My lady, you are seeking your destruction.[*] To you I am speaking; hark you, Philocomasium!
PHILOCOMASIUM
What craziness possesses you,
to be calling me wrongly by a crackjaw name[*]?
SCELEDRUS
How now! What are you called, then?
PHILOCOMASIUM
My name is Glycera.
SCELEDRUS
For a bad purpose, Philocomasium, you wish to have a wrong name[*]. Away with you, shocking woman; for most notably are you doing a wrong to my master.
PHILOCOMASIUM
I?
SCELEDRUS
Yes, you.
PHILOCOMASIUM
I, who arrived from Athens yesterday evening at Ephesus,
with my lover, a young man of Athens?
SCELEDRUS
Tell me,
what business have you here in Ephesus?
PHILOCOMASIUM
I had heard that my own twin-sister is here in Ephesus; I came here to look for her.
SCELEDRUS
You’re a good-for-nothing woman.
PHILOCOMASIUM
Yes, i’ faith, I am a very foolish one to be parleying with you fellows. I am going.
SCELEDRUS
I won’t let you go.
(Catches hold of her.)
PHILOCOMASIUM
Let me go.
SCELEDRUS
You are discovered in the fact.
I won’t let you go.
PHILOCOMASIUM
But my hands shall just now sound again against your cheek, if you don’t let me go.
SCELEDRUS
(to PALAESTRIO.)
Why the plague are you standing idle? Why don’t you hold her on the other side?
PALAESTRIO
I don’t choose to bring the business down upon my back. How do I know but that this is not Philocomasium, but is some other female that resembles her?
PHILOCOMASIUM
Will you let me go, or will you not let me go?
SCELEDRUS
No; by force and against your will, in spite of you,
I’ll drag you home, unless you’ll go of your own accord.
PHILOCOMASIUM
(pointing to the house of PERIPLECOMENUS.)
This is my lodging here abroad[*], at Athens is my home.
SCELEDRUS
But your master lives here.

(pointing to the CAPTAIN’S house.)
PHILOCOMASIUM
I have nothing to do with that house, nor do I know or understand yourselves what persons you are.
SCELEDRUS
Proceed against me[*] at law. I’ll never let you go, until you give me your solemn word that you will go indoors here (pointing to the CAPTAIN’S house) if I let go of you.
PHILOCOMASIUM
You are compelling me by force, whoever you are.
I give you my word, that if you let go of me, I will go into that house where you bid me.
SCELEDRUS
Then, now I let go of you.
PHILOCOMASIUM
And, as I’m let go, I’ll go in here.
(Runs into the house of PERIPLECOMENUS.)
SCELEDRUS
She has acted with a woman’s honour.
PALAESTRIO
Sceledrus, you’ve lost the prey through your hands; as sure as possible she is the lady of our master. Do you intend to act in this matter with spirit?
SCELEDRUS
How am I to act?
