ay, that Troubles me somewhat, and is worth my fear; He is a man, against whom I must provide, That (as he'll do no good) he do no harm; He, though he be not of the plot, will like it, And wish it should proceed; for, unto men, priest with their wants, all change is ever welcome. I must with offices, and patience win him; Make him, by art, that which he is not borne, A friend unto the public; and bestow The Province on him; which is by the Senate Decreed to me: That benefit will bind him. 'tis well, if some men will do well, for price; So few are virtuous, when the reward's away: Nor must I be unmindful of my private; For which I have called my Brother, and the Tribunes, My Kinsfolk, and my Clients to be near me; He that stands up against Traitors, and their ends, Shall need a double guard, of law, and friends: Especially, in such an envious State, That sooner will accuse the Magistrate, Then the Delinquent; and will rather grieve The Treason is not acted, then believe. THe night grows on; and you are for your meeting: I'll therefore end in few. Be resolute, And put your enterprise in act: The more Actions of depth, and danger are considered, The less assuredly they are performed. And thence it happeneth, that the bravest plots (Not executed strait) have been discovered. Say, you are constant, or another, a third, Or more; there may be yet one wretched spirit, With whom the fear of punishment shall work 'bove all the thoughts of honour, and revenge. You are not, now, to think what's best to do, As in beginnings; but, what must be done, Being thus entered: and slip no advantage That may secure you.

Nor must you think of peril; since," Attempts, Begun with danger, still do end with glory: And, when need spurs, despair will be called wisdom. Less ought the care of men, or fame to fright you; For they, that win, do seldom receive shame Of victory: how ere it be achieved; And vengeance, lest. For who, besieged with wants, Would stop at death, or any thing beyond it? Come, there was never any great thing thing, yet, Aspired, but by violence, or fraud: And he that sticks (for folly of a conscience) To reach it—. Is a good religious fool. A superstitious slave, and will die beast. Good night. You know what Crassus thinks, and I, By this: Prepare you wings, as large as sails, To cut through air, and leave no print behind you. A Serpent, ere he comes to be a Dragon, Does eat a Bat: and so must you a Consul, That watches. What you do, do quickly Sergius. You shall not stir for me.
