ACT III
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
 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
 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
 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.

 [Exeunt]
