Il Complesso Barocco under Alan Curtis
Giulio Cesare in Egitto was first performed at the King's Theatre in the Haymarket, London on February 20, 1724, and the role of Achilla was sung by Giuseppe Maria Boschi (fl. 1698–1744).
Tolomeo is fascinated by Cornelia's beauty but has promised his general, Achilla, that he could have her.
Tu sei il cor di questo core,
sei il mio ben, non t'adirar!
Per amor io chiedo amore,
più da te non vo' bramar.
You are the heart of my heart,
you are my beloved. Do not be angry:
I seek for love in return for my love
and long for nothing but you.

Cornelia
Mia vita!
Sesto
Addio!
(mentre le guardie vogliono condur via Sesto, Cornelia corre a ritenerlo per un braccio)

Dove, dove, inumani,
l'anima mia guidate? Empi, lasciate,
che al mio core, al mio bene
io porga almen gli ultimi baci. Ahi pene!

Goodbye!
(while the guards want to take Sesto away, Cornelia runs to consider him by the arm)

Where, where, inhuman,
do you lead my soul? Empi, left,

I give almen the last kisses. Ahi penis!
