Recitativeo E pur così in un giorno perdo fasti, e grandezze? Ahi fato rio! Cesare il mio bel nume è forse estinto; Cornelia, e Sesto inermi son, né sanno darmi soccorso. O dio! Non resta alcuna speme al viver mio. Aria Piangerò la sorte mia sì crudele e tanto ria finché vita in petto avrò. Ma poi morta d'ogn'intorno il tiranno e notte e giorno fatta spettro agiterò.
