3 Rom. Faith, all with singing and with stage-playing.
1 Rom. So many Crowns got with a song!
4 Rom. But did you marke the Greek Musitians
Behind his Chariot, hanging downe their heads,
Sham'd and overcome in their professions?
O Rome was never honour'd so before.
3 Rom. But what was he that rode ith' Chariot with him?
4 Rom. That was Diodorus the Mynstrill that he favours.
3 Rom. Was there ever such a Prince!
2 Rom. O Nero Augustus, the true Augustus!
3 Rom. Nay, had you seen him as he rode along
With an Olimpicke Crowne upon his head
And with a Pythian on his arme, you would have thought,
Looking on one, he had Apollo seem'd,
On th'other, Hercules.
2 Rom. I have heard my father oft repeat the Triumphs
Which in Augustus Caesars tymes were showne
Upon his Victorie ore the Illirians;
But it seemes it was not like to this.
3 & 4 Rom. Push,[6] it could not be like this.
