Most excellent. But where’s your cloak?
OLYMPIO
(pointing to the house of ALCESIMUS.)
I left it here in-doors.
CLEOSTRATA
Well now; hasn’t a very nice trick been played you?
OLYMPIO
Yes, and deservedly. Hush! the door makes a noise. What, is she following me, I wonder? (They go to a distance.)
937
(Enter STALINO, in haste, from the house of ALCESIMUS.)
STALINO
(aloud to himself.)
I’m branded with the greatest disgrace, nor what, under my circumstances to do, do I know. Nor yet how to look my wife in the face; so utterly undone am I! All my misdeeds are discovered.
In every way, to my confusion, I am ruined! So clearly am I hooked fast by the jaws! nor know I in what way to clear myself before my wife; wretch that I am, to have been stripped of my cloak! ⋯ These clandestine nuptials are all discovered.
⋯ I judge it best for me ⋯ She taught my wife ⋯ the way ⋯ But who is there, what person would be ready to undertake this office
for me? What now to do I know not, except to imitate worthless slaves, and fly from the house; for there’s no safety for my shoulder-blades if I return home. I may tell lies there; i’ faith, I shall get a basting, though much against my will, although I have earned my punishment.
I’ll at once betake myself in this direction in flight.
(He begins to run.)
OLYMPIO
(coming forward with the others.)
Hallo there! Stop, this instant, you amorous one!
STALINO
(to himself.)
I’m utterly undone! I’m being called back. I’ll be off, as though I didn’t hear.
(Runs on.]
963
(Enter CHALINUS, from the house of ALCESIMUS, dressed in woman’s clothes.)
CHALINUS
Where are you, you who imitate the morals of the Massilians[*]? Now, if you wish to be taking liberties with me, is a good opportunity
[⋯ at your risk. By my troth, you are undone. Come, only step this way. ⋯ Now I fancy that when a witness out of ⋯ I’ll find ⋯ thus out of the street I order ⋯ a murmur I ⋯
STALINO
Now am I in extreme danger, between the stone and the sacrifice, nor know I which way to fly ⋯The wolf-dogs ⋯ it was ⋯
CHALINUS
I’ faith, I do think ⋯ old there now like new.]
STALINO
(turning about.)
I’ll go this way. I trust that the omen of a bitch’s barking will prove the better[*].
CLEOSTRATA
What are you doing, my husband, my good man? Whence come you in this guise?
What have you done with your walking-stick, or how disposed of the cloak you had?
TWO MAID-SERVANTS
While he was playing his loving pranks with Casina, he lost it, I fancy.
STALINO
(aside.)
Utterly undone!
CHALINUS
(coming up to STALINO.)
Shall we go to bed again? I am Casina.
STALINO
Away with you to utter perdition!
CHALINUS
Don’t you love me?
CLEOSTRATA
Nay, but answer me; what has become of your cloak?
STALINO
(running about, exclaiming.)
[Upon my faith, wife, the Bacchantes!
Bacchantes[*]!
Bacchantes!
TWO MAID-SERVANTS
He’s making pretence on purpose
for, upon my word, no Bacchantes are exhibiting at the present time.
STALINO
I forgot that. But still, the Bacchantes!—
