Dem. But me more good, to see so great a lord
Basely insinuate and send us gifts.
Aar. Had he not reason, Lord Demetrius?

Dem. I would we had a thousand Roman dames
At such a bay, by turn to serve our lust.[4514]

Chi. And that would she for twenty thousand more. 45
Dem. Come, let us go, and pray to all the gods
For our beloved mother in her pains.
Aar. [Aside] Pray to the devils; the gods have given us over. [Trumpets sound within.[4517]
Dem. Why do the emperor's trumpets flourish thus?
Chi. Belike, for joy the emperor hath a son. 50
