Regard the utterances and mandates of age as wisdom
Should I be a man, if I forgot vengeance?
Then hate came; but it did not last long
There is no 'never,' no surely
To the mines meant to be doomed to a slow, torturing death
Voice of the senses, which drew them together, will soon be mute
What had formerly afforded me pleasure now seemed shallow
When hate and revenge speak, gratitude shrinks timidly
Who can prop another's house when his own is falling
Woman's disapproving words were blown away by the wind




CLEOPATRA, by Georg Ebers, v1 [GE#35][ge35v10.txt]5473

Contempt had become too deep for hate
Jealousy has a thousand eyes
Zeus does not hear the vows of lovers




CLEOPATRA, by Georg Ebers, v2 [GE#36][ge36v10.txt]5474

Shadow of the candlestick caught her eye before the light
Soul which ceases to regard death as a misfortune finds peace
