Who I made lord of me and all I had,
A most outrageous fit of madness took him;
With him his bondman all as mad as he,--
By rushing in their houses, bearing thence
Once did I get him bound and sent him home,
That here and there his fury had committed.
He broke from those that had the guard of him;
Each one with ireful passion, with drawn swords,
Chased us away; till, raising of more aid,
Into this abbey.html">abbey.html">abbey, whither we pursued them:
And will not suffer us to fetch him out,
Therefore, most gracious duke, with thy command
Long since thy husband.html">husband serv'd me in my wars;
When thou didst make him master of thy bed,
Go, some of you, knock at the abbey-gate,
I will determine this before I stir.

SERVANT.
My master and his man.html">man are both broke loose,
Whose beard they have singed off with brands of fire;
Great pails of puddled mire to quench the hair:
His man with scissors nicks him like a fool:
Between them they will kill the conjurer.
ADRIANA.
And that is false thou dost report to us.
SERVANT.
I have not breath'd almost since I did see it.
To scorch your face, and to disfigure you:
[Cry within.]
Hark, hark, I hear him, mistress; fly, be gone!
DUKE.
Ah me, it is my husband! Witness you
Even now we hous'd him in the abbey here,
Justice, most gracious duke; oh, grant me justice!
