SCENE III.
Quintus, Mutius.Quintus.
Mutius! My Lord!—what just return'd from Carthage?
How fares my ancient Master?—brooks he well
His lengthen'd Bondage?
Mutius.
He is now returning.
Quintus.
Returning, say'st thou?—wherefore this Confusion?
Why, fly the Spirits from the Seat of Life?
Mutius.
Why start'st thou, Quintus?
Quintus.
Mutius, at thy News,
So strange and unexpected.
Mutius.
He returns,
To restore Peace to Carthage and to Rome.
Quintus

Would he could give it to the Mind of Quintus!

What say'st thou?
Quintus.
But a Doubt of his Success—
For Rome is angry at the State of Carthage:
Saw you my Lord?
Mutius.
He parted hence this Moment:
Thou Quintus art to bring me to Valerius;
With him I must confer.
Quintus.
I'll shew you to him.
