With madness.
ALCMENA
Really I am in my senses, and I pray the Gods that in safety I may bring forth a son; but (to SOSIA) hap-ill shall you be having, if he does his duty: for those ominous words, omen-maker, you shall catch what befits you.
SOSIA
Why really an apple [*] ought to be given to the lady thus pregnant, that there may be something for her to gnaw if she should begin to faint.
AMPHITRYON
Did you see me here yesterday?
ALCMENA
I did, I say, if you wish it to be ten times repeated.
AMPHITRYON
In your sleep, perhaps?
ALCMENA
No—I, awake, saw you awake.
AMPHITRYON
Woe to me!
SOSIA
What’s the matter with you?
AMPHITRYON
My wife is mad.
SOSIA
She’s attacked with black bile; nothing so soon turns people mad.
AMPHITRYON
When, madam, did you first find yourself affected?
ALCMENA
Why really, upon my faith, I’m well, and in my senses.
AMPHITRYON
Why, then, do you say that you saw me yesterday, whereas we were brought into harbour but last night? There did I dine, and there did I rest the livelong night on board ship, nor have I set my foot even here into the house, since, with the army, I set out hence against the Teleboan foe, and since we conquered them.
ALCMENA
On the contrary, you dined with me, and you slept with me.
AMPHITRYON
How so?
ALCMENA
I’m telling the truth.
AMPHITRYON
On my honor, not in this matter, really; about other matters I don’t know.
ALCMENA
At the very break of dawn you went away to your troops.
AMPHITRYON
By what means could I?
SOSIA
She says right, according as she remembers; she’s telling you her dream. But, madam, after you arose, you ought to have sacrificed to Jove, the disposer of prodigies[*],
either with a salt cake or with frankincense.
ALCMENA
A mischief on your head!
SOSIA
That’s your own business, if you take due care.
ALCMENA
Now again this fellow is talking rudely to me, and that without punishment.
AMPHITRYON
(to SOSIA.)
You hold your tongue. (To ALCMENA.) Do you tell me now—did I go away hence from you at daybreak?
ALCMENA
Who then but your own self recounted to me how the battle went there?
AMPHITRYON
And do you know that as well?
ALCMENA
Why, I heard it from your own self, how you had taken a very large city, and how you yourself had slain king Pterelas.
AMPHITRYON
What, did I tell you this?
