Hold your tongue, Chalinus,
OLYMPIO
Do make that fellow be quiet.
CHALINUS
No, that fellow rather (pointing to OLYMPIO), who has learned to misbehave[*].
STALINO
(to CHALINUS.)
Set the urn down here. (CHALINUS puts it down.) Give me the lots: lend your attention now. But I did think, my wife, that I could have prevailed upon you thus far,
for Casina to be given me as my wife, and even now I think so.
OLYMPIO.
She, given to you?
STALINO
Why yes, to me—dear me, I didn’t mean to say that. While I meant for myself[*], I said him; (aside) why really, while I’m wanting her for myself, I’ve already, i’ faith, been chattering at random.
CLEOSTRATA
(overhearing him.)
Upon my word, you really have; and you are still doing so.
STALINO
For him—no, no; for myself, i’ faith[*]. Plague take it, at last, with great difficulty, I’ve got into the right road!
CLEOSTRATA
Very often, i’ faith, you are making your mistakes.
STALINO
Such is the case when you desire anything very much. But each of us, both he (pointing to OLYMPIO) and I, apply to you for our rights—
CLEOSTRATA
How’s that?
STALINO
Why, I’ll tell you, my sweet. As to this Casina, you must make a present of her to this bailiff of ours.
CLEOSTRATA
But, i’ faith, I neither do make it, nor do I in tend it.
STALINO
In that case, then, I’ll divide the lots between them.
CLEOSTRATA
Who forbids you?
STALINO
I judge with reason that that is the best and fairest way. In fine, if that happens which we desire, we shall be glad; but if otherwise, we’ll bear it with equanimity. (Giving a lot to OLYMPIO.) Take, this lot—take it; see what’s written on it.
OLYMPIO
(looking at it.)
Number one.
CHALINUS
It isn’t fair, be cause that fellow has got one before me.
STALINO
(giving one to CHALINUS.)
Take this, will you.
CHALINUS
(taking it.)
Give it me. Stop though; one thing has just now come into my mind.
(To CLEOSTRATA.)
Do you see that there’s no other lot in there by chance at the bottom of the water.
STALINO
Whip-rascal! do you take me to be your own self?
(To CLEOSTRATA.)
There is none; only set your feelings at rest.
OLYMPIO
(to CHALINUS.)
May it prove lucky and fortunate to me, a great mischance to you!
CHALINUS
I’ faith, it will certainly fall to you, I fancy; I know your pious ways. But stop a bit; is that lot of yours of poplar or of fir?
OLYMPIO
Why do you trouble yourself about that?
CHALINUS
Why, because I’m afraid that it may float on the surface of the water. (They go up to the urn.)
STALINO
Capital!—take care! Now then, both of you, throw your lots in here. (Pointing to the urn.) Look now, wife, all’s fair. (They throw them in.)
OLYMPIO
Don’t you trust your wife.
