SCENE VII. Rome. A public place.
Enter two Senators and Tribunes
First Senator
      This is the tenor 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
5     Full weak to undertake our wars against
      The fall'n-off Britons, that we do incite
      The gentry to this business. He creates
      Lucius preconsul: and to you the tribunes,
      For this immediate levy, he commends
10    His absolute commission. Long live Caesar!
First Tribune
      Is Lucius general of the forces?
Second Senator
      Ay.
First Tribune
      Remaining now in Gallia?
First Senator
      With those legions
15    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.
First Tribune
      We will discharge our duty.
