But still take notice, that it looks not like
The true Amphitryon, to fly out at first
To brutal force: it shews he doubts his cause,
Who dares not trust his reason to defend it.
Amph. Thou base usurper of my name and bed! [Struggling.
No less than thy heart's blood can wash away
The affronts I have sustained.
Tran. We must not suffer
So strange a duel, as Amphitryon
To fight against himself.
