LACO.
Yes.
MACRO.
Those we must
Hold still in readiness and undischarged.
LACO.
I understand so much. But how it can—
MACRO.
Be done without suspicion, you’ll object?
Re-enter Regulus.
REGULUS.
What’s that?
LACO.
The keeping of the watch in arms,
When morning comes.
MACRO.
The senate shall be met, and set
So early in the temple, as all mark
Of that shall be avoided.
REGULUS.
If we need,
We have commission to possess the palace,
Enlarge prince Drusus, and make him our chief.
MACRO.
That secret would have burnt his reverend mouth,
Had he not spit it out now: by the gods,
You carry things too—Let me borrow a man
Or two, to bear these—That of freeing Drusus,
Cæsar projected as the last and utmost;
Not else to be remember’d.
