feigned audacity。 Yes�察�yes�察�I will not allow him to think me a goose。 If I 

am not bold�察�I will try to appear so。 Let me seek courage by reason�察�he is 

alone�察�even as I am�察�I am strong�察�I have a good master�察�and there is our 

house。 

     MERC。 Who goes there�拭�

     SOS。 I。

    SOS。 I。 Courage�察�Sosie� �

    MERC。 Tell me�察�what is your condition�拭�

    SOS。 To be a man�察�and to speak。 

    MERC。 Are you a master�察�or a servant�拭�

    SOS。 As fancy takes me。 

    MERC。 Where are you going�拭�

    SOS。 Where I intend to go。 

    MERC。 Ah� �This annoys me。 

    SOS。 I am ravished to hear it。 

    MERC。  By  hook or   by  crook�察  �I   must   definitely  know  all   about   you�察�

you wretch�察�what you do�察�whence you come before the day breaks�察�where 

you are going�察�and who you may be。 

    SOS。 I do good and ill by turns�察�I come from there�察�I go there�察�I belong 

to my master。 

    MERC。       You   show   wit�察 �and   I  see  you  think   to  play  the  man   of 

importance for my edification。 I feel inclined to make your acquaintance 

by slapping your face。 

    SOS。 Mine�拭�

    MERC。 Yours�察�and there you get it�察�sharp。 ��Mercury gives him a slap。�� 

    SOS。 Ah� �Ah� �This is a fine game� �

    MERC。 No�察�it is only a laughing matter�察�a reply to your quips。 

    SOS。 Good heavens� �Friend�察�how you swing out your arm without any 

one saying anything to you。 

    MERC。 These are my lightest clouts�察�little ordinary smacks。 

    SOS。 If I were as hasty as you�察�we should have a fine ado。 

    MERC。 All this is nothing as yet�此�it is merely to fill up time�察�we shall 

soon see something else�察�but let us continue our conversation。 

    SOS。 I give up the game。 ��He turns to go away。�� 

    MERC。 Where are you going�拭�

    SOS。 What does it matter to you�拭�

    MERC。 I want to know where you are going。 

    SOS。 I am going to open that door。 Why do you detain me�拭�

    MERC。 If you dare to go near it�察�I shall rain down a storm of blows on 

you。

    SOS。 What�拭�You wish to hinder me from entering our own house by 

threats�拭�

    MERC。 What do you say�察�your house�拭�

    SOS。 Yes�察�our house。 

    MERC。 O�察�the scoundrel� �You speak of that house�拭�

    SOS。 Certainly。 Is not Amphitryon the master of it�拭�

    MERC。 Well� �What does that prove�拭�

    SOS。 I am his valet。 

    MERC。 You�拭�

    SOS。 I。 

    MERC。 His valet�拭�

    SOS。 Unquestionably。 

    MERC。 Valet of Amphitryon�拭�

    SOS。 Of Amphitryon himself。 

    MERC。 Your name is�拭�

    SOS。 Sosie。 

    MERC。 Eh�拭�What�拭�

    SOS。 Sosie。 

    MERC。 Listen�此�do you realise that my fist can knock you spinning�拭�

    SOS。 Why�拭�What fury has seized you now�拭�

    MERC。 Tell me�察�who made you so rash as to take the name of Sosie�拭�

    SOS。 I do not take it�察�I have always borne it。 

    MERC。   O   what   a   monstrous   lie�   �What   confounded   impudence� �You 

dare to maintain that Sosie is your name�拭�

    SOS。 Certainly�察�I maintain it�察�for the good reason that the Gods have 

so ordered it by their supreme power。 It is not in my power to say no�察�and 

to be any one else than myself。 

    ��Mercury     beats  him。��  MERC。     A   thousand   stripes  ought  to  be  the 

reward of such audacity。 

    SOS。 Justice�察�citizens� �Help� �I beseech you。 

    MERC。 So�察�you gallows´bird�察�you yell out�拭�

    SOS。 You beat me down with a thousand blows�察�and yet do not wish 

me to cry out�拭�

    MERC。 It is thus that my arm 。 。 。

     SOS。 The action is unworthy。 You gloat over the advantage which my 

want of courage gives you over me�察�that is not fair treatment。 It is mere 

bullying to wish to profit by the poltroonery of those whom one makes to 

feel the weight of one's arm。 To thrash a man who does not retaliate is not 

the   act   of   a   generous   soul�察  �and   to   show   courage   against   men   who   have 

