SCENE VI.
To them Gothmund.Gothmund.
A barge, with streamers waving to the wind,
Has cross'd the river, and ev'n now she lies
Closs anchor'd near the shore. The Roman chief
Sends his ambassador.
Inguiomer.
And have you seen
Arminius?
Gothmund.
With some chosen officers
He holds a Council in his tent; and there
I could not trespass on his privacy.
Veleda.
Be mine that task; from me he will not deem it
Ill-judg'd intrusion; I will seek him straight.
[Exit.
Gothmund.
Ere this the Deputy has reach'd our camp.
Think you he brings such equitable terms,
46
And close the scene of carnage and destruction?
Inguiomer.
'Tis fit he should have audience: But in vain,
I fear, he comes: Our frantic foes,
Enur'd to war, with mad ambition fir'd,
And flush'd with hope of universal empire,
Will ne'er agree to give the world a peace,
On the broad base of justice, and the laws
That bind consenting nations.
