SCENE III.

Enter Proculus, and Pontius.

Pro. Besides this, if you do it, you enjoy
The noble name Patrician: more than that too,
The friend of Cæsar ye are stil'd: there's nothing
Within the hopes of Rome, or present being,
But you may safely say is yours.

Pon. Pray stay Sir;
What has Aecius done to be destroy'd?
At least I would have a colour.

Pro. Ye have more,
Nay all that may be given, he is a Traitor,
One, any man would strike that were a subject.

Pon. Is he so foul?

Pro. Yes, a most fearfull Traytor.

Pon. A fearfull plague upon thee, for thou lyest;
I ever thought the Souldier would undoe him
With his too much affection.

Pro. Ye have hit it,
They have brought him to ambition.

Pon. Then he is gone.
