Scene 4.4

A

False to our selues? All our designes discouer'd To this State-Cat?

C

Aye, had I had my way,

He had mew'd in flames, at home, not in the Senate: I had sing'd his furres, by this time.

A

Well, there is, now,

No time of calling backe, or standing still.

Friends, be your selues; keepe the same Roman hearts, And ready minds, you had yesternight: Prepare To execute, what we resolu'd. And let not Labor, or danger, or discouery fright you.

I will to the army: you (the while) mature Things, here, at home. Draw to you any aides, That you think fit, of men of all conditions, Or any fortunes, that may helpe a warre.

I will bleede a life, or winne an Empire for you.

Within these few dayes, looke to see my ensignes, Here, at the walles: Be you but firme within.

Meane time, to draw an enuy on the Consull, And give a lesse suspicion of our course, Let it be giuen out, here in the Citty, That I am gone, an innocent man, to exile, Into Massilia, willing to give way To fortune, and the times; being vnable To stand so great a faction, without troubling The Common-wealth: whose peace I rather seeke, Then all the glory of contention, Or the support of mine owne innocence.

Farewell the noble Lentulus, Longinus, Curius, the rest; and thou, my better Genius,

The braue Cethegus: when we meete againe, We will sacrifice to Liberty.

C

And Reuenge.

That we may praise our hands once.

B

O you Fates,

Give Fortune now her eyes, to see with whom She goes along, that she may nere forsake him.

D

He needs not her, nor them. Goe but on, Sergius.

`À valiant man is his owne Fate, and Fortune.

E

The Fate, and Fortune of us all goe with him.

X

And euer guard him.

A

I am all your Creature.

B

Now friends, it is left with us. I have already Dealt, by Vmbrenus, with the Allobroges, Here resiant in Rome; whose State, I heare, Is discontent with the great vsuries, They are oppress'd with: and have made complaints Diuers, vnto the Senate, but all vaine.

These men, I have thought, both for their owne oppressions, As also that, by nature, they are a people Warlike, and fierce, still watching after change, And now, in present hatred with our State, The fittest, and the easiest to be drawne To our society, and to aide the warre.

The rather, for their seate: being next bordrers On Italie: and that they abound with horse, Of which one want our Campe doth only labor.

And I have found them comming. They will meete Soone at Sempronia's house, where I would pray you All to be present, to confirme them more.

The sight of such spirits hurt not, nor the store.

W

I will not Faile.

Nor I.

D

Nor I.

C

Would I

Had somewhat by my selfe, apart, to do.

I have no genius to these many counsels.

Let me kill all the Senate, for my share, I will do it at the next sitting.

B

Worthy Caius,

Your presence will adde much.

C

I shall marre more.
