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 deserts: you will not feel so well, you will be wretched enough, once I get back home all right. Be so good as to follow me, you that make a butt of your master with your idiotic drivel. qui quoniam erus quod imperavit neglexisti persequi, nunc venis etiam ultro inrisum dominum: quae neque fieri possunt neque fando umquam accepit quisquam profers, carnifex; quoius ego hodie in tergum faxo ista expetant mendacia.

Curse it! How in the world is it possible--argue it out with me--for you to be here now, and at home, too? Tell me that, will you? _Sos._ Sum profecto et hic et illic. hoc cuivis mirari licet, neque tibi istuc mirum[17] magis videtur quam mihi. I am here and I am there, I positively am. I don’t care who wonders at it: it is no more wonderful to you than it is to me, sir. _Amph._ Quo modo? How is that? _Sos._ Nihilo, inquam, mirum magis tibi istuc quam mihi; neque, ita me di ament, credebam primo mihimet Sosiae, donec Sosia illic egomet fecit sibi uti crederem. ordine omne, uti quicque actum est, dum apud hostis sedimus, edissertavit. tum formam una abstulit cum nomine. 600 neque lac lactis magis est simile quam ille ego similest mei. nam ut dudum ante lucem a portu me praemisisti domum--
