Indeed! I consider you to be an honest fellow.
CHALINUS
So I find.
But if you think so, why don’t you give me my freedom?
STALINO
Why so I wish to do; but it’s of no use for me to wish a thing to be done, unless you aid me with your actions.
CHALINUS
What you wish, I only wish myself to be acquainted with it.
STALINO
Listen then; I’ll tell you. I’ve promised to give Casina as a wife to our bailiff.
CHALINUS
But your wife and your son have promised her to me.
STALINO
I know it;
but whether now would you prefer yourself to be single and a free man, or, as a married man, to pass your lives, yourself and your children, in slavery? This choice is your own: whichever condition of these two you prefer, take it.
CHALINUS
If I am free, I live at my own cost; at present I live at yours. As to Casina, I’m resolved to give way to no born man.
STALINO
Go in-doors, and at once be quick and call my wife here, out of doors; and bring hither together with you an urn[*], with some water, and the lots.
CHALINUS
I’m quite agreable.
STALINO
I’ faith, in some way or other I’ll now ward off this weapon of yours; for if, as it is, I shall not be able to prevail by persuasion, at least I’ll try it by lot. There I shall take vengeance upon you and your abettors.
CHALINUS
Still, for all that the lot will fall to me—
STALINO
Aye, faith, for you to go to perdition with direful torments.
CHALINUS
She shall marry me, contrive what you will, in any way you please.
STALINO
Won’t you away hence from my sight?
CHALINUS
Unwillingly you look upon me, still I shall live on. (Goes into the house.)
STALINO
(to himself.)
Am I not a wretched man? Don’t all things go quite contrary with me? I’m now afraid that my wife will prevail upon Olympio not to
marry Casina. If that’s done, why look, it’s all over with me in my old age! If she does not prevail, there is still some tiny hope in the lots. But if the lots fail me, I’ll make a pillow of a sword, and lay me down upon it. But see, most opportunely Olympio’s coming out of doors.
309
(Enter OLYMPIO, from the house, speaking to CLEOSTRATA, within.)
OLYMPIO
By my faith, all in an instant shut me up in a hot furnace,
and parch me there for a hard-baked biscuit[*], good mistress, before you shall gain that point of me which you desire.
STALINO
(apart.)
I’m all right. My hope’s realized, according as I hear his words.
OLYMPIO
(at the door, to his MISTRESS, within.)
But why do you frighten me about liberty? Why, even though you should oppose it, and your son as well,
against your wills and in spite of you both, for a single penny[*] I can become free.
STALINO
(stepping forward.)
What’s this? Who are you wrangling with, Olympio?
OLYMPIO
With the same person that you always are.
STALINO
What, with my wife?
OLYMPIO
What wife are you speaking of to me? Really you are a hunter, as it were:
your nights and days you pass with a female cur[*].
