SCENA VI.
Horatius, Proculus.Proc.
What have you done?
Horat.
I think, an act of justice.
Such a fault such a punishment requires.
Proc.
You should have us'd her with lesse rigour, though.
48
Tell me not that she is my blood, my sister;
my father for his daughter can no more
acknowledg her: Who is so bold to curse
his Country, doth renounce his family:
Those names of love are then no more allow'd him,
he makes his deerest friends his enemies;
the blood it self arms them in hatred of
his crime, the speediest vengeance is the best for't.
This impious wish, though forcelesse, is a monster
that must be smothered in the birth.
