We thank you, reverend Fathers, in their right. If this were true now! but the space, the space Between the breast, and lips— Tiberius heart Lies a thought farther, than another man's. My comforts are so flowing in my joys, As, in them, all my streams of grief are lost, No less than are land-waters in the sea, Or showers in rivers; though their cause was such, As might have sprinkled e'en the gods with tears: Yet since the greater doth embrace the less, We covetously obey. Well acted, CAESAR.) And, now I am the happy witness made Of your so much desired affections, To this great issue, I could wish, the fates Would here set peaceful period to my days; however, to my labours, I entreat (And beg it of this Senate) some fit ease. Laugh, Fathers, laugh: Ha' you no spleens about you?) The burden is too heavy, I sustain On my unwilling shoulders; and I pray It may be taken off, and reconferred Upon the Consuls, or some other Roman, More able, and more worthy. Laugh on, still.) Why, this doth render all the rest suspected! It poisons all. O, do you taste it then? It takes away my faith to any thing He shall hereafter speak. ay, to pray that, Which would be to his head as hot as thunder, (Gainest which he wears that charm) should but the court Receive him at his word Hear. For myself, I know my weakness, and so little covet (Like some gone past) the weight that will oppress me, As my ambition is the counterpoint. Finely maintained; good still.) But Rome, whose blood, Whose nerves, whose life, whose very frame relies On CAESAR'S strength, no less than heaven on ATLAS, Cannot admit it but with general ruin. Ah! are you there, to bring him of?) Let CAESAR No more than urge a point so contrary To Caesar's greatness, the grieved senate's vows, Or Rome's necessity. He comes about. More nimbly than VERTUMNUS.) For the public, I may be drawn, to show, I can neglect All private aims; though I affect my rest: But, if the Senate still command me serve, I must be glad to practise my obedience. You must, and will, sir. We do know it.) CAESAR, live long, and happy, great, and royal CAESAR, The gods preserve thee, and thy modesty, Thy wisdom, and thy innocence. Where is't? The prayer's made before the subject.) Guard His meekness, JOVE, his piety, his care, His bounty— And his subtlety, I'll put in: Yet he'll keep that himself, without the gods. All prayers are vain for him. We will not hold Your patience, Fathers, with long answer; but Shall still contend to be, what you desire, And work to satisfy so great a hope: Proceed to your affairs. Now, Silius, guard thee; The curtain's drawing. advanceth. Silence. Cite CAIUS, Silius. CAIUS Silius. Here.

We thanke you, reuerend Fathers, in their right. If this were true now! but the space, the space Betweene the brest, and lips—TIBERIVS heart Lyes a thought farder, then another mans. My comforts are so flowing in my ioyes, As, in them, all my streames of griefe are lost, No lesse then are land-waters in the sea, Or showres in riuers; though their cause was such, As might haue sprinkled eu'n the gods with teares: Yet since the greater doth embrace the lesse, We couetously obey. Well acted, CAESAR.) And, now I am the happy witnesse made Of your so much desir'd affections, To this great issue, I could wish, the fates Would here set peacefull period to my dayes; How euer, to my labours, I intreat (And beg it of this Senate) some fit ease. Laugh, Fathers, laugh: Ha' you no spleenes about you?) The burden is too heauy, I sustayne On my vnwilling shoulders; and I pray It may be taken off, and re-confer'd Vpon the Consuls, or some other Romane, More able, and more worthy. Laugh on, still.) Why, this doth render all the rest suspected! It poysons all. O, do' you taste it then? It takes away my faith to any thing He shall hereafter speake. I, to pray that, Which would be to his head as hot as thunder, (Gain'st which he weares that charme) should but the court Receiue him at his word Heare. For my selfe, I know my weakenesse, and so little couet (Like some gone past) the waight that will oppresse me, As my ambition is the counter-point. Finely maintain'd; good still.) But Rome, whose bloud, Whose nerues, whose life, whose very frame relyes On CAESAR'S strength, no lesse then heau'n on ATLAS, Cannot admit it but with generall ruine. Ah! are you there, to bring him of?) Let CAESAR No more then vrge a point so contrary To CAESARS greatnesse, the grieu'd Senates vowes, Or Romes necessitie. He comes about. More nimbly then VERTVMNVS.) For the publique, I may be drawne, to shew, I can neglect All priuate aymes; though I affect my rest: But, if the Senate still command me serue, I must be glad to practise my obedience. You must, and will, sir. We doe know it.) CAESAR, Liue long, and happy, great, and royall CAESAR, The gods preserue thee, and thy modestie, Thy wisedome, and thy innocence. Where is't? The prayer's made before the subiect.) Guard His meekenesse, IOVE, his pietie, his care, His bountie— And his subtlety, I'le put in: Yet hee'll keepe that himselfe, without the gods. All prayer's are vaine for him. We will not hold Your patience, Fathers, with long answere; but Shall still contend to be, what you desire, And worke to satisfie so great a hope: Proceed to your affaires.
