Sen. Who then?
Fla. (advancing). Hail, Cæsar, hail!
Sen.Why, man, what’s this?
Fla. We choose thee Cæsar.
Luc.We crown thee.
Lat.Hail, great Cæsar!
Sen. Me! madmen, me! Cæsar! me! I am retired . . .
And—oh! no—never. Who hath chosen me?
Is this thy folly, nephew, when thou tell’st me
My friends decrease?
