Enter LUCAN, FLAVUS and ASPER (L.). They stand talking under cover of Judge’s seat. Guards and most of audience are assembled.
LUCAN.
Rufus will do his best: trust we to Rufus
To minimize the matter; ’tis his interest.
FLAVUS.
If Cæsar come unguarded, I will kill him.
ASPER.
I will stand by thee. Is Lateranus here?
Luc. He said he should not come. I pray you both
Wait: let us first see who is betrayed.
