on as you. _Ang._ Then you will bring the chain to her yourself? 40 _Ant. E._ No; bear it with you, lest I come not time enough. _Ang._ Well, sir, I will. Have you the chain about you? _Ant. E._ An if I have not, sir, I hope you have; Or else you may return without your money. _Ang._ Nay, come, I pray you, sir, give me the chain: 45 Both wind and tide stays for this gentleman, And I, to blame, have held him here too long. _Ant. E._ Good Lord! you use this dalliance to excuse Your breach of promise to the Porpentine. I should have chid you for not bringing it, 50 But, like a shrew, you first begin to brawl. _Sec. Mer._ The hour steals on; I pray you, sir, dispatch. _Ang._ You hear how he importunes me;--the chain! _Ant. E._ Why, give it to my wife, and fetch your money. _Ang._ Come, come, you know I gave it you even now. 55 Either send the chain, or send me by some token. _Ant. E._ Fie, now you run this humour out of breath. Come, where's the chain? I pray you, let me see it. _Sec. Mer._ My business cannot brook this dalliance. Good sir, say whether you'll answer me or no: 60 If not, I'll leave him to the officer. _Ant. E._ I answer you! what should I answer you? _Ang._ The money that you owe me for the chain. _Ant. E._ I owe you none till I receive the chain. _Ang._ You know I gave it you half an hour since. 65 _Ant. E._ You gave me none: you wrong me much to say so. _Ang._ You wrong me more, sir, in denying it: Consider how it stands upon my credit. _Sec. Mer._ Well, officer, arrest him at my suit. _Off._ I do; and charge you in the duke's name to obey me. 70 _Ang._ This touches me in reputation. Either consent to pay this sum for me, Or I attach you by this officer. _Ant. E._ Consent to pay thee that I never had! Arrest me, foolish fellow, if thou darest. 75 _Ang._ Here is thy fee; arrest him, officer. I would not spare my brother in this case, If he should scorn me so apparently. _Off._ I do arrest you, sir: you hear the suit. _Ant. E._ I do obey thee till I give thee bail. 80 But, sirrah, you shall buy this sport as dear As all the metal in your shop will answer. _Ang._ Sir, sir, I shall have law in Ephesus, To your notorious shame; I doubt it not. _Enter _DROMIO of Syracuse_, from the bay._
