Achilla
Sire, take it!
Ptolemy
What's up?
Sesto
(by itself): Cruel stars!
Achilla
Weapon the man who is not the time, or Sire, to be in love with a loving part; these Venuses leave, and fly to Mars!
Ptolemy
The enemy is luck ...
Achilla
While I am looking for the slaughter of Caesar, he rushes among us,
but the number of many
to the virtue of only one prevails;
flees with Curio, and from sublime balconies
he suddenly throws himself into the harbor, and I aim at a submerged Curio point,
and Cesare already dead.
Cornelia

Here is all lost
the hope of revenge!
Iron, helpless I see you;
I no longer suffer death to you I ask. (pulls the sword to kill himself)
Cornelia
Fermo? what are you doing? if perverse the fate of the coup was in vain, desperate, oh Sesto.
Sesto
Now that Caesar is extinct, what more can we hope for?
Cornelia
Soul, dare!
Niren already gives you the pass; to the vanni field; there you will see the wicked tyrant again,
and he then makes mirar with alma forte,

Sesto

I will follow every step of the tyrant with an unknown step,
until in his peril
I will make it fall bloodless

And how
Alive, Caesar, and unharmed do you take away from the Parca?

Cleopatra
(among his bridesmaids who cry) You who my fiancee maidens were once, or tears in vain, more mine you are not.
The barbarian

it takes away from me, and my life is stagnating. (It sounds like a roar of arms in the scene)
But what kind of weapons?
Oh yes! the more mine you are not,
spirar l'alma Cleopatra or or you will see.
Caesar
(enters with naked sword in hand and soldiers) I forced the entrance to your salvation, oh dear!

Shadow, no, you are not, Caesar loved. (he runs to hug him)
Caesar
Dear, I hold you to the breast;
Our fate has changed.
Cleopatra
How safe am I seeing you?
Caesar
Time I will have to reveal you
every ascosa cagion of my life. Free six, vanne in the harbor, and scattered them in a gathering; there you will see me again; Mars calls me
to the total enterprise of this soil.
To conquer, not that Egypt, a world, is enough the ardir of this breast alone.
(part with the soldiers)
Cleopatra air
From storms the broken wood, if it is safe then reaches the port, does not know what to desiar.
So the heart between pain and crying, or find its comfort, the soul returns to bear.
