SCENE THE SECOND.
Julian.Ju.
Does Salviati then return to Florence?
Why should he stir from Rome? How dares he plant
His footsteps in these thresholds? Does he thus
Despise our hatred, and our power, and us?—
But yet, if he returns, his hardihood
Springs certainly from force, ... from borrow'd force.—
Yes, now 'tis indispensable to use
All stratagems to frustrate those results,
Which, having once befall'n, we should in vain
For reparation strive. Be Guglielmo
First summon'd to our presence; haply he,
Exhausted by the infirmities of age,
May by the bait of flattery be surprized
To indiscreet confession. To these traitors
Since Salviati now has join'd himself,
The messenger of papal subtlety,
All circumspective vigilance is needful;
And with profuse professions we must seek
347
And time to adapt them to the exigence.
