Cléopâtre<br />
Oui.<br />
César<br />
Où est-elle ?<br />
Cléopâtre<br />
César, tourne<br />
vers moi, et non ailleurs, la clarté<br />
de ces yeux que j’adore :<br />
je suis Cléopâtre, et non plus changée<br />
[en Lydie.<br />
César<br />
Tu es Cléopâtre… ?<br />
Cléopâtre<br />
En un instant<br />
la vue de ma personne royale anéantira<br />
la folle audace des conjurés ;<br />
rengaine ton épée, seigneur !<br />
(Cléopâtre sort.)<br />
César<br />
Curion, devant de si étranges<br />
[événements<br />
je suis comme pétrifié.<br />
Curion<br />
Je suis tout confondu.<br />
César<br />
Qu’ai-je donc entendu ?<br />
Cleopatra<br />
Sì.<br />
Cesare<br />
Dov’è?<br />
Cleopatra<br />
Cesare, volgi<br />
in questo seno, e non altrove, il lampo<br />
di quegli occhi che adoro:<br />
son Cleopatra, e non più Lidia in cambio.<br />
Cesare<br />
Sei Cleopatra?<br />
Cleopatra<br />
In breve<br />
de’ congiurati il temerario ardire<br />
questo aspetto regal farà che cada;<br />
torna al fianco, signor, quella tua spada!<br />
(parte)<br />
Cesare<br />
Curio, a sì strani eventi<br />
resto immobile sasso.<br />
Curio<br />
Stupito son.<br />
Cesare<br />
Che udisti mai, cor mio?<br />
88<br />
Cleopatra<br />
Yes.<br />
Caesar<br />
Where is she?<br />
Cleopatra<br />
Caesar, turn<br />
the light of those eyes that I adore<br />
to this breast, and not elsewhere:<br />
it is Cleopatra, not Lidia, who enters<br />
[the fray.<br />
Caesar<br />
You are Cleopatra?<br />
Cleopatra<br />
In a moment<br />
the rash audacity of the conspirators<br />
will crumble before the sight<br />
[of my person;<br />
return your sword to its scabbard, Lord!<br />
(Exit.)<br />
Caesar<br />
Curius, at such strange events<br />
I am as if turned to stone.<br />
Curius<br />
I am astonished.<br />
Caesar<br />
What did you hear, my heart?
