I say it is not a bit more wonderful to you than to me. So help me heaven, I didn’t believe my own self, Sosia, at first, not till that other Sosia, myself, made me believe him. He reeled off every thing just as it happened while we were on the field there with the enemy; and besides, he had stolen my looks along with my name. One drop of milk is no more like another than that I is like me. Why, when you sent me ahead home from the harbour before dawn a while ago-- _Amph._ Quid igitur? What then? _Sos._ Prius multo ante aedis stabam quam illo adveneram. I was standing in front of the house long before I got there. _Amph._ Quas, malum, nugas? satin tu sanus es? What confounded rubbish! Are you actually in your senses? _Sos._ Sic sum ut vides. You can see for yourself I am. _Amph._ Huic homini nescio quid est mali mala obiectum manu, postquam a me abiit. The fellow is bewitched somehow: the evil hand has been laid on him since he left me. _Sos._ Fateor, nam sum obtusus pugnis pessume. Right you are! Evil? The way I got beaten to jelly was damned evil. _Amph._ Quis te verberavit? Who was it beat you? _Sos._ Egomet memet, qui nunc sum domi. I beat myself--the I that is at home now. _Amph._ Cave quicquam, nisi quod rogabo te, mihi responderis. omnium primum iste qui sit Sosia, hoc dici volo. Mind now, not a word but what I ask you. In the first place, I wish to be informed who that Sosia is. _Sos._ Tuos est servos. Your own slave. _Amph._ Mihi quidem uno te plus etiam est quam volo, 610 neque postquam sum natus habui nisi te servom Sosiam. As a matter of fact, I have one too many in you already, and never in my life did I own a slave named Sosia except yourself. _Sos._ At ego nunc, Amphitruo, dico: Sosiam servom tuom praeter me alterum, inquam, adveniens faciam ut offendas domi, Davo prognatum patre eodem quo ego sum, forma, aetate item qua ego sum. quid opust verbis? geminus Sosia hic factust tibi. Well sir, you mark my words now: I warrant you you will come upon a second servant Sosia of yours besides me when you reach home, yes sir, one whose father was Davus the same as mine, and who is just like me and just my age, too. Enough said, sir. Sosia has twinned here for you. _Amph._ Nimia memoras mira. sed vidistin uxorem meam? (_impressed_) Strange, very strange indeed! But did you see my wife? _Sos._ Quin intro ire in aedis numquam licitum est. Why, sir, never a foot was I allowed to put in the house. _Amph._ Quis te prohibuit? Who hindered you? _Sos._ Sosia ille, quem iam dudum dico, is qui me contudit. That Sosia I have been telling of all along, the one that smashed me up. _Amph._ Quis istic Sosia est?
