Enter
Platonicus
and
Publius
.
Pub.
Though
I
have
earn'd
it
with
the
sweat
of
my
browes
in
Ianuary
,
yet
I
am
glad
I
saw
it
,
for
there
never
was
such
a
sight
seene
.
Pla.
What
sight
Publius
?
Pub.
The
Triumph
.
Pla.
Whose
Tryumph
?
Pub.
The
Triumph
of
ALBANACTVS
.
Pla.
Didst
thou
see
it
?
Pub
See
it
,
yes
,
and
feele
it
too
.
Every
one
there
(
I
can
assure
you
)
went
not
vpon
his
owne
feete
.
Pla.
No
,
I
thinke
,
some
rid
.
Pub.
They
did
so
,
for
some
rid
me
.
Some
trode
on
my
toes
.
Some
cryed
,
some
kept
it
in
;
for
my
part
,
I
confest
all
,
for
feare
I
should
have
beene
prest
to
death
.
Pla.
Though
thy
body
was
pincht
,
thine
eyes
were
feasted
.
Pub.
Were
not
yours
so
too
?
Pla.
Yes
.
Pub.
Where
stood
you
?
Pla.
I
stood
not
,
Pub.
You
had
the
better
friends
sir
,
I
pray
where
sate
you
?
Pla.
In
my
studdy
.
Pub.
Is
not
your
studdy
backward
?
with
a
shop-light
in
it
,
where
one
can
see
nothing
but
the
skye
?
Pla.
I
confesse
it
,
what
of
that
?
Pub.
Why
then
you
saw
no
Triumph
.
Pla.
But
I
did
,
and
a
true
one
,
thine
was
but
a
shew
.
Pub.
If
what
I
saw
was
but
a
shew
,
what
you
saw
was
but
a
shadow
,
or
at
the
most
a
Vision
.
For
it
seemes
your
body
kept
home
,
though
your
spirit
walkt
.
Pla.
It
did
so
.
And
travelled
to
better
purpose
then
most
men
doe
,
that
goe
,
and
see
,
and
say
,
but
know
nothing
.
Pub.
To
confute
that
Heresie
of
yours
,
I
have
gone
,
and
seene
,
and
know
,
but
I
will
say
nothing
.
Pla.
That
's
impossible
;
The
meate
thou
hast
lately
fed
vpon
,
is
so
windy
,
out
it
must
,
thou
wilt
burst
else
.
Pub.
Faith
sir
,
I
am
very
full
indeede
.
Pla.
Purge
then
,
and
tell
thy
Doctor
all
.
Pub.
ALBANACTVS
CAESAR
from
his
sumptuous
Pallace
,
through
the
high-streets
of
ALBIPOLIS
rid
Triumphing
,
on
a
Chariot
,
made
�
Pla.
Of
wood
,
perhaps
guilt
,
perhaps
gold
.
But
I
will
save
you
all
those
charges
,
if
you
will
goe
on
to
the
Persons
,
and
let
the
Pagents
alone
.
Pub.
Sir
I
saw
him
not
as
he
was
borne
,
naked
,
but
since
you
affect
such
brevity
,
I
saw
the
King
and
a
great
deale
more
,
and
so
I
turn'd
my
backe
,
and
went
away
.
Pla.
Nay
good
Publius
,
now
thou
art
too
briefe
.
Pub.
When
you
beginne
to
tell
your
dreames
,
I
'le
not
iogge
you
,
till
you
wake
of
your selfe
.
Pla.
Nay
prethee
be
not
angry
.
Pub.
I
am
not
angry
,
but
a
little
short-winded
vpon
occasion
.
Yet
to
give
you
some
satisfaction
because
you
have
done
me
wrong
.
Before
CAESAR
March't
Captive
Kings
,
with
their
hands
bound
.
