Ottone
How could my sudden fury and political calculations ever lead me to think of killing Poppea? O, accursed mind, why are you immortal, that I cannot slaughter you, punish you? I thought, I spoke of killing you, my love?
My demented spirit repudiated the affection that for a while you gave me, gave way, fell, broke down in a thought so loathsome and so vile? Change this monstruous soul, give me another less impure spirit, in your great mercy, o gods!
Despise me as much as you wish, hate me as much as you can, I wish to be eclipsed by the sun of your eyes. I shall love without hope, in spite of fate, my pleasure being to love you in despair. I shall cherish my torments, born of your lovely face, I shall be damned, yes, but in paradise.
