Cornelia. His death he mourned,
Whom while he liv'd, to live like him he scorn'd.
Philip. He punished his murd'rers.
Cornelia. Who murder'd him,
But he that followed Pompey with the sword?
He murder'd Pompey that pursued his death,
And cast the plot to catch him in the trap.
He that of his departure took the spoil,
Whose fell ambition (founded first in blood)
By nought but Pompey's life could be withstood.
Philip. Photin and false Achillas he beheaded.
Cornelia. That was because that, Pompey being their friend,
They had determined once of Cæsar's end.
Philip. What got he by his death?
Cornelia. Supremacy.
Philip. Yet Cæsar speaks of Pompey honourably.
Cornelia. Words are but wind, nor meant he what he spoke.
Philip. He will not let his statues[363] to be broke.
