All right, it’s just as I sealed it up.
SOSIA
Prithee, why don’t you order her to be purified [*] as a frantic person?
AMPHITRYON
By my troth, somehow there’s need for it, for, i’ faith, she’s certainly filled with sprites.
(ALCMENA.)
ALCMENA
What need is there of talking? See, here’s the goblet; here it is.
AMPHITRYON
Give it me.
ALCMENA
Come, now then, look here, if you please, you who deny what is fact, and whom I shall now clearly convict in this case.
Isn’t this the goblet with which you were presented there?
AMPHITRYON
Supreme Jupiter! what do I behold? Surely this is that goblet. Sosia, I’m utterly confounded.
SOSIA
Upon my faith, either this woman is a most consummate juggler, or the goblet must be in here (pointing to the casket.)
AMPHITRYON
Come, then, open this casket.
SOSIA
Why should I open it? It is securely sealed. The thing is cleverly contrived;
you have brought forth another Amphitryon, I have brought forth another Sosia; now if the goblet has brought forth a goblet, we have all produced our doubles.
AMPHITRYON
I’m determined to open and examine it.
SOSIA
Look, please, how the seal is, that you may not hereafter throw the blame on me.
AMPHITRYON
Now do open it. For she certainly is desirous to drive us mad with her talking.
ALCMENA
Whence then came this which was made a present to me, but from yourself?
AMPHITRYON
It’s necessary for me to enquire into this.
SOSIA
(opening the casket.)
Jupiter, O Jupiter!
AMPHITRYON
What is the matter with you?
SOSIA
There’s no goblet here in the casket.
AMPHITRYON
What do I hear.
SOSIA
That which is the truth.
AMPHITRYON
But at your peril now, if it does not make its appearance.
ALCMENA
(showing it.)
Why, it does make its appearance.
AMPHITRYON
Who then gave it you?
ALCMENA
The person that’s asking me the question.
SOSIA
(to AMPHITRYON.)
You are on the catch for me, inasmuch as you yourself have secretly run before me hither from the ship by another road, and have taken the goblet away from here and given it to her, and afterwards you have secretly sealed it up again.
AMPHITRYON
Ah me! and are you too helping her frenzy as well? (To ALCMENA) Do you say that we arrived here yesterday?
ALCMENA
I do say so, and on your arrival you instantly
greeted me, and I you, and I gave you a kiss.
