Pierre Corneille : Rodogune
'Rodogune 1646. Despite indistinct and I believe undistinguished diction, this is the most moving and exciting play of Corneille I've struck [...] Antiochus and Seleucus are devoted to each other, and there it is; their love for Rod[[ogune]. and the commands of Cleopatre doesn't contend with their devotion'.
