Sej.
Now, my right dear, noble, and trusted friends,
How much I am a captive to your kindness!

Or that it lay within our narrow powers,
To satisfy for so enlarged bounty.

Unquit when morning comes. Saw you the consul?
Min. Trio will presently be here, my lord.

And on this sudden! Senators by letters
Required to be there! who brought these?
Cot. Macro.

Sej.

With every other circumstance, doth give
It hath some strain of engine in't!---How now?
Enter SATRIUS.
