female · dramatic · 51 sec

Hold, Fiesco! For Heaven's sake no more! 'Tis the thick veil of night alone which covers the burning blushes on my cheeks, else wouldst thou pity me. (FIESCO: Rather, Julia, thy blushes would inflame my passions, and urge them to their utmost height.) Thy countenance is glowing as thy words! Ah! and my own, too, burns with guilty fire. Hence, I entreat thee, hence--let us seek the light! The tempting darkness might lead astray the excited senses, and in the absence of the modest day might stir them to rebellion. Haste, I conjure thee, leave this solitude! FIESCO (more pressing). Why so alarmed, my love? Shall the mistress fear her slave?
