CATILINA.
Hvad mumler de? 
CATILINE.
What do they murmur? 
CETHEGUS.
At du er ej så ganske
foruden del i denne mørke sag. 
CETHEGUS.
That in this dark affair
You are not altogether innocent. 
CATILINA.
Det tror man om mig? 
CATILINE.
This they believe of me? 
LENTULUS.
Hm, – så løber rygtet.
Nu ja, – for os, for dine gode venner,
kan sligt jo være, som det være vil; –
men folket, Catilina, dømmer strængere. 
LENTULUS.
Such is the rumor;
Of course,--to us, to all your good old friends,
Such talk is trifling and of no account;--
The world, however, judges more severely. 
CATILINA
(i tanker),
Og er hun død? 
CATILINE.
[Deep in thought.]
And is she dead? 
CETHEGUS.
Det er hun uden tvivl.
En times ophold i forbrydergraven
er mer end nok – 
CETHEGUS.
Undoubtedly she is.
An hour’s confinement in the convict tomb
Is quite enough-- 
LENTULUS.
Det kommer os ej ved;
det var ej derfor vi om hende talte.
Men hør mig, Catilina! Tænk dig om.
Du søgte konsulatet. Al din velfærd
hang i den ene skøre håbets tråd; –
nu er den brusten; nu er alt forbi. 
LENTULUS.
That is not our affair.
It was not therefore that we spoke of her.
But hear me, Catiline! Bethink yourself.
You sought the consulate; and all your welfare
Hung on that single fragile thread of hope.
Now is it sundered; everything is lost. 
CATILINA
(som før).
„Selv har du hævnen nedkaldt på dit hoved.“ 
CATILINE.
[Still deep in thought.]
“Vengeance you have invoked on your own head!” 
CETHEGUS.
Ryst slige tanker af; de nytter ej.
Vis dig som mand; endnu kan slaget vindes;
en kæk beslutning –; du har venner nok;
vi følger dig på allerførste vink. –
Du fristes ikke? Svar! 
CETHEGUS.
Shake off these useless thoughts; they profit naught;
Act like a man; still can this fight be won;
A bold resolve now--; you have friends enough;
Speak but the word, and we shall follow you.--
You are not tempted? Answer! 
CATILINA.
Nej, siger jeg!
Og hvorfor vil I sammensværge jer?
Tal ærligt! Drives I af friheds-længsel?
Er det, for Romas storhed at forynge,
at I vil styrte alt? 
CATILINE.
No, I say!
And why are you so eager to conspire?
Be honest! Are you driven by thirst for freedom?
Is it in order to renew Rome’s splendor
That you would ruin all?
