SCENE 2.1: / AN APARTMENT IN THE CENCI PALACE. / ENTER LUCRETIA AND BERNARDO.
LUCRETIA: / Weep not, my gentle boy; he struck but me / Who have borne deeper wrongs. In truth, if he / Had killed me, he had done a kinder deed. / O God Almighty, do Thou look upon us, / We have no other friend but only Thee! / Yet weep not; though I love you as my own, / I am not your true mother.
