What say you, my lord?

Decentius.

To Rome, I say!

Julian.

Like Gallus! [He shouts through the window.] Help, help!

Sallust.

Fly, my Caesar! Fly, fly!

Wild cries are heard without. Soldiers of the Roman legions, Batavian auxiliaries, and other allies[allies] climb in through the window. At the same time, others swarm in by the door at the back. Amongst the foremost is the Standard-Bearer Maurus; women, some with children in their arms, follow the intruders.

Cries among the Soldiers.

Caesar, Caesar![Caesar!]
