SCENE · 2

The previous scene withdraws, showing a supper-room in the house of PETRONIUS. Slaves removing the last of the feast. PETRONIUS, PISO, LUCAN, SCEVINUS, SENECIO, and QUINTIAN. Three places are empty.

PETRONIUS (to Piso).

That’s the last dish, my lord: a little banquet

Of fruit remains, and, best of all my supper,

Three jars of Otho’s wine.

PISO.

Ha! merry Otho,

Become a man of affairs. Drink we to him

And Lusitania.
