SCENE the fifth.
Dumnorix and Venusia.Venusia.
Oh! Dumnorix, how virtue hath recoil'd
Upon itself! my interposing pity,
Thy manly firmness in a gen'rous act
Gave these disasters being.
Dumnorix.
I forbid thee
To blame thy virtues, which the gods approve,
And I revere. Now leave me to concert
With our surviving chiefs the means of safety.
Venusia.
Oh! that, like me, compliant, at thy word
Peace a benign companion would attend,
And moderate thy cares, while I depart.
