a, sternly_) This matter shall not escape
investigation, madam, I am resolved on that.

_Alc._

Edepol me libente facies.

Dear me, sir, do investigate, and welcome!

_Amph._

Quid ais? responde mihi.
quid si adduco tuom cognatum huc ab navi Naucratem,
qui mecum una vectust una navi, atque is si denegat 850
facta quae tu facta dicis, quid tibi aequom est fieri?
numquid causam dicis, quin te hoc multem matrimionio?

See here, answer me this--what if I bring your own relative,
Naucrates, over from the ship? He made the voyaage with me
on the same vessel--now if he denies that I did as you say
what do you deserve? Have you any reason to give that I
should not divorce you?

_Alc._

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.
[EXIT INTO HOUSE.