none merits condemnation。 

     MERC。 Well� �Are you still Sosie�拭�What say you�拭�

     SOS。   Your   blows   have   not   made   any   metamorphosis   in   me�察  �all   the 

change there is is that in the matter I am Sosie thrashed。 

     MERC。 Still�拭�A hundred fresh blows for this fresh impudence。 

     SOS。 Have mercy�察�a truce to your blows。 

     MERC。 Then a truce to your insolence。 

     SOS。     Anything    that  pleases    you�察  �I  will  keep  silence。   The   dispute 

between us is too unequal。 

     MERC。 Are you still Sosie�拭�Say�察�villain� �

     SOS。   Alas�   �I   am   what   you   wish�察  �dispose   of   my   lot   exactly   as   you 

please�此�your arm 'has made you the master of it。 

     MERC。 I think you said your name was Sosie�拭�

     SOS。 True�察�until now I thought the matter was clear�察�but your rod has 

made me see that I was mistaken in this affair。 

     MERC。   I   am   Sosie�此  �all   Thebes   avows   it。 Amphitryon   has   never   had 

other than me。 

     SOS。 You�察�Sosie�拭�

     MERC。 Yes�察�Sosie�察�and if any one trifles with me�察�he must take care of 

himself。 

     SOS。 Heavens� �Must I thus renounce myself�察�and see my name stolen 

by an impostor。 How lucky I am a poltroon� �Or�察�by the death 。 。 。� �

     MERC。 What are you mumbling between your teeth�拭�

     SOS。 Nothing。 But�察�in the name of the Gods�察�give me leave to speak 

one moment with you。 

     MERC。 Speak。 

     SOS。 But promise me�察�I beseech you�察�that there shall not be any more 

strokes。 Let us sign a truce。 

     MERC。 Let that pass�察�go on�察�I grant you this point。

     SOS。 Tell me�察�who put this fancy into your head�拭�What benefit will it 

be to you to take my name�拭�In short�察�were you a demon�察�could you hinder 

me from being myself�察�from being Sosie�拭�

     MERC。 What is this�察�you dare 。 。 。 

     SOS。 Ah� �Gently�此�there is a truce to blows。 

     MERC。 What� �Gallows´bird�察�impostor�察�scoundrel 。。。 

     SOS。 As   for   abuse�察  �give   me   as   much   as   you   please�察  �it   makes   but   a 

slight wound and does not bother me。 

     MERC。 You say you are Sosie�拭�

     SOS。 Yes。 Some ridiculous tale 。 。 。 

     MERC。 So�察�I shall break our truce�察�and take back my word。 

     SOS。 I can't help it。 I cannot annihilate myself for you�察�and endure so 

improbable a tale。 Is it in your power to be what I am�拭�Can I cease to be 

myself�拭�Did any one ever hear of such a thing�拭�And can you give the lie to 

a hundred clear indications�拭�Do I dream�拭�Do I sleep�拭�Is my mind troubled 

by powerful transports�拭�Do I not feel I am awake�拭�Am I not in my right 

senses�拭�Has not my master�察�Amphitryon�察�commanded me to come here to 

Alcmene his wife�拭�Am I not�察�in commending his passion to her�察�to give 

her   an   account   of   his   deeds   against   our   enemies�拭  �Have   I   not   just   come 

from the harbour�拭�Do I not hold a lantern in my hand�拭�Have I not found 

you in front of our house�拭�Did I not speak to you in a perfectly friendly 

manner�拭  �Do   you   not   make   use   of   my   poltroonery   to   hinder   me   from 

entering our house�拭�Have you not vented your rage upon my back�拭�Have 

you   not   showered   blows   on   me�拭�Ah� �All   this   is   but   too   true�此  �would   to 

Heaven it were less real� �Cease therefore to jeer at a wretch's lot�察�and leave 

me to acquit myself where my duty calls me。 

     MERC。       Stop�察  �or   the  shortest    step  brings    down     upon    your   back 

clattering evidence of my just anger。 All you have just said is mine�察�except 

the blows。 It is I�察�whom Amphitryon sent to Alcmene�察�who has just arrived 

from the Persian
