Sosib. Remember, you appointed them this day.
Ptol. I had forgot 'twas my Cassandra's birth-day.
Sosib. Your brother Magas grows more dangerous daily,
And has the soldiers' hearts.
Ptol. I'll cut him off.
Sosib. Not so soon done as said. The Spartan king
Was summoned for advice, and waits without.
Ptol. His business is to wait.
Sosib. Be pleased to sign these papers; they are all
Of great concern.
