JUP.Yes, you are right, this resemblance authorises you to doubt both of us.I am not offended to see you cannot make up your minds:
I am more reasonable, and excuse you.The eye cannot differentiate between us.I see one can easily be mistaken.You do not see me give way to anger, nor draw my sword: that is a bad way to enlighten a mystery; I can find one more gentle and more certain.One of us is Amphitryon; and both of us may seem so in your eyes.It is for me to end this confusion.I intend to make myself so well known to all, that, at the overwhelming proofs I shall bring forward to show who Iam, be himself shall agree concerning the blood from which I sprang, and he shall no longer have occasion to say anything.Before all the Thebans I will reveal the truth to you; the affair is, unquestionably, of sufficient importance to justify my seeking to clear it up in the sight of all.Alcmene expects this public testimony from me; her virtue, which is outraged by the noise of this mischance, demands justification, and I will see justice is done it.My love for her compels me to it.I shall call together an assembly of the noblest chiefs, for the explanation her honour requires.While waiting with you for these desirable witnesses, Ipray you to condescend to honour the table to which Sosie has invited you.
