Listen in the reader

Do not this thing, madam!

Pau. Nay, hold me not!

Sen. Paullina, dost thou make This desperate choice truly with all thy heart?

Pau. With all my heart.

Sen. Thou dost? Dear wife, I thought Cæsar could part us: now I can forgive him.— To you, my friends, farewell! Thrasea, farewell! Priscus, farewell! Fannia, farewell!—Paullina, (Taking her hand) Since thou canst dare, we will go hand in hand To learn the mighty secret; we will set forth Together unto the place where all have gone.
