What business have you to give a retreat here in your house to my husband?
PHILENIUM
Troth, he really will this day be the death of wretched me, through sheer disgust.
ARTEMONA
(to DEMAENETUS.)
Rise, wencher, be off home.
DEMAENETUS
Im undone.
ARTEMONA
Yes, you are[*]; dont, i faith, gainsay it, you most vile of all men. Why, the cuckoos still on his nest[*]. Rise, wencher, be off home.
DEMAENETUS
Woe to me!
ARTEMONA
You prophesy correctly. Rise, wencher, be off home.
DEMAENETUS
Step a little this way then.
ARTEMONA
Rise, wencher, be off home.
DEMAENETUS
Now, prithee, wife
ARTEMONA
Do you remember now that Im your wife? It was but just now, when you were heaping abuse upon me, that I wasnt your wife.
DEMAENETUS
Im utterly ruined.
ARTEMONA
Why, pray? Does the breath of your wife smell strong?
DEMAENETUS
It smells of myrrh.
ARTEMONA
Have you filched my mantle then to be giving to your harlot?
ARGYRIPPUS
By the powerswhat, did he promise that he would filch your mantle?
ARTEMONA
Wont you hold your tongue?
