To such a deed they would not follow me,

Far less another; and if Cæsar now

Look for it from me, lo, I here throw down

My prefecture to any man soe’er

Who durst with this condition take it up.

Ner. Nay, Burrus, I’ll not ask thee that. Thou’rt right.

And yet, if thou could’st do it— See here the man.

Enter Anicetus in haste, Paris following.

Thou hast been my ruin!

ANICETUS.
