Si deliqui, nulla causa est.

None, if I have done wrong.

Amph.

Convenit. tu, Sosia,
duc hos intro. ego huc ab navi mecum adducam Naucratem.

Agreed! (turning to Sosia) Sosia, take these fellows in.
(pointing to slaves with luggage) I will bring Naucrates
here from the ship. (Sosia sends slaves inside)

          
                                                                        [EXIT Amphitryon.

Sos.

Nunc quidem praeter nos nemo est. dic mihi verum serio: 
ecquis alius Sosia intust, qui mei similis siet?

(to Alcmena, confidentially) Now then, ma’am, no one’s here besides us. (elaborately makes sure of it) Do be serious and tell me the truth—­is there another Sosia inside who’s just like me?

Alc.

  Abin hinc a me dignus domino servos?

      (indignantly) Will you leave my sight, sir—­you slave
      worthy of your master!

Sos.

  Abeo, si iubes.

      Sure, ma’am, if you say so. [EXIT INTO HOUSE.

Alc.

Nimis ecastor facinus mirum est, qui illi conlibitum siet
meo viro sic me insimulare falso facinus tam malum.
quicquid est, iam ex Naucrate cognato id cognoscam meo. 860

Merciful heavens!  It’s simply unintelligible, how my husband
could think fit to accuse me of such atrocious conduct
without the slightest cause.  Well, whatever it is, I shall
soon know about it from Naucrates, one of my own family.

ACTVS III

ACT III

(A couple of hours have elapsed)

    ENTER Jupiter.

Iup.
    Jup.

Ego sum ille Amphitruo, cui est servos Sosia. idem Mercurius qui fit, quando commodumst, in superiore qui habito cenaculo, qui interdum fio Iuppiter, quando lubet; huc autem quom extemplo adventum adporto, ilico Amphitruo fio et vestitum immuto meum.

(in jocular, self-satisfied tone) I am that Amphitryon who has a servant Sosia, which same turns into Mercury on occasion, I being the Amphitryon who lodge in the upper attic (pointing heavenward) and become Jupiter at times, when the humour seizes me.  As soon as I wend my way into these parts, however, on the spot I am Amphitryon and change my clothes.

nunc huc honoris vostri venio gratia, ne hanc incohatam transigam comoediam; simul Alcumenae, quam vir insontem probri Amphitruo accusat, veni ut auxilium feram:  870 nam mea sit culpa, quod egomet contraxerim, si id Alcumenae innocenti expetat.
