You yourself, this Sosia standing by as well.
AMPHITRYON
(to SOSIA.)
Have you heard me telling about this to-day?
SOSIA
Where should I have heard you?
AMPHITRYON
Ask her.
SOSIA
In my presence, indeed, it never took place, that I know of.
ALCMENA
It would be a wonder [*] if he didn’t contradict you.
AMPHITRYON
Sosia, come here and look at me.
SOSIA
(looks at him.)
I am looking at you.
AMPHITRYON
I wish you to tell the truth, and I don’t want you to humour me. Have you heard me this day sav to her these things which she affirms?
SOSIA
Prithee now, by my troth, are you, too, mad as well, when you ask me this, me, who, for my part, my own self now behold her in company with you for the first time?
AMPHITRYON
How now, madam? Do you hear him?
ALCMENA
I do, indeed, and telling an untruth.
AMPHITRYON
Do you believe neither him nor my own self, your husband?
ALCMENA
No; for this reason it is, because I most readily believe myself, and I am sure that these things took place just as I relate them.
AMPHITRYON
Do you say that I came yesterday?
ALCMENA
Do you deny that you went away from here to-day?
AMPHITRYON
I really do deny it, and I declare that I have now come home to you for the first time.
ALCMENA
Prithee, will you deny this too, that you to-day made me a present of a golden goblet, with which you said that you had been presented?
AMPHITRYON
By heavens, I neither gave it nor told you so: but I had so intended, and do so now, to present you with that goblet. But who told you this?
ALCMENA
Why, I heard it from yourself, and I received the goblet from your own hand.
(She moves as if going.)
AMPHITRYON
Stay, stay, I entreat you. Sosia, I marvel much how she knows that I was presented there with this golden goblet, unless you have lately met her and told her all this.
SOSIA
Upon my faith, I have never told her, nor have I ever beheld her except with yourself.
AMPHITRYON
What is the matter [*] with this person?
ALCMENA
Should you like the goblet to be produced?
AMPHITRYON
I should like it; to be produced.
ALCMENA
Be it so. Do you go, Thessala, and bring from indoors the goblet, with which my husband presented me today.
(THESSALA goes into the house, and AMPHITRYON and SOSIA walk on one side.)
AMPHITRYON
Sosia, do you step this way. Really, I do wonder extremely at this beyond the other wondrous matters, if she has got this goblet.
SOSIA
And do you believe it, when it’s carried in this casket, sealed with your own seal.
(He shows the casket.)
AMPHITRYON
Is the seal whole?
SOSIA
Examine it.
