SCENE the third.
Venusia, Dumnorix, and Ebrancus.Dumnorix
to Ebrancus.
What means this haste?
Why lookst thou pale?
Ebrancus.
With thy instructions charg'd,
I sought th'Icenian quarter. All around
Was solitude and silence. When I call'd,
No voice reply'd. To Boadicia's tent
With fearful haste I trod. Her daughters there
I found in consternation. I enquir'd
The cause, they answer'd only with their tears;
Till from the princess Emmeline at last
I learn'd, that all th'Icenains were that hour
In silent march departed; but their course
She could not tell me: that her furious mother
Had with a fell, determin'd, look enjoin'd them
To wait her pleasure, which should soon be known;
Mean time to rest immoveable and mute.
