Well, well, then, have the sacrificial vessel prepared for me so that I can pay all the vows I vowed for a safe return home when I was in the field. _Alc._ Ego istuc curabo. I will attend to that. _Iup._ _Jup._ Evocate huc Sosiam; gubernatorem, qui in mea navi fuit 950 Blepharonem arcessat, qui nobiscum prandeat is adeo[24] inpransus ludificabitur, cum ego Amphitruonem collo hinc obstricto traham. (_to maids in doorway_) Call Sosia out. I want him to invite Blepharo, the pilot aboard my ship, to lunch with us. (EXEUNT _maids_) (_aside_) As a matter of fact, friend Blepharo will be left unlunched and looking foolish when I turn Amphitryon out neck and crop. _Alc._ Mirum quid solus secum secreto ille agat. atque aperiuntur aedis. exit Sosia. (_aside_) I wonder what he’s talking about all to himself! Ah, there goes the door! Sosia’s coming out. III. 3. Scene 3. ENTER _Sosia_. _Sos._ Amphitruo, assum. si quid opus est, impera, imperium exequar. Present, sir. If anything’s needed, order away and I’ll fulfil orders. _Iup._ _Jup._ Sosia, optume advenis. Sosia, you are the very man I want. _Sos._ Iam pax est inter vos duos? nam quia vos tranquillos video, gaudeo et volup est mihi. atque ita servom par videtur frugi sese instituere proinde eri ut sint, ipse item sit; voltum e voltu comparet 960 tristis sit, si eri sint tristes; hilarus sit, si gaudeant sed age responde: iam vos rediistis in concordiam? Is there peace between you two now, sir? I tell you what, it’s a pleasure, it’s a joy, to see you looking peaceful. Yes, and to my way of thinking, an honest servant ought to stick to this principle: be like what his betters are, model his expression on theirs, be in the dumps if they are in the dumps, and jolly if they are happy. But come, sir, answer me. Have you made friends again now, eh? _Iup._ _Jup._ Derides, qui scis haec dudum me dixisse per iocum. (_reprovingly_) Mocker! What I said a while ago was all in fun, and you know it. _Sos._ An id ioco dixisti? equidem serio ac vero ratus. In fun, was it? Upon my soul, I thought it was the solemn truth. _Iup._ _Jup._ Habui expurigationem; facta pax est. I have explained: peace is made. _Sos._ Optume est. That’s grand, sir. _Iup._ _Jup._ Ego rem divinam intus faciam, vota quae sunt. I will make those offerings I vowed, inside. _Sos._ Censeo. Very good, sir. _Iup._ _Jup._ Tu gubernatorem a navi huc evoca verbis meis Blepharonem, qui re divina facta mecum prandeat. As for you, convey my invitation to Pilot Blepharo to come over from the ship and lunch with me after the sacrifice is done. _Sos._ Iam hic ero, cum illic censebis esse me.
