Nay, had it without hazard; all the Court Had for him been, and those disclosed their love, And favour in the cause, which now to hide, And colour their good meanings ready were To show their forwardness against it most. But for a stranger with a naked province, Without allies, or friends i'th' state to challenge A Prince upheld with thirty Legions Rooted in four descents of Ancestors, And fourteen years' continuance of reign, Why it is— Galba and Spain, what Spain and Galba too? I pray thee Tigellinus, what fury's this? What strange event, what accident hath thus o'ercast your countenances? Down we were set at table, and began With sparkling bowls to chase our fears away, And mirth and pleasure looked out of our eyes; When lo a breathless messenger comes in And tells how Vindex, and the powers of France Have Segius Galba chosen Emperor, With what applause the Legions him receive, That Spain's revolted; Portingale hath joined; As much suspected is of Germany; But Nero, not abiding out the end, o'erthrew the tables, dashed against the ground The cup which he so much you know esteemed; Teareth his hair, and with incensed rage Curseth false men, and Gods the lookers on. His rage we saw was wild and desperate. O you unsearched wisdoms, which do laugh, At our security, and fears alike; And plain to show our weakness, and your power Make us contemn the harms, which surest strike When you our glories, and our pride undo, Our overthrow you make ridiculous too. Slow making counsels, and the sliding year Have brought me to the long foreseen destruction Of this misled young man; his State is shaken, And I will push it on; revolted France; Nor the coniured Provinces of Spain, Nor his own guilt, shall like to me oppress him; I to his easy yielding fears proclaim New German mutines, and all the world Rousing itself in hate of Nero's name; I his distracted counsels do disperse With fresh despairs, I animate the Senate And the people, to engage them past recall In prejudice of Nero, and in brief, Perish he must, the fates and I resolve it; Which to effect, I presently will go, Proclaim a Donative in Galba's name. Yonder's Nimphidius our Commander, now, I with respect must speak, and smooth my brow; Captain all hail. Antoneus well met, Your place of Tribune in this Anarchi. This Anarchy my Lord, is Nero dead? This Anarchy, this yet unstilled time, While Galba is un eased of the Empire Which Nero hath forsook. Hath Nero then resigned the Empire? In effect he hath, for he's fled to Egypt. My Lord you tell strange news to me, But nothing strange to me, Who every moment, knew of his despairs, The Curriers came so fast with fresh alarms Of new revolts, that he unable quite To bear his fears, which he had long concealed, Is now revolted from himself, and fled.

Nay, had it without hazard; all the Court Had for him bin, and thoſe diſclos'd their loue, And fauour in the cauſe, which now to hide, And colour their good meanings ready were To ſhew their forwardneſſe againſt it moſt. But for a ſtranger with a naked prouince, Without allies, or friends ith' ſtae to challenge A Prince vpheld with thirty Legions Rooted in foure diſcents of Anceſtors, And foureteene yeares continuance of raigne, Why it is — Galba and Spaine, what Spaine and Gala too? I pray thee Tigellinus, what furie's this? What ſtrange euent, what accident hath thus Orecaſt your countenances? Downe we were ſet at table, and began With ſparckling bowles to chaſe our feares away, And mirth and pleaſure lookt out of our eyes; When loe a breathleſſe meſſenger comes in And tells how Vindex, and the powers of France Haue Segius Galba choſen Emperor, With what applauſe the Legions him receiue, That Spaines reuolted; Portingale hath ioyn'd; As much ſuſpected is of Germany; But Nero, not abiding out the end, Orethrew the tables, daſht againſt the ground The cuppe which he ſo much you know eſteem'd; Teareth his haire, and with incenſed rage Curſeth falſe men, and Gods the lookers on. His rage we ſaw was wild and deſperate. O you vnſearched wiſedomes, which doe laugh, At our ſecuritie, and feares alike; And plaine to ſhew our weakeneſſe, and your power Make vs contemne the harmes, which ſureſt ſtrike When you our glories, and our pride vndoe, Our ouerthrow you make rediculous too. Slow making counſels, and the ſliding yeere Haue brought me to the long foreſeene deſtruction Of this miſled yong man; his State is ſhaken, And I will puſh it on; reuolted France; Nor the coniured Prouinces of Spaine, Nor his owne guilt, ſhall like to me oppreſſe him; I to his eaſie yeelding feares proclaime New German mutenys, and all the world Rowſing it ſelfe in hate of Neroes name; I his diſtracted counſels doe diſperce With freſh deſpaires, I animate the Senate And the people, to ingage them paſt recall In preiudice of Nero, and in briefe, Periſh he muſt, the fates and I reſolue it; Which to effect, I preſently will goe, Proclaime a Donatiue in Galbaes name. Yonders Nimphidius our Commander, now, I with reſpect muſt ſpeake, and ſmooth my brow; Captaine all aile. Antoneus well met, Your place of Tribune in this Anarchi. This Anarchy my Lord, i Nero dead? This Anarchy, this yet vnſtiled time, While Galba is vn eaſed of the Empire Which Nero hh forſooke. Hath Nero then reſign'd the Empire? In effect he hath, for he's fled to Egypt. My Lord you tell ſtrange newes to me, But nothing ſtrange to mee, Who euery moment, knew of his deſpaires, The Curriers came ſo faſt with freſh alarmes Of new reuolts, that he vnable quite To beare his feares, which he had long conceal'd, Is now reuoulted from himſelfe, and fled.
