Serapian read by Alan Mapstone.
The doors around me clapped.
The iron wicket that defends the vault, where the long race of Ptolemies is laid, burst open and disclosed the mighty dead.
From out each monument in order placed, an armied ghost starts up
The boy king last reared his inglorious head.
A peal of groans then followed, and a lamentable voice cried Egypt is no more.
My blood ran back, my shaking knees against each other knocked.
On the cold pavement down I fell entranced.
And so unfinished left the horrid scene
My lord I saw you not, nor meant my words should reach your ears.
But what I uttered was most true.
I know my duty.
This goes no further
And makes his heart a prey to black despair.
Egypt is doomed to be a Roman province, but
And our plenteous harvests must then redeem the scarceness of their soil.
These Romans will all hear us.
But who's that stranger?
By his warlike port, his fierce demeanour and erected look, the
He's of no vulgar note.
