Ruf. With anger I turn pale, that in your presence

A traitor should defame me.

Ner.Be cool, sir:

Thou wast suspected, now accused thou art.

Thou hast but one appeal: In thy worst case

’Tis to thy friends (pointing to accused).

Ruf.Call not those men my friends.

Ner. I’ll see. Speak, traitors all; was Rufus with you?

Luc., Sce., and others. He was. He is guilty.

Ner.Arrest the judge.
