Dido:
Now Dido, with these reliques burne thy selfe,
And make Æneas famous through the world,
And make Æneas famous through the world,
For perjurie and slaughter of a Queene:
Here lye the Sword that in the darksome Cave
He drew, and swore by to be true to me,
Thou shalt burne first, thy crime is worse then his;
Here lye the garments which I cloath'd him in,
When first he came on shoare, perish thou to:
Thou shalt burne first, thy crime is worse then his;
Here lye the garments which I cloath'd him in,
When first he came on shoare, perish thou to:
These letters, lines, and perjurd papers all,
Shall burne to cinders in this pretious flame.
And now ye gods that guide the starrie frame,
And order all things at your high dispose,
Graunt, though the traytors land in Italy,
Shall burne to cinders in this pretious flame.
And now ye gods that guide the starrie frame,
And order all things at your high dispose,
Graunt, though the traytors land in Italy,
They may be still tormented with unrest,
And from mine ashes let a Conquerour rise,
That may revenge this treason to a Queene,
By plowing up his Countries with the Sword:
And from mine ashes let a Conquerour rise,
That may revenge this treason to a Queene,
By plowing up his Countries with the Sword:
Betwixt this land and that be never league,
Littor littoribus contraria, fluctibus undas
Imprecor: arma armis: pugnent ipsíque nepotes:
Live false Æneas, truest Dido dyes,
Littor littoribus contraria, fluctibus undas
Imprecor: arma armis: pugnent ipsíque nepotes:
Live false Æneas, truest Dido dyes,
Sic sic juvat ire sub umbras.
[Throws herself into the flames.]
– Christopher Marlowe, Dido, Queene of Carthage, act V, scene i (1594)
