Jonson, Ben, 1573-1637

"Sejanus: His Fall"


Arr.
How easily
Do wretched men believe, what they would have!
Looks this like plot?
Lep. Noble Arruntius, stay.
Lac. He names him here without his titles.
Lep. Note!
Arr. Yes, and come off your notable fool. I will
Lac. No other than Sejanus.
Pom.
That's but haste
In him that writes: here he gives large amends.
Mar. And with his own hand written?
Pom. Yes.
Lac. Indeed?
Ter.
Believe it, gentlemen, Sejanus' breast
Never received more full contentments in,
Than at this present.
Pom.
Takes he well the escape
Of young Caligula, with Macro?
Ter.
Faith,
At the first air it somewhat troubled him.
Lep. Observe you?
Arr.
Nothing; riddles. Till I see
Sejanus struck, no sound thereof strikes me.
[Exeunt Arrun. and Lepidus.
Pom.
I like it not. I muse he would not attempt
Somewhat against him in the consulship,
Seeing the people 'gin to favour him.
Ter.
He doth repent it now; but he has employ'd
Pagonianus after him: and he holds
That correspondence there, with all that are
Near about Caesar, as no thought can pass
Without his knowledge, thence in act to front him.
