SCENE XVII.

Varus
alone.
O! impious man; he leads to death the guiltless,
Then calls on Rome to avenge his own misdeeds.
Go then—but such designs shall fatal prove
To him whose heart conceiv'd them—Traitor, go!
—But hark! what sudden tumult fills my ears.
[trumpets and alarms.
387

From yonder capitol afar
Is heard the clashing din of war,
A thousand soldiers' shouts in air
Their mingled clamours blend.
What now remains? O! let me prove
Whate'er the generous breast can move,
Of social truth or loyal love,
The subject or the friend.

[Exit.
