Pomponius! whither in such speed? I go To give my lord Sejanus notice— What? Of MACRO. Is he come? Entered but now The house of Regulus. The opposite Consul? Some half hour since. And, by night too! stay, sir; I'll bear you company. Along, then— 'tIs Caesar's will, to have a frequent Senate. And therefore must your edict lie deep mulct On such, as shall be absent. So it doth. Bear it my fellow Consul to ascribe. And tell him it must early be proclaimed; The place, APOLLO'S temple. That's remembered. And at what hour? Yes. You do forget To send one for the Provost of the watch? I have not: here he comes. GRACINUS LACO, You're a friend most welcome: by, and by, I'll speak with you. (You must procure this list Of the Praetorian cohorts, with the names Of the Centurions, and their Tribunes. I.) I bring you letters, and a health from CAESAR— Sir, both come well. (And hear you, with your note, Which are the eminent men, and most of action. That shall be done you too.) Most worthy LACO, CAESAR salutes you. (Consul! death, and furies! Gone now?) the argument will please you, sir. (Hough! Regulus? The anger of the gods Follow his diligent legs, and overtake 'em, In likeness of the gout.) O, good my lord, We lacked you present; I would pray you send Another to Fulcinius TRIO, straight, To tell him, you will come, and speak with him: (The matter we'll devise) to stay him, there, While I, with LACO, do survey the watch. What are your strengths, GRACINUS? Seven cohorts. You see, what CAESAR writes: and (— gone again? H'has sure a vein of mercury in his feet) Knew you, what store of the praetorian soldiers Sejanus holds, about him, for his guard? I cannot the just number: but, I think, Three centuries. Three? good. At most, not four. And who be those Centurions? That the Consul Can best deliver you. (When he's away: Spite, on his nimble industry.) GRACINUS, You find what place you hold, there, in the trust Of royal CAESAR? ay, and I am— Sir, The honours, there proposed, are but beginnings Of his great favours. They are more— I heard him When he did study, what to add— My life, And all I hold— You were his own first choice; Which doth confirm as much, as you can speak: And will (if we succeed) make more— Your guards Are seven cohorts, you say? Yes. Those we must Hold still in readiness, and undischarged. I understand so much. But how it can— Be done without suspicion, you'll object? What's that? The keeping of the watch in arms, When morning comes. The Senate shall be met, and set So early, in the temple, as all mark Of that will be avoided. If we need, We have commission, to possess the palace, Enlarge prince Drusus, and make him our chief.
