Be of good courage.
OLYMPIO
Upon my faith, I do believe that she’ll lay a spell upon the lots this very day, if she touches them.
STALINO
Hold your tongue.
OLYMPIO
I’ll hold my tongue. I pray the Gods—
CHALINUS
Aye,that this day you may have to endure the chain[*] and the bilboes[*].
OLYMPIO
That the lot may fall to me.
CHALINUS
Aye, faith, that you may hang up by the feet.
OLYMPIO
Aye, that you may blow your eyes out of your head through your nose.
CHALINUS
(to STALINO.)
What are you afraid of? It must be ready by this— (Turning to OLYMPIO.) A halter for you, I mean.
OLYMPIO
(to CHALINUS.)
You’re undone!
STALINO
Give attention, both of you.
OLYMPIO
I’ll be mum.
STALINO
Now you, Cleostrata, that you may not say that anything has been done cheatingly by me in this matter, or suspect it,
I give you leave, do you yourself draw the lots.
OLYMPIO
(to STALINO.)
You are ruining me.
CHALINUS
He’s gaining an advantage rather.
CLEOSTRATA
(to STALINO.)
You do what’s fair.
CHALINUS
(to OLYMPIO.)
I pray the Gods that your lot say run away out of the urn.
OLYMPIO
Say you so? Because you are a runaway yourself, do you wish all to follow your example? I wish, indeed, that that lot of yours, as they say that of the descendants of Hercules[*] once did, may melt away while the lots are drawing.
CHALINUS
And you, that you may melt away yourself, and just now be made hot with twigs.
STALINO
Attend, will you, to the business in hand, Olympio!
OLYMPIO
Yes, if this thrice-dotted[*] fellow ’ll let me.
STALINO
May this prove lucky and fortunate to me.
OLYMPIO
Yes indeed; to me as well.
CHALINUS
Not so.
OLYMPIO
By my troth, yes, I say.
CHALINUS
By my troth, yes, for myself, I say.
STALINO
(to OLYMPIO.)
He’ll be the winner; you’ll live in wretchedness.
Do you give him a punch in the face this instant! Well, what are you about?
CLEOSTRATA
(to OLYMPIO.)
Don’t you raise your hand.[*]
