V.

ANTIPHOLUS of Syracuse accosted by ADRIANA and LUCIANA.

"AD. Ay, ay, Antipholus, look strange and frown. Some other mistress hath thy sweet aspects:

I am not Adriana, nor thy wife.

ANT. Plead you to me, fair dame? I know you not. Luc. Fie, brother! how the world is changed with you! When were you wont to use my sister thus?

AD. Come, I will fasten on this sleeve of thine.

Thou art an elm, my husband; I a vine.

ANT. To me she speaks; she moves me for her theme. What, was I married to her in my dream? Or sleep I now, and think I hear all this? What error drives our eyes and ears amiss? Until I know this sure uncertainty,

I'll entertain the offer'd fallacy.

DRO. This is the fairy land:-O spite of spites!—
We talk with goblins, owls, and elvish sprites:
If we obey them not, this will ensue—

They'll suck our breath, or pinch us black and blue.

AD. Come, sir, to dinner; Dromio, keep the gate."

ACT II. S. 2.
