--How now?
Enter SATRIUS.
Sat.
My lord, Sertorius Macro is without,
Alone, and prays t' have private conference
In business of high nature with your lordship,
He says to me, and which regards you much.

Sej. Let him come here.

Sat.
Better, my lord, Withdraw:
You will betray what store and strength of friends
Are now about you; which he comes to spy.

Sej. Is he not arm'd?

Sat. We'll search him.

Sej.
No; but take,
And lead him to some room, where you conceal'd
May keep a guard upon us. [Exit Sat.]
Noble Laco,
You are our trust; and till our own cohorts
Can be brought up, your strengths must be our guard.
Now, good Minutius, honour'd Latiaris,
[He salutes them humbly.
Most worthy and my most unwearied friends:
I return instantly. [Exit.

Lat. Most worthy lord.

Cot.
His lordship is turn'd instant kind, methinks;
I have not observed it in him, heretofore.

1 Tri. 'Tis true, and it becomes him nobly.

Min.
I
Am wrapt withal.

2 Tri.
By Mars, he has my lives,
Were they a million, for this only grace.

Lac. Ay, and to name a man!

Lat. As he did me!

Min. And me!

Lat.
Who would not spend his life and fortunes,
To purchase but the look of such a lord?

Lac.
He that would nor be lord's fool, nor the world's. [Aside.

SCENE VI.-Another Room in the same.
Enter SEJANUS, MACRO, and SATRIUS.

Sej.
Macro! most welcome, a most coveted friend!
Let me enjoy my longings. When arrived you?

Mac. About the noon of night.

Sej. Satrius, give leave. [Exit Sat.

Mac.
I have been, since I came, with both the consuls,
On a particular design from Caesar.

Sej. How fares it with our great and royal master?

Mac.
Right plentifully well; as, with a prince,
That still holds out the great proportion
Of his large favours, where his judgment hath
Made once divine election: like the god
That wants not, nor is wearied to bestow
Where merit meets his bounty, as it doth
In you, already the most happy, and ere
The sun shall climb t
