ADRIANA
What wilt thou do, thou peevish officer?
Hast thou delight to see a wretched man
Do outrage and displeasure to himself?
Officer
He is my prisoner: if I let him go,
The debt he owes will be required of me.
ADRIANA
I will discharge thee ere I go from thee:
Bear me forthwith unto his creditor,
And, knowing how the debt grows, I will pay it.
Good master doctor, see him safe convey'd
Home to my house. O most unhappy day!
OF EPHESUS
O most unhappy strumpet!
DROMIO OF EPHESUS
Master, I am here entered in bond for you.
OF EPHESUS
Out on thee, villain! wherefore dost thou mad me?
DROMIO OF EPHESUS
Will you be bound for nothing? be mad, good master:
cry 'The devil!'
LUCIANA
God help, poor souls, how idly do they talk!
ADRIANA
Go bear him hence. Sister, go you with me.
Exeunt all but Adriana, Luciana, Officer and Courtezan
Say now, whose suit is he arrested at?
Officer
One Angelo, a goldsmith: do you know him?
ADRIANA
I know the man. What is the sum he owes?
Officer
Two hundred ducats.
ADRIANA
Say, how grows it due?
