Nurse: He will regard his wife.

Octavia: My foe forbids.

Nurse: But she is scorned by all.

Octavia: Yet loved by him.

Nurse: She is not yet his wife.

Octavia: But soon will be,

And mother of his child, his kingdom's heir.

Nurse: The fire of youthful passion glows at first

With heat impetuous; but soon abates,190

And vanishes like flickering tongues of flame.
