How! May all the gods consent to CAESAR'S wish, A form of speaking they worser. And add to any honours, that may crown The hopeful issue of GERMANICUS. Caesar, Live long, Another form. and happy, great, and royal Caesar , The gods preserve thee, and thy modesty, Thy wisdom, and thy innocence. Guard His meekness, JOVE , his piety, his care, His bounty— He's every thing. I'll do with others. So will I. And I. Men grow not in the state, but as they are planted Warm in his favours. Read, read them, open, publicly, read them. Honoured, and noble! Good, and great SEIANUS! Fit farther. Crown all our doors with bays. JUNO, MERCURY, All guard him. The gods guard Caesar. All the gods guard Caesar. Now great SEIANUS, you that awed the state, And sought to bring the nobles to your whip, That would be CAESARS tutor, and dispose Of dignities, and offices! that had The public head still bore to your designs, And made the general voice to echo yours! That looked for salutations, twelve score off, And would have pyramid's, yea, temples reared To your huge greatness! now, you lie as flat, As was your pride advanced. And praise to MACRO, that hath saved Room. Liberty, liberty, liberty. Led on, And praise to MACRO, that hath saved Room. I Prophesy, out of this Senates flattery, That this new fellow, MACRO, will become A greater prodigy in Room , then he That now is fallen. How! how!) to the highest, and most conspicuous point of greatness, and (we hope) desert uingly; yet, not without danger: it being a most bold hazard in that sovereign, who, by his particular love to one, dares adventure the hatred of all his other subjects. Oh! good, good.) Though we could have wished his zeal had run a calmer course against A GRIPPINA , and our Nephews, howsoever the openness of their actions, de clared them delinquents; and, that he would have remembered, no innocence is so safe, but it rejoices to stand in the sighed of mercy: The use of which in us, he hath so quite taken away, towards them, by his loyal fury, as now our clemency would be thought but wearied cruelty, if we should offer to exercise it. This is strange! Oh, he has restored all, list.) Yet, are they offered to be averred, and on the lives of the informers. What we should say, or rather what we should not say, Lords of the Senate, if this be true, our gods, and goddesses confound us if we know! Only, we must think, we have placed our benefits ill: and conclude, that, in our choice, either we were won ting to the gods, or the gods to us. Away. How!
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.
