Why shouldn’t I ask that which I don’t know?
PALAESTRIO
Who am I, then, if you don’t know him?
PHILOCOMASIUM
You are an annoyance to me, whoever you are, both you and he.
SCELEDRUS
What? don’t you know us?
PHILOCOMASIUM
No, neither of you.
SCELEDRUS
I very much fear—
PALAESTRIO
What do you fear?
SCELEDRUS
Why, that we have lost ourselves somewhere or other; for she says that she knows neither you nor me.
PALAESTRIO
I wish, Sceledrus, to examine into this, whether we are ourselves, or else some other persons; lest secretly somehow some one of our neighbours may have transformed us without our knowing it.
SCELEDRUS
For my part, beyond a doubt, I am my own self.
PALAESTRIO
I’ faith, and so am I.
SCELEDRUS
My lady, you are seeking your destruction.[*] To you I am speaking; hark you, Philocomasium!
PHILOCOMASIUM
What craziness possesses you,
to be calling me wrongly by a crackjaw name[*]?
SCELEDRUS
How now! What are you called, then?
PHILOCOMASIUM
My name is Glycera.
SCELEDRUS
For a bad purpose, Philocomasium, you wish to have a wrong name[*]. Away with you, shocking woman; for most notably are you doing a wrong to my master.
PHILOCOMASIUM
I?
SCELEDRUS
Yes, you.
PHILOCOMASIUM
I, who arrived from Athens yesterday evening at Ephesus,
with my lover, a young man of Athens?
SCELEDRUS
Tell me,
what business have you here in Ephesus?
PHILOCOMASIUM
I had heard that my own twin-sister is here in Ephesus; I came here to look for her.
SCELEDRUS
You’re a good-for-nothing woman.
PHILOCOMASIUM
Yes, i’ faith, I am a very foolish one to be parleying with you fellows. I am going.
SCELEDRUS
I won’t let you go.
(Catches hold of her.)
PHILOCOMASIUM
Let me go.
SCELEDRUS
You are discovered in the fact.
I won’t let you go.
