(_angrily_) Indeed I have not, and I pray heaven I may safely bear a son. But you, sir, shall have an ample supply of aches and pains, if your master here does his duty! You shall be well rewarded for that omen, Sir Omener. _Sos._ Enim vero praegnati oportet et malum et malum dari, ut quod obrodat sit, animo si male esse occeperit. Really now, ma’am, it’s a lady in your condition ought to have aches and pains, yes, and an apple supply, too, so as to have something to chew on in case she gets to feeling seedy. _Amph._ Tu me heri hic vidisti? You saw me here yesterday? _Alc._ Ego, inquam, si vis decies dicere. Yes, I,--if you must be told ten times over. _Amph._ In somnis fortasse? In your sleep, perhaps? _Alc._ Immo vigilans vigilantem. No, no, awake,--and you were awake, too. _Amph._ Ei misero mihi. Oh, this is terrible, terrible! _Sos._ Quid tibi est? What ails you? _Amph._ Delirat uxor. My wife is raving! _Sos._ Atra bili percita est. nulla res tam delirantis homines concinnat cito. Bilious attack, sir, black bile. There’s nothing sets ’em raving so soon. _Amph._ Ubi primum tibi sensisti, mulier, impliciscier? When did you first feel it coming on, woman? _Alc._ Equidem ecastor sana et salva sum. Goodness me! I’m perfectly sane and sound. _Amph._ Quor igitur praedicas, 730 te heri me vidisse, qui hac noctu in portum advecti sumus? ibi cenavi atque ibi quievi in navi noctem perpetem, neque meum pedem huc intuli etiam in aedis, ut cum exercitu hinc profectus sum ad Teloboas hostis eosque ut vicimus. Then why are you declaring you saw me yesterday, when we reached port last night? I took dinner there and spent the whole livelong night there on board my ship, and I have not set foot in this house from the time I and my troops started on our campaign against the Teloboians and conquered them. _Alc._ Immo mecum cenavisti et mecum cubuisti. The idea! You had dinner with me and went to bed with me. _Amph._ Quid est? What? _Alc._ Vera dico. I tell you the truth, sir. _Amph._ Non de hac quidem hercle re; de aliis nescio. Good God! Not in that, anyhow: about other matters I can’t say. _Alc._ Primulo diluculo abiisti ad legiones. And at the very break of day you went away to the army. _Amph._ Quo modo? How’s that? _Sos._ Recte dicit, ut commeminit: somnium narrat tibi. sed, mulier, postquam experrecta es, te prodigiali Iovi aut mola salsa hodie aut ture comprecatam oportuit. 740
