César<br />

Bientôt j’aurai le temps de te révéler<br />

toutes les raisons mystérieuses<br />

[de ma survie.<br />

Tu es libre ; pour l’instant, va au port<br />

y rassembler les troupes dispersées.<br />

Tu me retrouveras là-bas ;<br />

[Mars m’appelle<br />

à livrer le combat décisif pour ce pays.<br />

Pour conquérir l’Égypte, et le monde<br />

[entier,<br />

il suffit de l’audace qui habite<br />

[mon cœur.<br />

(Il sort avec les soldats.)<br />

15 AIR<br />

Cléopâtre<br />

Quand le navire, brisé par les tempêtes<br />

parvient enfin à gagner le port,<br />

il ne sait plus que désirer.<br />

Ainsi le cœur, après les peines<br />

[et les tourments,<br />

quand il retrouve son réconfort,<br />

est transporté de joie.<br />

Scène VIII<br />

Une salle dans le palais. Ptolémée<br />

et Cornélie.<br />

Cesare<br />

Tempo avrò di svelarti<br />

ogni ascosa cagion del viver mio.<br />

Libera sei, vanne frattanto al porto,<br />

e le disperse schiere in un raduna;<br />

colà mi rivedrai; Marte mi chiama<br />

all’impresa total di questo suolo.<br />

Per conquistar, non che l’Egitto,<br />

[un mondo,<br />

basta l’ardir di questo petto solo.<br />

(parte con i soldati)<br />

ARIA<br />

Cleopatra<br />

Da tempeste il legno infranto,<br />

se poi salvo giunge in porto,<br />

non sa più che desiar.<br />

Così il cor tra pene e pianto,<br />

or che trova il suo conforto,<br />

torna l’anima a bear.<br />

Scena ottava<br />

Sala regia di Tolomeo. Tolomeo,<br />

Cornelia.<br />

108<br />

Caesar<br />

There will be time to tell you<br />

all the hidden reasons why I survived.<br />

You are free; for the moment go<br />

[to the harbour<br />

and regroup the scattered troops.<br />

You will see me there;<br />

[Mars summons me<br />

to the ultimate struggle for this land.<br />

To conquer, not merely Egypt,<br />

[but the world,<br />

there is enough daring in my breast.<br />

(Exit with soldiers.)<br />

ARIA<br />

Cleopatra<br />

The boat that, battered by the tempest,<br />

safely reaches the harbour,<br />

Does not know what more to ask for.<br />

And so a heart that dwelt in pains<br />

[and weeping,<br />

when at last it finds peace again,<br />

gives itself over to rejoicing.<br />

Scene 8<br />

The throne-room. Ptolemy and Cornelia.
