All. Then be it his!
1st Bar. Girt tight the drum, and sound yon brazen trump!
Let it proclaim aloud our firm decree:—
Aurelius and his brother, both are traitors,
And ’gainst their mother country do rebel!
[Trumpet sounds.
2nd Bar. Nay; stop not there, but let them bellow on,
Till with their clamorous noise they shame the thunder;
And o’er the earth, and e’en to heaven, proclaim
Vortigern our king, our lawful sovereign!
