you please Wee 'l be prepar'd to enter Sir the Emperour Exit Paris Enter Caesar Arctinus Guard Caes. Repine at vs Aret. T is more or my informers That keepe strict watch vpon him are deceiu'd In their intelligence there is a list Of malecontents as Iunius Rusticus Palphurius Sura and this AElius Lamia That murmure at your triumphs as meere Pageants And at their midnight meetings tax your iustice For so I stile what they call tyrannie For Paetus Thrasea's death as if in him Vertue her selfe were murther'd nor forget they Agricola who for his seruice done In the reducing Britanie to obedience They dare affirme to be remou'd with poyson And he compeld to write you a cohaeyre With his daughter that his testament might stand Which else you had made void Then your much loue To Iulia your neece censur'd as incest And done in scorne of Titus your dead brother But the divorce Lamia was forc'd to signe To her you honour with Augusta's title Being onely nam'd they doe conclude there was A Lucrece once a Collatine and a Brutus But nothing Roman left now but in you The lust of Tarquin Caes. Yes His fire and scorne Of such as thinke that our vnlimited power Can be confin'd dares Lamia pretend An interest to that which I call mine Or but remember she was euer his That 's now in our possession fetch him hither The Gard goe of I 'll giue him cause to wish he rather had Forgot his owne name then e're mention'd hers Shall we be circumscrib'd let such as cannot By force make good their actions though wicked Conceale excuse or qualifie their crimes What our desires grant leaue and priuiledge to Though contradicting all divine decrees Or lawes confirm'd by Romulus and Numa Shall be held sacred Aret. You should else take from The dignitie of Caesar Caes. Am I master Of two and thirtie Legions that awe All Nations of the triumphed world Yet tremble at our frowne yeeld an accompt Of what 's our pleasure to a priuate man Rome perish first and Atlas shoulders shrinke Heav'ns fabrique fall the Sunne the Moone the Stars Loosing their light and comfortable heate Ere I confesse that any fault of mine May be disputed Aret. So you preserue your power As you should equall and omnipotent heere With Iupiters aboue Parthenius kneeling whispers to Caesar Caes. Thy suite is granted What ere it be Parthenius for thy seruice Done to Augusta Onely so a trifle Command him hither If the Comedie faile To cure him I will minister something to him That shall instruct him to forget his gold And thinke vpon himselfe Parth. May it succeed well Since my intents are pious Exit Parthenius Caes. We are resolu'd What course to take and therefore Aretinus Inquire no farther Goe you to my Empresse And say I doe entreate for she rules him Whom all men else obey she would vouchsafe The musicke of her voice at yonder window When I aduance my hand thus I will blend Exit Aretinus My crueltie with some scorne or else t is lost Reuenge when it is vnexpected falling With greater violence and hate clothed in smiles Strikes and with horror dead the wretch that comes not Prepar'd to meete it Our good Lamia welcome Enter Lamia with the Guard So much we owe you for a benefit With willingnes on your part conferd vpon vs That 't is our studie we that would not liue Ingag'd to any for a courtesie How to returne it Lam. 'T is beneath your fate To be oblig'd that in your owne hand graspe The meanes to be magnificent Caes. Well put off But yet it must not doe the Empire Lamia Diuided equally can hold no waight If ballanc'd with your guift in faire Domitia You that could part with all delights at once The magazine of rich pleasures being contain'd In her perfections vncompell'd deliuer'd As a Present fit for Caesar In your eyes With teares of ioy not sorrow 't is confirm'd You glory in your act Lam. Derided too Sir this is more Caes. More then I can requite It is acknowledg'd Lamia There 's no drop Of melting nectar I tast from her lippe But yeeldes a touch of immortalitie To the blest receiuer euery grace and feature Priz'd to the worth bought at an easie rate If purchas'd for a Consulship Her discourse So rauishing and her action so attractiue That I would part with all my other senses Prouided I might euer see and heare her The pleasures of her bed I dare not trust The windes or ayre with for that would draw downe In enuie of my happinesse a warre From all the Gods vpon mee Lam. Your compassion To me is your forbearing to insult On my calamitie which you make your sport Would more appease those Gods you haue prouok'd Then all the blasphemous comparisons You sing vnto her praise Caes. I sing her praise 'T is farre from my ambition to hope it Musicke aboue and a song It being a debt she onely can lay downe And no tongue else discharge Harke I thinke prompted With my consent that you once more should heare her She does begin An vniuersall silence Dwell on this place 'T is death with lingring torments To all that dare disturbe her Who can heare this The song ended Caesar goe on And falls not downe and worships in my fancie Apollo being iudge on Latinos hill Faire hayr'd Calliope on her iuorie Lute But something short of this sung Ceres prayses And grieslie Pluto's rape on Proserpine The motion of the Spheares are out of time Her musicall notes but heard Say Lamia say Is not her voice Angelicall Lam. To your eare But I alas am silent Caes. Bee so euer That without admiration canst heare her Malice to my felicitie strikes thee dumbe And in thy hope or wish to repossesse What I loue more then Empire I pronounce thee Guiltie of treason Off with his head Doe you stare By her that is my Patronesse Minerua Whose Statue I adore of all the Gods If he but liue to make reply thy life The Guard lead off Lamia slopping his mouth Shal answer it My feares of him are freed now And he that liu'd to vpbraid me with my wrong For an offence he neuer could imagine In wantonnes remou'd Descend my dearest Plurality of husbands shall no more Breede doubts or iealousies in you 'T is dispatch'd And with as little trouble heere as if I had kild a flye Now you appeare and in Enter Domitia vsherd in by Aretinus her traine with all state borne vp by Iulia Caenis and Domitilla That glorie you deserue and these that stoope To doe you seruice in the acte much honourd Iulia forget that Titus was thy Father Canis and Domitilla ne're remmeber Sabinus or Vespatian To be slaues To her is more true liberty then to liue Parthian or Asian Queenes As lesser stars That waite on Phaebe in her full of brightnes Compar'd to her you are thus I seate you By Caesars side Commanding these that once Were the adored
