SEJANUS.
He’s here, dread Cæsar.
TIBERIUS.
Let all depart that chamber, and the next.
[Exeunt Attendants.]
Sit down, my comfort. When the master prince
Of all the world, Sejanus, saith he fears,
Is it not fatal?
SEJANUS.
Yes, to those are fear’d.
TIBERIUS.
And not to him?
SEJANUS.
Not, if he wisely turn
That part of fate he holdeth, first on them.
TIBERIUS.
That nature, blood, and laws of kind forbid.
SEJANUS.
Do policy and state forbid it?
TIBERIUS.
No.
