About “Cinna”
The text presents impatient desires for illustrious vengeance, born from the death of a father, described as the impetuous children of resentment. The speaker's grief, seduced, embraces this vengeance blindly, acknowledging its powerful hold over the soul, while asking for a moment to breathe and consider both what is being risked and what is being pursued.
