Just look on your left hand; who is that lady?
SCELEDRUS(looking.)
O ye immortal Gods, it really is the lady of my master!
PALAESTRIO
I’ faith, so she seems to me as well. Do then, now, since so you would have it—
SCELEDRUS
Do what?
PALAESTRIO
Die this very instant.
PHILOCOMASIUM
(advancing.)
Where is this faithful servant, who has falsely accused me in my innocence
of this most heinous crime?
PALAESTRIO
See, here he is; ’tis he that told it me,—assuredly ’twas he.
PHILOCOMASIUM
Villain, did you say that you had seen me next door here kissing?
PALAESTRIO
Besides, he said it was with some strange young man.
SCELEDRUS
I’ faith, I did. say so, undoubtedly.
PHILOCOMASIUM
You, saw me?
SCELEDRUS
Yes, with these self-same eyes.
PHILOCOMASIUM
I fancy you will lose those eyes, which see more than what they really do see.
SCELEDRUS
By my faith, I shall never be intimidated
from having seen what I really did see.
PHILOCOMASIUM
In my foolishness I am delaying too long in parleying with this madman, whom, by the powers, I’ll punish with death.
SCELEDRUS
Forbear to threaten me: I know that the cross will prove my tomb; there are laid my forefathers, my father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather. ’Tis not in possibility, however, for these eyes of mine to be dug out[*] by your threats.
But I want a few words with you; prithee, Palaestrio, whence came she hither?
PALAESTRIO
Whence but from our house?
SCELEDRUS
From our house?
PALAESTRIO
Do you credit me[*]?
SCELEDRUS
I do credit you: but ’tis a thing to be wondered at, how she has been able to return from that house to ours. For, beyond a doubt, we have neither a terrace to our house, nor any garden, nor any window but what is latticed[*]. (To PHILOCOMASIUM.) But, undoubtedly, I did see you in the house next door.
PALAESTRIO
Do you persist, you rascal, in pretending to accuse her?
PHILOCOMASIUM
In good sooth, then, the dream has not turned out untrue, that I dreamed last night.
PALAESTRIO
What did you dream?
PHILOCOMASIUM
I’ll tell you; but, I pray you, give attention. Last night, in my sleep, my twin-sister seemed to have come from Athens to Ephesus with a certain person, her lover.
Both of them seemed to me to be having their lodgings here next door.
PALAESTRIO
(to the AUDIENCE.)
The dream that’s being related is Palaestrio’s—pray, go on.
PHILOCOMASIUM
I seemed to be delighted because my sister had come, and on her account I seemed to be incurring a most grievous suspicion. For, in my sleep, my own servant seemed to accuse me, as you are now doing,
