I have no regrets. It is the duty of the one who loves truly.
My heart must renounce its affection
My beloved one will now be my empress.
My love must be transformed into respect.
Here she is! Never has she seemed so lovely.
My love...
Do not say that Servilia, it is forbidden now.
Why?
The emperor has chosen you to be his bride.
I'm to be the emperor's bride? Why?
Because your beauty and virtue are worthy of an emperor.
What more can I say?
Allow me to leave, Empress.
Would you leave perplexed?
Explain how this happened.
I will be lost if I do not leave, my dearest.
Forgive me my impetuous, indescreet words.
It was fault of lips used to calling you thus.
You were the first I ever loved and always faithfully.
You will be the last to hold a place in my heart
What tender words from my beloved!
My dearest, sweetest hope!
The more I hear your voice, the more my passion grows
May all but love be banished from this life!
