Act III, Scene 7
1Rome. A public place.
2Enter two Senators and Tribunes.
3First SenatorThis is the tenour of the emperor’s writ:
That since the common men are now in action
’Gainst the Pannonians and Dalmatians,
And that the legions now in Gallia are
Full weak to undertake our wars against
The fall’n-off Britons, that we do incite
The gentry to this business. He creates
Lucius proconsul: and to you the tribunes,
For this immediate levy, he commends
His absolute commission. Long live Caesar!
4First TribuneIs Lucius general of the forces?
5Second SenatorAy.
6First TribuneRemaining now in Gallia?
7First SenatorWith those legions
Which I have spoke of, whereunto your levy
Must be supplyant: the words of your commission
Will tie you to the numbers and the time
Of their dispatch.
8First TribuneWe will discharge our duty. Exeunt.
