Shall you, from prayer?
To-night you look a sibyl.
Who did this deed?

LUCREZIA.

Let Juan play the lute;
You must have music through these restless nights.
How lost you look!

CESARE.

You startled me. How lost!

[He closes his eyes.

LUCREZIA.

[Stealing away to Adriana.] He is dreaming; he has quite forgotten me.
Come, Adriana, soft! As an astronomer
He must not be disturbed: he is quite lost.
