Is my father mad? Weary of life, and rule, lords? thus to heave And idol up with praise! make him his mate! His rival in the empire! Allow him statues? titles? honours? such, As he himself refuseth? The first ascents to sovereignty are hard But, entered once, there never wants or means, Or ministers, to help aspirer on. We must shortly pray To Modesty , that he will rest contented— What? Is your vast greatness grown so blindly bold, That you will over us? Give way, Colossus? Do you lift? Advance you? Take that. Nay, come, approach. What? stand you off? at gaze? It looks too full of death, for thy cold spirits. Avoid mine eye, dull camel, or my sword Shall make thy bravery fitter for a graven, Then for a triumph. I'll advance a statue, O'your own bulk; but it shall be on the cross: Where I will nail your pride, at breadth, and length, And crack those sinews, which are yet but stretched With your swollen Fortune's rage. DRUSUS is dying. One met EUDEMUS, the Physician, Sent for, but now: who thinks he cannot live. And, what of that? Fears, whisperings, tumults, noise, I know not what: They say, the Senate fit. More graced now, then ever. But turned too good, to both.
Plot summary
Plot — Sejanus His Fall
While disaffected Romans whisper, the favourite Séjamus dominates the court with his spies and corruptly sells offices; it is rumoured that he seeks imperial status for himself. He has an affair with Livia and arranges the death by poison of her husband Drasiis} He and the Emperor MibETUS plot to destabilize the opposition, effectively led by Agtippinal To that end, they have Silii§ and @6rdus tried for treason before the Senate; Silius pre-empts the verdict by publicly committing suicide. Sejanus persuades Tiberius to retire from: Rome, but makes him suspicious by seeking to marry Livia (and so become part of the imperial family). Leaving Sejanus as his deputy in Rome, Tiberius also assigns Maer to watch and act against him. Sejanus returns to favour when he saves the Emperor’s life after a rockfall. The legalized harassment of dissent is stepped up: Agrippina’s son @aligala escapes from Rome with Macro, but his mother and brothers are arrested and condemned. Rumours of Tiberius’ debaucheries circulate in Rome, while his treatment of Sejanus seems increasingly ambiguous: the favourites’ allies and enemies seem both to be given high office. Portents like the appearance of a Biantisiake inside Sejanus’ statue prefigure his fall. He professes atheism, accepting only the power of Fertile, but at a religious ceremony the statue of Fortune turns her face from him. The Senate is summoned to hear a communication from the Emperor, and rumours circulate that Sejanus is to be invested with supreme power. Meanwhile, Macro plans a coup with selected officials. The senators greet Sejanus with flattery, but Tiberius’ letter strips him of power. He is beheaded, and the mob tears his body to pieces and pulls down his statues; his children are also killed at Macro’s instigation.
