Appearances
The gods have seen my joys with envious eyes.
I have no friends in heaven, and all the world, as 'twere the business of mankind to part us, is armed against my love.
Even you yourself join with the rest.
You, you are armed against me.
You command me, and I am dumb.
I like this well
He shows authority.
Oh heavens, I ruin you
Well, I obey you.
I cleared myself.
Yet may I speak?
How shall I plead my cause when you, my judge, have already condemned me?
Shall I bring the love you bore me for my advocate?
That now is turned against me, that destroys me.
For love once past, is at the best forgotten, but often as sours to hate
But could I once have thought it would have pleased you that you would pry with narrow searching eyes into my faults, severe to my destruction, and watching all advantages with care that served to make me wretched?
Speak, my lord, for I end here, though I deserved this usage, was it like you to give it?
Thus lo I thank you, and since my innocence will not offend, I shall not blush to own it.
You seem grieved, and therein you are kind, that Caesar first enjoyed my love, though you deserved it better.
I grieve for that, my lord, much more than you.
