On that night Jupiter made love to Alcumena again.
illā nocte Iuppiter Alcumēnam iterum amāuit.
After a long time the long night ended and the sun appeared.
longum post tempus nox longa fīnīuit et sōl appāruit.
Alcumena took it badly that Jupiter preferred to conquer the Teleboans and to go away before dawn than to remain.
Alcumēna grauiter tulit quod Iuppiter uincere Tēleboās et ante lūcem abīre māluit quam manēre.
Therefore Jupiter gave her a gift, a golden plate of the king of the Teleboans;
Iuppiter ergō illī dōnum dedit, pateram auream rēgis Tēleboārum;
and when Alcumena thanked Jupiter, Jupiter departed.
et ubi Alcumēna Iouī grātiās ēgit, Iuppiter discessit.
Nonetheless Alcumena, sad because after many hours Jupiter departed …
nihilōminus Alcumēna, trīstis quod Iuppiter multās post hōrās abiit, …
… said “Alas, I was able to have pleasure for one night, while my husband was here.
“ēheu” inquit “uoluptātem unā nocte habēre potuī, dum uir meus domī adfuit.
“But he suddenly left from here, from me, before dawn.
“sed ille subitō hinc ā mē abiit ante lūcem.
“Now I seem (to me) (to be) here alone, because he is not present but has departed hence.”
“sōla hīc mihi nunc uideor, quia ille nōn adest sed hinc discessit.”
Meanwhile Sosia has returned to Amphitruo and reports everything about the other Sosia.
intereā Sōsia ad Amphitruōnem rediit et omnia dē Sōsiā alterō nūntiat.
That man (Amphitruo) therefore becomes angry, because Sosia says, “I actually said (this) ten times:
ille ergō īrātus fit, quod Sōsia “ego etiam” inquit “deciēs dīxī:
“truly I, Sosia, am here with you, and truly I myself am home.
“uērō tēcum adsum Sōsia, et uērō domī ego sum.
“Therefore I am both here and there.”
“sum ergō et hīc et illīc.”
Amphitruo refused to believe (him), but preferred rebuke Sosia.
Amphitruō crēdere nōluit, sed Sōsiam castigāre māluit.
Sosia said again, “I tell of thing (that is) amazing, to you and to me.
Sōsia iterum dīxit, “mīrum mihi est et tibi, inquam.
“For that Sosia, like me, announced everything about the battle, and knew everything.
“nam Sōsia ille, ut ego, omnia nūntiāuit dē proeliō, et omnia scīuit.
“For that one said, ‘We waged war against the Teleboans.
“nam ille ‘bellum gessimus’ inquit ‘in Tēleboās.
“ ‘On this night our ship left (from) the port and after a long time our troops destroyed the city and the legions of the Teleboans.
“ ‘hāc nocte nāuis nostra ē portū discessit et longum post tempus cōpiae nostrae dēlēuērunt urbem et legiōnēs Tēleboārum.
“ ‘Afterwards, Amphitruo killed the king in battle and took a golden plate of the king of the Teleboans.’ ”
“ ‘post, Amphitruō rēgem in proeliō necāuit et pateram auream rēgis Tēleboārum cēpit.’”
But Amphitruo, angry, did not believe (him), but wanted to look into the affair.
uērum Amphitruō īrātus nōn crēdidit sed rem inuestīgāre uoluit.
At the third hour he approached the door and caught sight of Alcumena.
tertiā hōrā ad iānuam appropinquāuit et Alcumēnam cōnspexit.
AMPHITRUO: “Look! After a long time, I have caught sight of Alcumena, and she (has caught sight of) me.
AMPHITRUŌ: “ecce! longum post tempus, Alcumēnam cōnspexī ego, et illa mē.
“How happy is the affair, both for me and for her, because I will be at present at home!”
“quam laeta rēs est, et mihi et illī, quod domī aderō!”
ALCUMENA: “Look! My husband is present here, to be sure.
ALCUMĒNA: (to herself) “ecce! meus uir hīc quidem adest!
