Amphitryon
AMPH。 Sosie� �
SOS。 She is jesting�此�I have it here�察�Monsieur�察�the feint is useless。
AMPH。 The seal is whole。
ALC。 Is it a vision�拭�There。 Will you think this proof strong enough�拭�
AMPH。 Ah Heaven� �O just Heaven� �
ALC。 Come�察�Amphitryon�察�you are joking in acting thus�此�you ought to
be ashamed of it。
AMPH。 Break this seal�察�quickly。
SOS。 ��Having opened the casket。�� Upon my word�察�the casket is empty。
It must have been taken out by witchcraft�察�or else it came by itself a guide�察�
to her whom it knew it was intended to adorn。
AMPH。 O Gods�察 �whose power governs all things�察 �what is this
adventure�拭�What can I augur from it that does not clutch at my heart�拭�
SOS。 If she speaks the truth�察 �we have the same lot�察 �and�察 �like me�察�
Monsieur�察�you are double。
AMPH。 Be silent。
ALC。 Why are you so surprised�拭�What causes all this confusion�拭�
AMPH。 O Heaven� �What strange perplexity� �I see incidents which
surpass Nature�察�and my honour fears an adventure which my mind does
not understand。
ALC。 Do you still wish to deny your hasty return�察�when you have this
sensible proof of it�拭�
AMPH。 No�察�but if it be possible�察�deign to tell me what passed at this
return。
ALC。 Since you ask an account of the matter�察�you still say it was not
you�拭�
AMPH。 Pardon me�察�but I have a certain reason which makes me ask
you to give us this account。
ALC。 Have the important cares which perhaps engross you made you
so quickly lose the remembrance of it�拭�
AMPH。 Perhaps�察�but�察�in short�察�you would please me by telling me the
whole story。
ALC。 The story is not long。 I advanced towards you full of a delighted
surprise�察�I embraced you tenderly�察�and showed my joy more than once。

Amphitryon
AMPH。 ��to himself。�� Ah� �I could have done without so sweet a
welcome。
ALC。 You first made me this valuable gift�察�which you destined for me
from the spoils of the conquered。 Your heart vehemently unfolded to me
all the violence of its love�察 �and the annoying duties which had kept it
enchained�察�the happiness of seeing me again�察�the torments of absence�察�all
the care which your impatience to return had given you�察�never has your
love�察�on similar occasions�察�seemed to me so tender and so passionate。
AMPH。 ��to himself。�� Can one be more cruelly tortured�拭�
ALC。 As you may well believe�察 �these transports and this tenderness
did not displease me�察�if I must confess it�察�Amphitryon�察�my heart found a
thousand charms in them。
AMPH。 What followed�察�pray�拭�
ALC。 We interrupted each other with a thousand questions concerning
each other。 The table was laid。 We supped together by ourselves�察 �and�察�
supper over�察�we went to bed。
AMPH。 Together�拭�
ALC。 Assuredly。 What a question�拭�
AMPH。 Ah�察 �this is the most cruel stroke of all�察 �my jealous passion
trembled to assure itself of this。
ALC。 Why do you blush so deeply at a word�拭�Have I done something
wrong in going to bed with you�拭�
AMPH。 No�察�to my great misery�察�it was not I�察�whoever says I was here
yesterday�察�tells�察�of all falsehoods�察�the most horrible。
ALC。 Amphitryon� �
AMPH。 Perfidious woman� �
ALC。 Ah� �What madness is this� �
AMPH。 No�察�no�察�no more sweetness�察�no more respect�察�this rebuff puts
an end to all my constancy�察�at this ghastly moment�察�my heart breathes only
fury and�察�vengeance。
ALC。 On whom then would you be avenged�拭�What want of faith in me
makes you treat me now as a criminal�拭�
AMPH。 I do not know�察�but it was not I�察�this despair makes me capable
of anything。

