Perde 3
[Textpart 6]
Do stop a bit.
OLYMPIO
How’s this? (Staring at him.) What person’s this?
STALINO
He whose slave you are.
OLYMPIO
Am I not a free man? Remember! remember!
STALINO
Stop and stay you there!
OLYMPIO
That’s very good.
STALINO
My dear little Olympio, my father, my patron, I do beg of you—
OLYMPIO
Well, you certainly are in your senses.
STALINO
Of course I am your slave.

OLYMPIO
What need have I of so worthless a slave?
STALINO
Well now, how soon are you going to provide me some amusement Provide me some amusement: He perhaps alludes to the gratification of his villanous intentions with regard to Casina. If not, his meaning is still more gross. He is, without exception, the most despicable character, with the exception of Dinarchus, in the Truculentus, depicted in any Play of Plautus.?
OLYMPIO
If the dinner were but drest.
STALINO
Then let them be off this instant in-doors.
Go you into the house and despatch with all haste.
