Scene 3.9

J

What! is our Councell broke up first?

W

You say,

Women are greatest talkers.

J

We have done;

And are now fit for action.

E

Which is passion.

There is your best actiuity, Lady.

J

How

Knowes your wise fatnesse that?

E

Your Mothers daughter

Did teach me, Madam.

C

Come Sempronia, leaue him:

He is a Giber. And our present businesse Is of more serious consequence. Aurelia Tells me, you have done most masculinely within, And plaid the Orator.

W

But we must hasten

To our designe as well, and execute: Not hang still, in the feuer of an accident.

A

You say well, Lady.

J

I do like our plot

Exceeding well, it is sure; and we shall leaue Little to fortune, in it.

A

Your banquet stayes.

Aurelia take her in. Where is Fuluia?

J

O the two Louers are coupling.

D

In good faith,

She is very ill, with sitting up.

J

You would have her

Laugh, and lie downe.

I

No, faith, Sempronia,

I am not well; I will take my leaue, it drawes Toward the morning. Curius shall stay with you.

Madam, I pray you pardon me, my health I must respect.

W

Farewell, good Fuluia.

D

Make hast, and bid him get his guards about him.

For Vargunteius, and Cornelius

Have vndertane it, should Cethegus misse: Their reason, that they think his open rashnesse Will suffer easier discouerie,

Then their attempt; so vailed vnder friendship.

I will bring you to your Coach. Tell him, beside, Of Cæsars comming forth, here.

A

My sweete Madam,

Will you be gone?

I

I am, my Lord, in truth,

In some indisposition.

A

I do wish

You had all your health, sweet Lady. Lentulus,

You will do her seruice.

B

To her coach, and duty.
