It ought. Let it be added to our Fasti. What tumult's that? Here's one Tarqvinius taken, Going to Catiline; and says he was sent By Marcus Crassus: whom he names, to be Guilty of the conspiracy. Some lying varlet. Take him away, to prison. Bring him in, And let me see him. He is not worth it, Crassus. Keep him up close, and hungry, till he tell, By whose pernicious counsel, he durst slander So great, and good a Citizen. By yours I fear, 'twill prove. Some o'the Traitors, sure, To give their action the more credit, bid him Name you, or any man. I know myself, By all the tracts, and courses of this business, Crassus is noble, just, and loves his Country. Here is a Libel too, accusing Caesar, From Lucius Vectius, and confirmed by Curius. Away with all, throw'it out o'the Court. A trick on me, too? It is some men's malice. I said to Curius, I did not believe him. Was not that Curius your spy, that had Reward decreed unto him, the last Senate, With Fulvia, upon your private motion? Yes. But he has not that reward, yet? No. Let not this trouble you, Caesar, none believes it. It shall not, if that he have no reward. But if he have, sure I shall think myself Very untimely, and unsafely honest, Where such, as he is, may have pay t'accuse me. You shall have no wrong done you, noble Caesar, But all contentment. Consul, I am silent. I Never yet knew, Soldiers, that, in fight, Words added virtue unto valiant men; Or, that a General's oration made An Army fall, or stand: But how much prowess Habitual, or natural each man's breast Was owner of, so much in act it showed. Whom neither glory ' or danger can excite 'tis vain t'attempt with speech: For the minds fear Keeps all brave sounds from entering at that ear. ay, yet, would warn you some few things, my Friends, And give you reason of my present counsels. You know, no less than I, what state, what point Our affairs stand in; And you all have heard, What a calamitous misery the sloth, And sleepiness of Lentulus, hath plucked Both on himself, and us: How, whilst our aids There, in the City looked for, are defeated, Our entrance into Gallia, too, is stopped. Two Armies wait us: One from Rome, the other From the Gaule-provinces. And, where we are, (Although I most desire it) the great want Of corn, and victual, forbids longer stay. So that, of need, we must remove, but whither The sword must both direct, and cut the passage. I only, therefore, wish you, when you strike, To have your valours, and your souls, about you; And think, you carry in your labouring hands The things, you seek, glory, and liberty, Your Country, which you want now, with the Fates, That are to be instructed, by our swords. If we can give the blow, all will be safe to'vs.

It ought. Let it be added to our Fasti. VVhat tumult's that? Here's one Tarquinius taken, Going to Catiline; and sayes he was sent By Marcus Crassus: whom he names, to be Guilty of the conspiracy. Some lying varlet. Take him away, to prison. Bring him in, And let me see him. He is not worth it, Crassus. Keepe him vp close, and hungry, till he tell, By whose pernicious counsell, he durst slander So great, and good a Citizen. By yours I feare, 'twill proue. Some o'the Traytors, sure, To giue their action the more credit, bid him Name you, or any man. I know my selfe, By all the tracts, and courses of this businesse, Crassus is noble, iust, and loues his Countrey. Here is a Libell too, accusng Caesar, From Lucius Vectius, and confirm'd by Curius. Away with all, throw'it out o'the Court. A tricke on me, too? It is some mens malice. I said to Curius, I did not beleeue him. Was not that Curius your spie, that had Reward decreed vnto him, the last Senate, With Fuluia, vpon your priuate motion? Yes. But he has not that reward, yet? No. Let not this trouble you, Caesar, none beleeues it. It shall not, if that he haue no reward. But if he haue, sure I shall thinke my selfe Very vntimely, and vnsafely hest, Where such, as he is, may haue pay t'accuse me. You shall haue no wrong done you, noble Caesar, But all contentment. Consul, I am silent. I Neuer yet knew, Souldiers, that, in fight, VVords added vertue vnto valiant men; Or, that a Generals oration made An Army fall, or stand: But how much prowesse Habituall, or naturall each mans breast VVas owner of, so much in act it shew'd.
