THE CHRISTIAN
I call on you in the name of the Lord—
HELIOGABALUS
[To Lucia] Do you know this gentleman? Who is he, and what does he want?
THE CHRISTIAN
I want you to liberate that poor, innocent girl—that lamb of the Lord.
LUCIA
He is Simon of Cappadocia.
SIMON
[Still roaring] Let her go! Release her from your loathsome embraces!
