SCENE X.
[To them Pheroras enters.]Herod
to Pheroras.
Is Sohemus
Secur'd for torture?
Phe.
Sir, he took th' alarm,
And fled for safety to the royal tow'r:
The portal forc'd, the soldiers found him fall'n
On his self-slaught'ring sword, stretcht on the ground
Welt'ring in blood; he speechless there expir'd.
Her.
Too far confiding in that traytor's skill
In arts of rule, he so misus'd my pow'r,
That distant story may record my reign
From year to year, by many a cruel deed;
As the wild progress of a storm is trac'd
By marks of desolation.
