CATILINA
(hen for sig).
O, skæbne, – skæbne! 
CATILINE.
[To himself.]
What fate--what fate! 
CURIUS
(rækker atter dolken imod ham).
Stød den i mit hjerte! 
CURIUS.
[Again holds out the dagger to him.]
Then plunge it in my heart! 
CATILINA
(ser stille på ham).
Du var et redskab kun. Du handled ret – 
CATILINE.
[Looks at him calmly.]
No, you were but a tool.
You acted well-- 
CURIUS.
O, lad med livet mig udsone brøden! 
CURIUS.
Oh, let me die and expiate my sin! 
CATILINA
Jeg har tilgivet dig.
(idet han går.)
Nu er kun et
at vælge, ven! 
CATILINE.
I have forgiven you.

CATILINE.
[As he goes.]
But one thing now
Is there to choose! 
CURIUS
(springer op).
Ja, flugt? 
CURIUS.
[Jumps up.]
Yes, flight! 
CATILINA.
Nej, heltedøden!
(han går bort gennem skoven.)  
CATILINE.
Heroic death!
[He goes away through the forest.] 
CURIUS.
Det er forgæves! Undergang ham venter.
Ah, denne mildhed er en tifold straf!
Jeg følger ham; – et skal ej nægtes mig: –
at falde kæmpende ved heltens side!
(han iler ud.)
(Lentulus tilligemed to gladiatorer kommer listende frem mellem træerne.)  
CURIUS.
’Tis all in vain! Ruin awaits him here.
This mildness is a tenfold punishment!
I’ll follow him; one thing I shall be granted:--
To perish fighting by the hero’s side!
[He rushes out. LENTULUS and TWO GLADIATORS come stealing among the trees.] 
LENTULUS
(sagte).
Her talte nogen – 
LENTULUS.
[Softly.]
Some one was speaking-- 
DEN ENE GLADIATOR.
Nu er alting stille. 
ONE OF THE GLADIATORS.
Aye, but now all’s quiet.