And
Ladies
,
with
their
Armes
acrosse
,
furious
wild
Beasts
,
great
Giants
,
and
little
Dwarfes
with
Lictors
,
and
Pictors
,
and
a
number
of
Priests
that
were
as
you
would
have
them
,
In
their
shirts
.
These
with
certaine
Princes
that
were
behind
him
:
made
vp
a
Triumph
too
great
to
come
out
of
any
mortall
mans
mouth
.
Pla.
That
's
most
certaine
.
Pub.
I
meane
in
words
.
But
as
you
hunt
me
you
would
hunt
a
Hare
off
her
leggs
.
Pla.
I
confesse
thou
hast
made
more
haste
,
then
good
speede
:
But
for
a
supplement
to
thy
lame
Story
,
Know
,
I
have
seene
this
brave
ALBANACIVS
CAESAR
,
seene
him
with
the
eyes
of
vnderstanding
,
vew'd
all
his
Actions
;
look't
into
his
Mind
:
which
I
finde
armed
with
so
many
morall
vertues
that
he
dayly
Conquers
a
world
of
Vices
,
which
are
wild
Beasts
indeede
.
For
example
Ambition
,
is
a
Lyon
;
Cruelty
,
a
Beare
;
Avarice
,
a
Wolfe
.
Yet
He
subdues
them
all
.
To
be
short
,
no
Vyce
is
so
small
,
to
scape
him
:
Nor
so
great
,
but
he
overcomes
it
:
And
in
that
fashion
he
Triumphes
over
all
the
Kings
,
and
Queenes
that
went
before
him
.
All
his
Passions
,
are
his
true
Subiects
:
And
Knowledge
,
Iudgment
,
Merit
,
Bounty
and
the
like
,
are
fit
Comma
ders
,
for
such
a
Generall
,
These
Triumph
with
him
,
And
these
are
the
Princes
you
saw
about
him
.
And
this
Publius
,
is
more
then
you
can
finde
in
the
streete
.
Pub.
I
graunt
it
,
But
yet
graunt
me
one
Request
deare
Platonicus
?
Pla.
What
's
that
?
Pub.
Goe
but
with
me
to
the
Amphitheater
.
Pla.
To
Gaze
.
Pub.
Yes
.
Pla.
Why
beforehand
I
know
there
will
be
Gladiators
,
Saltators
,
and
sights
to
please
the
People
.
Wert
not
thou
better
stay
here
,
and
see
CAESAR
present
himselfe
to
this
fayre
Goddesse
,
seeking
sweete
rest
,
after
all
his
labors
.
Pub.
I
should
sleepe
at
such
a
sight
.
Pla.
Then
after
a
Play
,
thou
art
all
for
a
Pryze
.
Pub.
All
together
,
and
so
(
I
hope
)
are
you
Pla.
At
this
time
,
I
am
.
For
I
will
goe
with
thee
,
if
it
be
but
to
teach
thee
to
Reade
in
thy
owne
Booke
.
Outsides
,
have
Insides
,
Shells
,
have
Kernells
in
them
.
And
vnder
every
Fable
,
nay
(
almost
)
vnder
every
thing
,
lyes
a
Morrall
.
Publius
stumbles
at
a
stone
,
and
stoops
to
take
it
vp
.
What
art
thou
doing
Publius
.
Pub.
Lifting
vp
the
stone
I
stumbled
at
.
Pla.
To
what
ende
?
Pub.
To
see
what
lyes
vnder
it
.
Pla.
What
should
lye
vnder
a
stone
,
but
a
Worme
,
or
a
Hoglouse
.
Pub.
If
there
lye
not
a
Morall
vnder
it
,
then
have
you
taught
me
false
Doctrine
.
Pla.
Such
thankes
have
they
that
teach
such
Schollers
.
Come
away
Foole
,
they
beginne
to
throng
to
the
Theater
.
Such
kind
of
pastimes
as
Victorious
Emperors
were

to
present
as
Spectacles

the
