SCEN. VI.

Horace, Proculus.
PROCULUS.
What have you done?

HORACE.
That which I not repent
Her crime deserv'd no less a punishment.

PROCU.
This rigor in a brother seem'd too great,

HORACE.
The name of sister I must now forget,
Her execrations has remov'd her place
And all her title to th'Horatian Race,
Her treacherous prayers her just resentment warm'd
113

And her own blood against her self she arm'd;
Her curses should, before they are fulfil'd
(As Monsters births as soon as born) be kill'd.