Amphitryon
ALC。 Away unworthy husband�察 �the deed speaks for itself�察 �the
imposture is frightful。 It is too great an insult to accuse me of infidelity。 If
these confused transports mean that you seek a pretext to break the nuptial
bonds which hold me enchained to you�察�all these pretences are superfluous�察�
for I am determined that this day all our ties shall be broken。
AMPH。 After the unworthy affront�察�which I now learn has been done
me�察�that is indeed what you must prepare yourself for�察�it is the least that
can be expected�察�and things may not perhaps remain there。 The dishonour
is sure�察�my misery is made plain to me�察�and my pride in vain would hide it
from me。 The details are still not clear�此�My anger is just and I claim to be
enlightened。 Your brother can positively avouch that I did not leave him
until this morning�此�I will go and seek him�察�in order that I may confound
you about the return falsely imputed to me。 Afterwards�察�we will penetrate
to the bottom of a mystery unheard of until now�察 �and�察 �in the fury of a
righteous anger�察�woe to him who has betrayed me� �
SOS。 Monsieur 。 。 。
AMPH。 Do not accompany me�察�but remain here for me。
CLE。 Must I 。 。 。�拭�
ALC。 I cannot hear anything�此�leave me alone�此�do not follow me。
SCENE III
CLEANTHIS�察�SOSIE
CLE。 Something must have turned his brain�察�but the brother will soon
finish this quarrel。
SOS。 This is a very sharp blow for my master�察 �his fate is cruel。 I
greatly fear something coming for myself。 I will go softly in enlightening
her。
CLE。 Let me see whether he will so much as speak to me� �I will not
reveal anything。
SOS。 These things are often annoying when one knows about them�此�I
hesitate to ask her。 Would it not be better not to risk anything�察 �and to
ignore what may have happened�拭�Yet�察�at all hazard�察�I must see。 I cannot
help myself。 Curiosity concerning things which one would rather not
know is a human weakness。 Heaven preserve you�察�Cleanthis� �

CLE。 Ah� �Ah� �You dare to come near me�察�you villain� �
SOS。 Good Heavens� �What is the matter with you�拭�You are always in a
temper�察�and become angry about nothing� �
CLE。 What do you call about nothing�拭�Speak out。
SOS。 I call about nothing what is called about nothing in verse as well
as in prose�察�and nothing�察�as you well know�察�means to say nothing�察�or very
little。
CLE。 I do not know what keeps me from scratching your eyes out�察�
infamous rascal�察�to teach you how far the anger of a woman can go。
SOS。 Hullo� �What do you mean by this furious rage�拭�
CLE。 Then you call that nothing�察 �perhaps�察 �which you have done to
me�拭�
SOS。 What was that�拭�
CLE。 So�拭�You feign to be innocent�拭 �Do you follow the example of
your master and say you did not return here�拭�
SOS。 No�察�I know the contrary too well�察�but I will be frank with you。
We had drunk some wretched wine�察 �which might have made me forget
what I did。
CLE。 You think�察�perhaps�察�to excuse yourself by this trick�察 � 。 。
SOS。 No�察�in truth you may believe me。 I was in such a condition that I
may have done things I should regret�察�I do not remember what they were。
CLE。 You do not even remember the manner in which you thought fit
to treat me when you came from the port�拭�
SOS。 Not at all。 You had better tell me all about it�察 �I am just and
sincere�察�and would condemn myself were I wrong。
CLE。Well�拭 �Amphitryon having warned me of your return�察 �I sat up
until you came�察�but I never saw such coldness�此�I had myself to remind you
that you had a wife�察 �and�察 �when I wanted to kiss you�察 �you�察 �turned away
your head�察�and gave me your ear。
SOS。 Good。
CLE。 What do you mean by good�拭�
SOS。 Good gracious� �You do not know why I talk like this�察�Cleanthis�此�
I had been eating garlic�察�and�察�like a well´bred man�察�just turned my breath
away from you。

Amphitryon
CLE。 I showed you every possible tenderness�察�but you were as deaf as
a post to everything I said�察�never a kind word passed your lips。
SOS。 Courage� �
CLE。 In short�察�my flame bad to burn alone�察�its chaste ardour did not
find anything in you but ice�察�you were the culprit in a return that might
have been so different�此�you even went so far as to refuse to take your place
in bed�察�which the laws of wedlock oblige you to occupy。
SOS。 What�拭�Did I not go to bed�拭�
CLE。 No�察�you coward。
SOS。 Is it possible�拭�
CLE。 It is but too true�察 �you rascal。 Of all affronts this affront is the
greatest�察�and�察�instead of your heart repairing its wrong this morning�察�you
left me with words full of undisguised contempt。
SOS。 Vivat Sosie� �
CLE。 Eh�察�what�拭�Has my complaint had this effect�拭�You laugh at your
fine goings on�拭�
SOS。 How pleased I am with myself� �
CLE。 Is this the way to express your grief at such an outrage�拭�
SOS。 I should never have believed I could be so prudent。
CLE。 Instead of condemning yourself for such a perfidious trick�察�you
rejoice at it to my face� �
SOS。 Good gracious� �Gently�察 �gently� �If I appear pleased��
