here, the translation of the passage is somewhat modified.. 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. OLE. She, given to you? STALINO Why yes, to me----dear me, I didn't mean to say that. While I meant for myselfWhile I meant for myself: Wishing to correct himself, in his confusion he only getyou 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.

CHALINUS By my troth, he wants to see you burning outside of the Metian gateThe Metian gate: As he writes for a Roman audience, the author does not see any impropriety in speaking of the "Metian gate," although the scene is at Athens. The bodies of the dead were burned outside of the Metian or Esquiline gate.. CLEOSTRATA I' faith, I believe he does want that. CHALINUS But, by my troth, I don't believe it, but I know it for certain. STALINO aside to OLYMPIO. I've got more men of business than I imagined: I've got this fellow, a Diviner, in my house.
