CATILINA
(trykker hende tæt til sig og siger med sin sidste kraft):
O, hvor lifligt! Grant jeg mindes nu min glemte drøm,
hvordan hvælvets mørke spredtes af en stråle-strøm,
hvordan barnerøster sang imod den unge dag.
Ah, mit øje vorder dunkelt, og min arm er svag;
men i sindet er det lyst, som aldrig før det var,
og min fortids vilde vandring ligger bag mig klar.
Ja, mit liv var uvejrs rasen under natlyns glød;
men en rosenfarvet morgendæmring er min død.
(bøjer sig over hende.)
Du har sjælens mulm forjaget; i mit bryst er ro.
Se, jeg følger dig til lysets og til fredens bo!
(han river dolken raskt ud af sit bryst og siger med døende stemme:)
Morgnens milde magter skuer i forsoning ned;
du har nattens ånd besejret ved din kærlighed!
(Under det sidste optrin har Furia fjernet sig mere og mere mod baggrunden, hvor hun forsvinder mellem træerne. Catilinas hoved synker ned på Aurelias bryst; de dør.)



CATILINE.
[Presses her to himself and speaks with his last strength.]
Oh, how sweet! Now I remember my forgotten dream,
How the darkness was dispersed before a radiant beam,
How the song of children ushered in the new-born day.
Ah, my eye grows dim, my strength is fading fast away;
But my mind is clearer now than ever it has been:
All the wanderings of my life loom plainly up within.
Yes, my life a tempest was beneath the lightning blaze;
But my death is like the morning’s rosy-tinted haze.
[Bends over her.]

CATILINE.
You have driven the gloom away; peace dwells within my breast.
I shall seek with you the dwelling place of light and rest!

CATILINE.
[He tears the dagger quickly out of his breast and speaks with dying voice.]
The gods of dawn are smiling in atonement from above;
All the powers of darkness you have conquered with your love!
[During the last scene FURIA has withdrawn farther and farther into the background and disappears at last among the trees. CATILINE’s head sinks down on AURELIA’s breast; they die.]
