Ventidius Quotes in All For Love
Can any Roman see and know him now,
Thus altered from the lord of half mankind,
Unbent, unsinewed, made a woman’s toy,
Shrunk from the vast extent of all his honours,
And cramped within a corner of the world?
But I have lost my reason, have disgraced
The name of soldier with inglorious ease[.]
And I will leave her; though, Heaven knows, I love
Beyond life, conquest, empire, all but honour;
But I will leave her.
My Queen is dead.
I was but great for her; my power, my empire
Were but my merchandise to buy her love,
And conquered kings, my factors.
