You sent me_ Capell. _You sent me, Sir,_ Steevens. _SCENE II. The house of _ANTIPHOLUS of Ephesus_._ _Enter ADRIANA and LUCIANA._ _Adr._ Ah, Luciana, did he tempt thee so? Mightst thou perceive austerely in his eye That he did plead in earnest? yea or no? Look'd he or red or pale, or sad or merrily? What observation madest thou, in this case, 5 Of his heart's meteors tilting in his face? _Luc._ First he denied you had in him no right. _Adr._ He meant he did me none; the more my spite. _Luc._ Then swore he that he was a stranger here. _Adr._ And true he swore, though yet forsworn he were. 10 _Luc._ Then pleaded I for you. _Adr._ And what said he? _Luc._ That love I begg'd for you he begg'd of me. _Adr._ With what persuasion did he tempt thy love? _Luc._ With words that in an honest suit might move.

S._ No, he's in Tartar limbo, worse than hell. A devil in an everlasting garment hath him; One whose hard heart is button'd up with steel; A fiend, a fury, pitiless and rough; 35 A wolf, nay, worse; a fellow all in buff; A back-friend, a shoulder-clapper, one that countermands The passages of alleys, cr
