Spart. Ay.

Jov. For whom

Is offered in exchange thy wife, Senona,

And thy young boy.

Spart. Tell thou the prætor, Roman,

The Thracian’s wife is ransomed.

Jov. How is that?

Spart. Ransomed, and by the steel, from out the camp

Of slaughtered Gellius! (Pointing off.) Behold them, Roman!

Jov. (Looking as Spart. points.) This is sorcery!
