Now is the time! I shall discharge the debt.

Glorious tidings come from out the East!

And Mithridates hurries aid to us—

Let not that goblet fall I pray thee, friend!—

Ah! Dog and traitor! So this was your end!

Guards! Guards!—I think you will not rise again,

Perpenna, from that blow! Guards! Ho there, men!

A-a-ah! Thank you, Pompey! No, you will not take

Me back to grace your triumph: they have done

Their work too well, your friends. My sands are run.
