What harm have I done you to be punished, sir?

Amph.

  Rogasne, improbe, etiam qui ludos facis me?

      Harm?  You reprobate!  Still making a joke of me, are you?

Sos.

  Merito maledicas mihi, si id ita factum est.[16]
  verum haud mentior, resque uti facta dico.

      You would have a right to call me names, if that was so.  But
      I am not lying, sir:  it happened just as I say.

Amph.

  Homo hic ebrius est, ut opinor.

      The man is drunk, I do believe.

Sos.

  Utinam ita essem.

      (heartily) Wish I was!

Amph.

  Optas quae facta. 575

      (dryly) Your wish is already gratified.

Sos.

  Egone?

      Is it?

Amph.

  Tu istic. ubi bibisti?

      It is.  Where did you get drink?

Sos.

  Nusquam equidem bibi.

      I did not, not I, nowhere.

Amph.

  Quid hoc sit 576
  hominis?

      (despairingly) What am I to make of the fellow?

Sos.

Equidem decies dixi:  domi ego sum, inquam, ecquid audis? 577 et apud te adsum Sosia idem. satin hoc plane, satin diserte, 578 ere, nunc videor tibi locutus esse?

I have told you how it is ten times over:  I am at home, I say.  Do you hear that?  Yes, and I am here with you, the same Sosia.  There sir, do you think that is putting it plainly enough, lucidly enough for you?

Amph.

  Vah, 579
  apage te a me.

      (shoving him aside) Bah!  Get away with you.

Sos.

  Quid est negoti? 580

      What is the matter?

Amph.

  Pestis te tenet.

      You have the plague.

Sos.

  Nam quor istuc
  dicis? equidem valeo el salvos
  sum recte, Amphitruo.

      Why, what do you say that for?  Really, sir, I feel well,
      I am all right.

Amph.

At te ego faciam 583 hodie proinde ac meritus es, ut minus valeas et miser sis, 584a salvos domum si rediero:  iam 584b sequere sis, erum qui ludificas 585a dictis delirantibus, 585b

But I shall soon see you get your
