Jonson, Ben, 1573-1637

"Sejanus: His Fall"


Reg. What's that?
Lac.
The keeping of the watch in arms,
When morning comes.
Mac.
The senate shall be met, and set
So early in the temple, as all mark
Of that shall be avoided.
Reg.
If we need,
We have commission to possess the palace,
Enlarge prince Drusus, and make him our chief.
Mac.
That secret would have burnt his reverend mouth,
Had he not spit it out now: by the gods,
You carry things too---Let me borrow a man
Or two, to bear these---That of freeing Drusus,
Caesar projected as the last and utmost;
Not else to be remember'd.
Enter Servants.
Reg. Here are servants.
Mac.
These to Arruntius, these to Lepidus;
This bear to Cotta, this to Latiaris.
If they demand you of me, say I have ta'en
Fresh horse, and am departed. [Exeunt Servants.
You, my lord,
To your colleague, and be you sure to hold him
With long narration of the new fresh favours,
Meant to Sejanus, his great patron; I,
With trusted Laco, here, are for the guards:
Then to divide. For, night hath many eyes,
Whereof, though most do sleep, yet some are spies.
