Has an ill omen delayed you, or does the weather keep you back, you who have not gone away to your troops, as you were lately speaking of?
AMPHITRYON
Lately? How long since was this lately?
ALCMENA
You are trying me; but very lately, just now.
AMPHITRYON
Prithee, how can that possibly be as you say?—but very lately, just now.
ALCMENA
Why, what do you imagine? That I, on the other hand, shall trifle with you who are playing with me,
in saying that you are now come for the first time, you who but just now went away from here?
AMPHITRYON
Surely she is talking deliriously.
SOSIA
Stop a little while, until she has slept out this one sleep.
AMPHITRYON
Is she not dreaming with her eyes open?
ALCMENA
Upon my faith, for my part I really am awake, and awake I am relating that which has happened; for, but lately, before daybreak, I saw both him (pointing at SOSIA) and yourself.
AMPHITRYON
In what place?
ALCMENA
Here, in the house where you yourself dwell.
AMPHITRYON
It never was the fact.
SOSIA
Will you not hold your peace? What if the vessel brought us here from the harbour in our sleep?
AMPHITRYON
Are you, too, going to back her as well?
SOSIA
(aside to AMPHITRYON.)
What do you wish to be done? Don’t you know, if you wish to oppose a raving Bacchanal, from a mad woman you’ll render her more mad—she’ll strike the oftener[*];
if you humour her, after one blow you may overcome her?
AMPHITRYON
But, by my troth, this thing is resolved upon, somehow to rate her who this day has been unwilling to greet me on my arrival home.
SOSIA
You’ll only be irritating hornets.
AMPHITRYON
You hold your tongue. Alcmena, I wish to ask you one thing.
ALCMENA
Ask me anything you please.
AMPHITRYON
Is it frenzy that has come upon you, or does pride overcome you?
ALCMENA
How comes it into your mind, my husband, to ask me that?
AMPHITRYON
Because formerly you used to greet me on my arrival, and to address me in such manner as those women who are virtuous are wont their husbands. On my arrival home I’ve found that you have got rid of that custom.
ALCMENA
By my faith, indeed, I assuredly did both greet you yesterday, upon your arrival,
at that very instant, and at the same time I enquired if you had continued in health all along, my husband, and I took your hand and gave you a kiss.
SOSIA
What, did you welcome him yesterday?
ALCMENA
And you too, as well, Sosia.
SOSIA
Amphitryon, I did hope that she was about to bring you forth a son; but she isn’t gone with child.
AMPHITRYON
What then?
