Jonson, Ben, 1573-1637

"Sejanus: His Fall"


Mac.
Gracinus Laco,
You are a friend most welcome: by and by,
I'll speak with you.---You must procure this list
Of the praetorian cohorts, with the names
Of the centurions, and their tribunes.
Reg. Ay.
Mac. I bring you letters, and a health from Caesar---
Lac. Sir, both come well.
Mac.
And hear you? with your note,
Which are the eminent men, and most of action.
Reg. That shall be done you too.
Mac.
Most worthy Laco,
Caesar salutes you.--- [Exit Regulus.]
Consul! death and furies!
Gone now!----The argument will please you, sir.
Ho! Regulus! The anger of the gods
Follow your diligent legs, and overtake 'em,
In likeness of the gout!---
[Re-enter REGULUS.
O, my good lord,
We lack'd you present; I would pray you send
Another to Fulcinius Trio, straight,
To tell him you will come, and speak with him:
The matter we'll devise, to stay him there,
While I with Laco do survey the watch. [Exit Regulus.
What are your strengths, Gracinus?
Lac. Seven cohorts.
