Line 56:
===Act 2===
Rome continues to press for Alessandro to marry Selene now that Berenice has refused him, but the Queen insists this is impossible, since Selene is now betrothed to ArbaceArsace. Berenice is warned this will mean war with Rome. Selene explains to Demetrio that she has no desire to wed Arbace but has no choice in the matter. Demetrio wants to kill Arbace in revenge. ArbaceArsace offers to yield Selene to Alessandro to avert war, but Alessandro has no interest in marrying anyone but his beloved Berenice. The Queen overhears the man she loves, Demetrio, ranting and raving to his sweetheart, her sister Selene, about how he never cared a bit for the Queen and in fact is plotting her overthrow, and Berenice orders Demetrio thrown into the dungeon.
