Fortunatus: There lies the body. The face is not like the face of a corpse. The limbs show no sign of decay. You can take her to your heart.
Callimachus: O Drusiana, Drusiana, I worshipped you with my whole soul! I yearned from my very bowels to embrace you! And you repulsed me, and thwarted my desire. Now you are in my power, now I can wound you with my kisses, and pour out my love on you.
