Well, your name, however, is Menaechmus, that I do know.MENAECHMUS SOSICLES You speak like a sane person when you call me by my name. But where have you known me?CYLINDRUS Where have I known you,you who have Erotium, this mistress of mine (pointing to the house), for your lady?MENAECHMUS SOSICLES By my troth, I have not, nor do I know yourself what person you are.CYLINDRUS Not know who I am, who have many a time filled the cups for your own self at our house, when you’ve been drinking?MESSENIO Woe to me, that I’ve got nothing with which to break this fellow’s head.MENAECHMUS SOSICLES Are you in the habit of filling the cups for me, who, before this day, have never beheld Epidamnus, nor been there?CYLINDRUS Do you deny it?MENAECHMUS SOSICLES Upon my honor,, I decidedly do deny it.CYLINDRUS Don’t you live in that house?(Pointing to the house of MENAECHMUS of Epidamnus.)MENAECHMUS SOSICLES May the Gods send to perdition those that live there.CYLINDRUS Surely, this fellow’s mad, who is thus uttering curses against his own self.Do you hear, Menaechmus?MENAECHMUS SOSICLES What do you want? CYLINDRUS If you take my advice, that didrachm, which you just now promised to give me—you would order, if you were wise, a pig to be procured with it for yourself. For, i’ faith, you really for sure are not in your senses, Menaechmus, who are now uttering curses against your own self.MENAECHMUS SOSICLES Alas! By my faith, a very silly fellow, and an annoyance to me.CYLINDRUS(to MESSENIO.) He’s in the habit of often joking with me in this fashion. How very droll he is, when his wife isn’t present. How say you—?MENAECHMUS SOSICLES What do you mean, you rascal?CYLINDRUS(pointing to the basket.) Has this that you see been provided in sufficient quantity for three persons, or am I to provide still more for yourself and the Parasite and the lady?MENAECHMUS SOSICLES What ladies—what Parasites are you talking about?MESSENIO What, you villain, urges you to be an annoyance to him?CYLINDRUS Pray what business have you with me? I don’t know you; I’m talking to this person, whom I do know.MENAECHMUS SOSICLES By my troth, you are not a person in his right senses, that I know for sure.CYLINDRUS I’ll have these things cooked directly; there shall be no delay. Don’t you be going after this anywhere at a distance from the house. Do you want anything?MENAECHMUS SOSICLES You to go to utter and extreme perdition.CYLINDRUS I’ faith, ’twere better for you to go in-doors at once and take your place,
