Achilla
Sire, prendi!
Tolomeo
Che fia?
Sesto
(da se' ): Stelle crudeli!
Achilla
Arma la man che non è tempo, o Sire, di star fra vezzi in amorosa parte; queste Veneri lascia, e vola a Marte!
Tolomeo
Qual nemica la fortuna...
Achilla
Mentre io cerco di Cesare la strage, s'avventa egli fra i nostri,
ma il numero di molti
alla virtù d'un solo al fin prevale;
fugge con Curio, e da balcon sublime
si scaglia d'improvviso in mezzo al porto, ed io miro in un punto Curio sommerso,
e Cesare già morto.
Achilla
Sire, take it!
Tolomeo
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!
Tolomeo
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.
