The whispers of revolt, and now one name

And now another cast out like a fly

To fish opinion, I give little heed,

For these two reasons; first, there’s not a man

Among the chiefs of faction of such mark

As to make change secure: the second, this,

That lacking such a leader there’s no party

That can command opinion. Nero’s fall,

When he shall fall, will be in a flooding wave

Of common judgment. What the extravagance
