I Cannot fear the war but to succeed well, Both for the honour of the cause, and worth Of him that doth command. For my Colleague, Being so ill affected with the gout, Will not be able to be there in person; And then Petreius, his Lieutenant, must Of need take charge o'the army: who is much The better soldier, having been a Tribune, Perfect, Lieutenant, Praetor in the war, These thirty years, so conversant i' the army, As he knows all the soldiers, by their names. They'll fight then, bravely, with him. ay, and he Will lead 'em on, as bravely. They'haue a foe Will ask their braveries, whose necessities Will arm him like a fury. But, how ever, I'll trust it to the manage, and the fortune Of good Petreius, who's a worthy Patriot. Metellus Celer, with three Legions, too, Will stop their course, for Gallia. How now, Fabius? The train hath taken. You must instantly Dispose your guards upon the Miluian bridge: For, by that way, they mean to come. Then, thither Pomtinius, and Flaccus, I must pray you To lead that force you have; and seize them all: Let not a person scape. Th'ambassadors Will yield themselves. If there be any tumult I'll send you aid. ay, in mean time will call Lentulus to me, Gabinius, and Cethegus, Statilius, Ceparius, and all these By several messengers: who no doubt will come, Without sense, or suspicion." Prodigal men Feel not their own stock wasting. When I have 'em, I'll place those guards, upon 'em, that they start not, But what'll you do with Sempronia? A State Should not take knowledge either of Fools, or Women. I do not know whether my joy or care Ought to be greater; that I have discovered So foul a treason: or must undergo The envy of so many great men's fate. But, happen what there can, I will be just, My fortune may forsake me, not my virtue: That shall go with me, and before me, still, And glad me, doing well, though I hear ill. Stand, who goes there? We are th' Allobroges, And friends of Rome. If you be so, then yield Yourselves unto the Praetors, who in name Of the whole Senate, and the people of Rome, Yet, till you clear you selves, charge you of practice Against the State. Die friends, and be not taken. What voice is that? Down with 'em all. We yield. What's he stands out? Kill him there. Hold, hold, hold. I yield upon conditions. We give none To traitors, strike him down. My name's Volturtius: I know Pomtinius. But he knows not you, While you stand out upon these traitorous terms. I'll yield upon the safety of my life. If it be forfeited, we cannot save it. Promise to do your best. I'm not so guilty, As many others, I can name; and will: If you will grant me favour. All we can Is to deliver you to the Consul. Take him, And thank the Gods, that thus have saved Rome.
