You hear, Sejanus is come back from CAESAR? No. How? Disgraced? More graced now, then ever. By what mischance? A fortune, like enough Once to be bad. But turned too good, to both. What was't? Tiberius sitting at his meat, In a farm house, they call Spelunca, sited By the seaside, among the Fundane hills, Within a natural cave, part of the grot (About the entry) fell, and over-whelm'd Some of the waiters; others ran away: Only Sejanus, with his knees, hands, face, O'erhanging CAESAR, did oppose himself To the remaining ruins, and was found In that so labouring posture, by the soldiers That came to succour him. With which adventure, He hath so sixth himself in CAESAR'S trust, As thunder cannot move him, and is come With all the height of CAESARS praise, to Rome. And power, to turn those ruins all on us; And bury whole posterities beneath them. NERO, and Drusus, and Caligula, Your places are the next, and therefore most In their offence. think on your birth, and blood, Awake your spirits, meet their violence, 'Tis princely, when a tyrant doth oppose; And is a fortune sent to exercise Your virtue, as the wind doth try strong trees: Who by vexation grow more sound, and firm. After your father's fall, and uncles fate, What can you hope, but all the change of stroke That force, or slight can give? then stand upright; And though you do not act, yet suffer nobly: Be worthy of my womb, and take strong cheer; What we do know will come, we should not fear. Returned so soon? renewed in trust, and grace? Is CAESAR then so weak? or hath the place But wrought this alteration, with the air; And he, on next remove, will all repair? MACRO, thou art engaged: and what before Was public; now, must be thy private, more. The weal of CAESAR, fitness did imply; But thine own fate confers necessity On thy employment: and the thoughts borne nearest Unto ourselves, move swiftest still, and dearest. If he recover, thou art lost: yea, all The weight of preparation to his fall Will turn on thee, and crush thee. Therefore, strike Before he settle, to prevent the like Upon thyself. He doth his vantage know, That makes it home, and gives the foremost blow. IT is a service, great Sejanus will See well requited, and accept of nobly. Here place yourselves, between the roof, and seeling, And when I bring him to his words of danger, reveal yourselves, and take him. Is he come? I'll now go fetch him. With good speed. I long To merit from the state, in such an action. I hope, it will obtain the Consul-ship For one of us. We cannot think of less, To bring in one, so dangerous as Sabinus. He was a follower of Germanicus, And still is an observer of his wife, And children, though they be declined in grace; A daily visitant, keeps them company In private, and in public; and is noted To be the only client, of the house: Pray IOVE, he will be free to LATIARIS.

You heare, SEIANVS is come backe from CAESAR? No. How? Disgrac'd? More graced now, then euer. By what mischance? A fortune, like inough Once to be bad. But turn'd too good, to both. What was't? TIBERIVS sitting at his meat, In a farme house, they call Spelunca, sited By the sea-side, among the Fundane hills, Within a naturall caue, part of the grot (About the entrie) fell, and ouer-whelm'd Some of the wayters; others ran away: Only SEIANVS, with his knees, hands, face, Ore-hanging CAESAR, did oppose himselfe To the remayning ruines, and was found In that so labouring posture, by the souldiers That came to succour him. With which aduenture, He hath so sixt himselfe in CAESAR'S trust, As thunder cannot mooue him, and is come With all the height of CAESARS praise, to Rome. And power, to turne those ruines all on vs; And bury whole posterities beneath them. NERO, and DRVSVS, and CALIGVLA, Your places are the next, and therefore most In their offence. Thinke on your birth, and bloud, Awake your spirits, meete their violence, 'Tis princely, when a tyran doth oppose; And is a fortune sent to exercise Your vertue, as the wind doth trie strong trees: Who by vexation grow more sound, and firme. After your fathers fall, and vncles fate, What can you hope, but all the change of stroke That force, or slight can giue? then stand vpright; And though you doe not act, yet suffer nobly: Be worthy of my wombe, and take strong cheare; What we doe know will come, we should not feare. REturn'd so soone? renew'd in trust, and grace? Is CAESAR then so weake? or hath the place But wrought this alteration, with the aire; And he, on next remoue, will all repaire? MACRO, thou art ingag'd: and what before Was publique; now, must be thy priuate, more. The weale of CAESAR, fitnesse did imply; But thine owne fate confers necessity On thy employment: and the thoughts borne nearest Vnto our selues, moue swiftest still, and dearest.

I long To merit from the state, in such an action. I hope, it will obtayne the Consul-ship For one of vs. We cannot thinke of lesse, To bring in one, so dangerous as SABINVS. He was a follower of GERMANICVS, And still is an obseruer of his wife, And children, though they be declin'd in grace; A daily visitant, keepes them companie In priuate, and in publique; and is noted To be the only client, of the house: Pray IOVE, he will be free to LATIARIS.
