Assuredly, at your peril have you come here this day, with your trumped-up lies, your patched-up knaveries, you essence of effrontery.
SOSIA
Why no, it’s rather with garments patched-up that I’m arrived here, not with knaveries.
MERCURY
Why, you are lying again; you come with your feet, surely, and not with your garments.
SOSIA
Yes, certainly.
MERCURY
Then certainly take that for your lie.
(He strikes him.)
SOSIA
By my troth, I certainly don’t wish for it of course.
MERCURY
But by my faith, you certainly shall have it of course, whether you wish or not: for, in fact, this is certainly my determination, and it is not at your own option.
(He strikes him.)
SOSIA
Mercy, I entreat of you.
MERCURY
Do you dare to say that you are Sosia, when I myself am he?
(Strikes him.)
SOSIA
(crying at the top of his voice.)
I’m being murdered.
MERCURY
Why, you are crying out for a trifle as yet, compared with what it will be.
Whose are you now?
SOSIA
Your own; for with your fists you have laid hands on me[*]. Help, help, citizens of Thebes.
(MERCURY striking him.)
MERCURY
What, still bawling, you scoundrel? Speak—what have you come for?
SOSIA
For there to be somebody for you to belabour with your fists.
MERCURY
Whose are you?
SOSIA
Amphitryon’s Sosia, I tell you.
MERCURY
For this reason then you shall be beaten the more, because you prate thus idly; I am Sosia, not you.
SOSIA
(aside.)
I wish the Gods would have it so, that you were he in preference, and that I were thrashing you.
MERCURY
What, muttering still?
(Strikes him.)
SOSIA
I’ll hold my tongue then.
MERCURY
Who is your master?
SOSIA
Whoever you like.
MERCURY
How then? What’s your name now?
SOSIA
Nothing but what you shall command.
MERCURY
You said that you were Amphitryon’s Sosia.
SOSIA
I made a mistake; but this I meant to say, that I was Amphitryon’s associate [*].
MERCURY
Why, I was sure that we had no servant called Sosia except myself. Your senses are forsaking you.
SOSIA
I wish that those fists of yours had done so.
MERCURY
I am that Sosia, whom you were just now telling me that you are.
