Blind to the moment—you have not been blind.

I watched you from Spoleto setting gins,

I watched you bribe on bribe....

Ay, there you track me,

And I must answer for my wickedness.

I owe my seat to wickedness.

Leave weeping!

There should be pact between us. How your coffers

Are filled I know, and where your heart is lavish,

And what you dream. I kneel before your throne

With faculty

As boundless as a god’s, with strength as supple,

To be your instrument, to win you lands,

To give you rule. You have forbidden me

Your presence: if I pass from it forbidden,

I leave you—up and down to wave your hands

In blessing on the powers you supplicate.

While, if you bid me to your side, I build

An army for the Church; there will be legions....

ALEXANDER.
