I,1
Enter ELPIDIUS MARULLUS tribun of the people and PORTIA, Marcus Brutus's wife, over the stage
PORTIA: Ave, I am saying hello to you. I am seeing the person I saw years ago.
MARULLUS: Ave, I see the girl at that time. I see you are the girl you were.
PORTIA: Have you regrets? Have you feelings of guilty?
MARULLUS: I shall manage everything at the right moment.
PORTIA: Somebody thinks he himself will manage it. There are dark presages in the air.
MARULLUS: I have given up the idea of bringing in bills. I attend to mysteries with more pleasure.
PORTIA: So you have changed your mind. Once you thought you should have changed Rome.
MARULLUS: Really?
PORTIA: It is change time. Only the dictator does not realize it. He has not made up his mind, is alone.
MARULLUS: He is a man. His days can end.
PORTIA: Roman woman must abide the republic.
MARULLUS: I would like to hold fast to my girl.
Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello
