Cleom. Is the king
Assured of this, by any overt-act,
Or any close conspiracy revealed?
Ptol. He has it in his power to be a traitor;
And that's enough.
Sosib. He has it in his will too;
Else, why this ostentation of his virtues,
His bounty, valour, and his temperance?
Why are they thus exposed to public view,
But as a Venus set beside a monster,
