Give me your hand and let me feel your pulse.
OF EPHESUS

I charge thee, Satan, housed within this man,
To yield possession to my holy prayers
And to thy state of darkness hie thee straight:
I conjure thee by all the saints in heaven!
OF EPHESUS
Peace, doting wizard, peace! I am not mad.
ADRIANA
O, that thou wert not, poor distressed soul!
OF EPHESUS
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?

Where would you had remain'd until this time,
Free from these slanders and this open shame!
OF EPHESUS
Dined at home! Thou villain, what sayest thou?

Sir, sooth to say, you did not dine at home.
OF EPHESUS
Were not my doors lock'd up and I shut out?
DROMIO OF EPHESUS
Perdie, your doors were lock'd and you shut out.
OF EPHESUS
And did not she herself revile me there?
