Take him hence;
And all the gods guard Caesar!
Tri. Take him hence.
Hat. Hence.
Cot. To the dungeon with him.
San. He deserves it.
Sen. Crown all our doors with bays.
San.
And let an ox,
With gilded horns and garlands, straight be led
Unto the Capitol---
Hat.
And sacrificed
To Jove, for Caesar's safety.
Tri.
All our gods
Be present still to Caesar!
Cot. Phoebus.
San. Mars.
Hat. Diana.
San. Pallas.
Sen.
Juno, Mercury,
All guard him!
Mac. Forth, thou prodigy of men! [Exit Sejanus, guarded.
Cot. Let all the traitor's titles be defaced.
Tri. His images and statues be pull'd down.
Hat. His chariot-wheels be broken.
Arr.
And the legs
Of the poor horses, that deseryed nought,
Let them be broken too!
[Exeunt Lictors, Praecones, Macro, Regulus, Trio,
Haterius, and Sanquinius: manent Lepidus, Arruntius,
and a few Senators.
Lep.
O violent change,
And whirl of men's affections!
Arr.
Like, as both
Their bulks and souls were bound on Fortune's wheel,
And must act only with her motion.
Lep.
