CATILINA
(farer tilbage).
Forrådt! Hvad siger du?

CATILINE.
[Starts back.]
Betrayed! What are you saying?

CURIUS.
Forrådt bag venskabs maske!

CURIUS.
Betrayed by one in friendly guise!

CATILINA.
Nu du fejler;
de vilde venner er mig tro som du.

CATILINE.
You err;
These stormy friends are loyal even as you.

CURIUS.
O, ve dig da for dine venners troskab!

CURIUS.
Then woe to you for all their loyalty!

CATILINA.
Kom til dig selv! Det er din kærlighed,
din omhu for min sikkerhed, som lader
dig skimte farer, hvor der ingen er.

CATILINE.
Compose yourself! It is your love for me,
Your interest in my safety, that has wakened
Imaginary dangers in your mind.

CURIUS
O, véd du vel at disse ord mig myrder?
Men flygt! Så bønligt jeg besværger dig –!

CURIUS.
Oh, do you know these words do murder me?
But flee! I do entreat you earnestly--

CATILINA.
Fat dig og tal med overlæg. Hvi skulde
jeg flygte? Fienden véd ej, hvor jeg står.

CATILINE.
Be calm and speak your mind. Why should I flee?
The enemy knows not where I make my stand.

CURIUS.
Han véd, – han kender alle dine anslag!

CURIUS.
Indeed he does,--he knows your every plan!

CATILINA.
Ah, raser du? Han véd –? Det er umuligt.

CATILINE.
What, are you mad? He knows--? Impossible!

CURIUS.
O, var det så! Men nyt den knappe stund;
end kan måske ved flugt du livet frelse!

CURIUS.
Oh, were it so! But use the hour remaining;
Still you may save yourself perhaps in flight!
