From Nero by Stephen Phillips

male · romantic · 55 sec

You madden me---- (POPPAEA: Farewell again.) Poppaea, go not, go not. All the east Burns in me, and the desert fires my blood. I parch, I pine for you. My body is sand That thirsts. I die, I perish of this thirst, To slake it at your lips! You madden me. [ (He seizes her cloak and she stands revealed.) Goddess! What shall I give thee great enough? I'll give thee Rome--I'll give thee this great world, And all the builded empire as a toy. The Mediterranean shall thy mirror be, Thy jewels all sparkling stars of heaven. The orb of the earth--throw it on thy lap But for a kiss--one kiss! (POPPAEA: But Agrippina?) Agrippina?
