Don't you recognize me, your parasite?
Don't you recognize (or haven't you recognized) me, your parasite?
If I recognized you, I wouldn't deny you.
For "parasite" see e.g. The Language of Plautus's Parasites by

(ref. 1)
Here is the beginning:
The parasite, or flatterer, has a long tradition in Graeco-Roman comedy, going back ultimately to Epicharmus. All parasites, both Greek and Roman, share in varying degrees certain comic characteristics - impudence, wit and, especially in the Roman variety, a keen interest in food.
