SCENE IX.

Enter Sabina, attended by matrons and Roman knights.
Sab.
Cæsar, my lord, my husband!
Behold the hour that I have wish'd so long
At last is come, and I once more am near you:
Permit me now to view you crown'd with laurel;
With that victorious laurel, which has cost
My love such frequent sighs.

Adr.
[aside.]
What shall I say?

176

Sab.
You answer not—

Adr.
I could not hope, Sabina—
Might I—but thy fatigue must now require
A needful rest—Who waits?—Conduct Sabina
To some apartment that befits her rank,
And honour her as me.

Sab.
Must I then leave you?
With you I came to seek repose.

Adr.
Forgive me,
Some weighty cares demand me hence.

Sab.
The time
Has been, Sabina was your first of cares.

Adr.
'Tis true; but empire now must claim from Adrian
A sovereign's duty.

[Exit.
