more----

Mac.
I heard him
When he did study what to add.

Lac.
My life,
And all I hold----

Mac.
You were his own first choice:
Which doth confirm as much as you can speak;
And will, if we succeed, make more----Your guards
Are seven cohorts, you say?

Lac. Yes.

Mac.
Those we must
Hold still in readiness and undischarged.

Lac. I understand so much. But how it can----

Mac. Be done without suspicion, you'll object?
Re-enter REGULUS.
Reg. What's that?

Lac.
The keeping of the watch in arms,
When morning comes.

Mac.

Not else to be remember'd.

Reg. Here are servants.

Mac.
These to Arruntius, these to Lepidus;
This bear to Cotta, this to Latiaris.
If they demand you of me, say I have ta'en
Fresh horse, and am departed. [Exeunt Servants.
You, my lord,
To your colleague, and be you sure to hold him
With long narration of the new fresh favours,
Meant to Sejanus, his great patron; I,
With trusted Laco, here, are for the guards:
Then to divide. For, night hath many eyes,
Whereof, though most do sleep, yet some are spies. [Exeunt

Enter Praecones, Flamen, Tubicines, Tibicines, Ministri,
SEJANUS, TERENTIUS, SATRIUS, NATTA, etc.

Prae.
Be all profane far hence; fly, fly far off:
Be absent far; far hence be all profane!
[Tub. and Tib. sound while the Flamen washeth.
Fla.
We have been faulty, but repent us now,
And bring pure hands, pure vestments, and pure minds.

1 Min. Pure vessels.

2 Min. And pure offerings.

3 Min. Garlands pure.

Fla.
Bestow your garlands: and, with reverence, place
