Amphitryon - Opening

ACT I

SCENE 1

It is night. Enter Sosia with a lantern.

SOSIA: Hey! Who's that sneaking by there? Ho! -- If day
Would break, I wouldn't mind; the night is ... What?
I'm friendly, gentlemen! We share one road. ...
You've come across the truest fellow, by
My faith, the sun has ever shone upon --
Or rather I should say right now: the moon. ...
They're either rascals, arrant coward knaves
That haven't got the stomach to attack me,
Each sound is shrieking noise here in these hills.
