SCENE XII.
Enter Fulvia.Fulv.
Ætius, I read thy anger in thy looks:
Hast thou to Cæsar then discours'd of me?
Æt.
I have; but kept from him thy love a secret:
Hence thou hast little cause to fear.
Fulv.
What said he
To thy request? What answer gave Augustus?
Æt.
He neither yielded nor oppos'd my suit;
By certain signs I found he grew disturb'd,
But yet he durst not give his anger vent.
Fulv.
You raise my apprehension. He who feels
Resentment, yet assumes an outward calm,
Must surely plan some cautious scheme of vengeance.
Æt.
You fear too soon.
