Achillas<br />

Seigneur, tu verras aujourd’hui<br />

César mort, gisant sur le sol,<br />

et toi, roi vengé, tu règneras seul.<br />

Ptolémée<br />

Va, mets ton projet à exécution,<br />

[et aie confiance ;<br />

[comme récompense,<br />

tu auras ta cruelle.<br />

(à part) (Il est insensé, s’il le croit !)<br />

13 AIR<br />

Achillas (à Cornélie)<br />

Si tu n’es pas cruelle envers moi,<br />

mon cœur te sera<br />

éternellement fidèle.<br />

Mais si, envers moi toujours<br />

[impitoyable,<br />

tu ne changes pas d’attitude,<br />

n’attends que la rigueur de ma part !<br />

(Il sort.)<br />

14 RÉCITATIF<br />

Ptolémée<br />

Ma belle, détestes-tu à ce point<br />

un homme qui implore ton amour ?<br />

Cornélie<br />

Un traître<br />

n’est pas digne d’amour.<br />

Achilla<br />

Signor, oggi vedrai<br />

Cesare estinto al suolo,<br />

re vendicato, e regnator tu solo.<br />

tolomeo<br />

Parti, eseguisci, e spera; avrai<br />

[in mercede<br />

la tua crudel.<br />

(da sé) (Folle è costui se’l crede.)<br />

ARIA<br />

Achilla (a Cornelia)<br />

Se a me non sei crudele,<br />

ognor sarà fedele<br />

a te questo mio cor.<br />

Ma se spietata sempre<br />

ver’ me non cangi tempre,<br />

aspetta sol rigor!<br />

(parte)<br />

RECITATIVO<br />

tolomeo<br />

Bella, cotanto aborri<br />

chi ti prega d’amar?<br />

Cornelia<br />

Un traditore<br />

degno non è d’amor.<br />

79<br />

Achillas<br />

Lord, today you will see<br />

Caesar dead on the ground,<br />

and you, sovereign, will have<br />

[your revenge.<br />

Ptolemy<br />

Leave now, act, and hope; as a gift<br />

you will have your merciless woman.<br />

(aside) (He is mad if he believes that!)<br />

ARIA<br />

Achillas (to Cornelia)<br />

If you will cease your cruelty,<br />

forever faithful to you<br />

my heart will be.<br />

But if you remain always pitiless<br />

and change not your attitude,<br />

expect only severity!<br />

(Exit.)<br />

RECITATIVE<br />

Ptolemy<br />

Beauty, do you abhor so much<br />

one who begs you to love him?<br />

Cornelia<br />

A traitor<br />

is unworthy of love.
