SCENE XIV.

Fulvia
alone.
Wretch that I am! Is this the air of Tiber
That Fulvia breathes? Or rove I through the paths
Of Thebes and Argos? Or from Grecian shores,
Fertile in impious deeds, domestic furies,
From Cadmus' or Atrides' fatal race,
Have visited these climes; while there a stern
385

Ungrateful monarch fills my soul with horror,
A barbarous father here, with treacherous guilt,
Freezes the springs of life; and ever present
A guiltless husband skims before my sight!
O fatal images! O dire remembrance!
Distracting thoughts, yet still I breathe and live!
In anguish while my tongue complains,
My heart is torn with racking pains,
Through every part the frenzy flies.
I call on Heaven to end my woe,
Unpitying Heaven with-holds the blow,
Nor sends the forky bolt below,
But to my prayer the bolt denies.

[Exit.
