Who has long deserved it, must be paid at last
With a proconsulate. For myself, thou knowest
I have taken all disgrace so patiently
That I expect some boon, though yet I fear
To ask; but when I have seen my slandered friends
Honoured, I’ll write it thee.
Ner.I shall be quick
To punish and to make amends. ’Tis just
Towards Burrus, I should tell you from the first
He took your part.
