SCENE I.
The Palatine gardens in view of the imperial palace; flowers and fountains, water-falls, grottoes and statues.Maximus
alone.
What awful silence! All the palace now
Is wrapt in peace. See where the new-born day
Reddens in yonder east, and yet around
No voice is heard, no person seen: ere this
Æmilius must have given the wish'd-for blow—
He promis'd on the tyrant to revenge
The wrongs of Maximus—my friend is tardy.
