Titus Maccius Plautus — Amphitryo (1519)

[Margin: Or even justly]
[Margin: You will have done whatever you wish so that it may be in your power; the same person, some receive this very poorly]
[Margin: Here is a logical fallacy, when an impossible thing is said to happen at the same time in different places]
[Margin: He speaks through the fraudulent Sosia; and he speaks by way of examples, which to others here is seen]
[Margin: Apage for 'apage te' (away with you); 'babae' (oho); it was 'amove te' (move yourself); believe]
[Gloss: To Amphitryo; very poorly]
A. Follow me. So. Follow yourself. Am. I consider you a most wicked fellow.
[Gloss: I judge you of bad faith; you will say; it is true]
So. For what reason? You tell me.
Am. Because that which neither is, nor was, nor will be—
[Gloss: Credulity]
So. Oho! Now you are acting so that no trust is placed in you.
[Gloss: Amphitryo; doing; swearing; shameful; Sosia]
Am. What is this? How? By Hercules, I shall indeed now cut out that wicked tongue of yours.
[Gloss: I will cut off; institute; wants; becomes]
So. I am yours; proceed as it may be convenient.
[Gloss: It pleases; whatever; in that way]
Whatever you wish to do, you still cannot in any way deter me from speaking of these things as they have happened.
[Gloss: To prohibit; very poorly Sosia]
Am. Most wicked one, do you dare to tell me that you are at home now, you who are present here?
[Gloss: To say; mine; it is near]
So. I speak the truth. Am. The evil that the gods will give you, and which I will give you today—
[Gloss: Me]
So. That is in your hand, for I am yours. Am. Do you, a slave of mine, dare to mock your master?
[Gloss: His; to mock; certainly]
Do you dare to say that which no one has seen before this, nor can it happen, that the same man is in two places at the same time?
[Gloss: Before that time; it is impossible; at the same time]
So. Assuredly, as I speak, the thing is so.
[Gloss: Often; is]
Am. May Jupiter destroy you. So. What evil have I deserved, master, from your affair?
[Gloss: That which you wish, Amphitryo]
Am. Do you ask even impudently, you who mock me? So. You may say I deserve evil, if it has not happened as I say, but I do not lie.
[Gloss: Wicked Sosia; you have a laughingstock]
The matter is as it occurred. Am. This man is drunk, as I suspect.
[Gloss: As if I mock you; not]
So. I wish that I were so. Am. You desire what has happened. So. I? Am. You, you there, where—
[Gloss: And how; Sosia]
So. I have not drunk anywhere, indeed. Am. What kind of man is this?
[Gloss: You have drunk; drunk; was; if you drink; you have drunk]
So. I have said ten times, indeed—
[Gloss: About something; what man]
[Gloss: Often]
I am at home, I say, do you hear? I am present here with you, the same Sosia.
[Gloss: Because of the wonder; I say or something; you may be near; is]
Do I seem to you now, master, to have spoken clearly enough, plainly enough?
[Gloss: Well enough; to stand; clearly enough, O Amphitryo]
Am. Bah! So. What is it? Am. Away with you from me. So. What is it?
[Gloss: Amphitryo]
