Poetical Works of Robert Bridges, Volume 6

by Robert Bridges

Ruf.Nay, our Proculus

Is not Volusius.

Pis.Nor the navy either!

Se^o. I know the Admiral, my lord: let me

Sound him, if he hangs back.

Fla.No hangers-back.

Ruf. Your name, my lord, when we may mention it,

Is all-sufficient.

Pis.I give not my name

Till Nero is dead.
