SCENE I.

The Street near the Temple.
Valerius enters, attended by Heralds, Officers, and Soldiers.
Valer.
Go, rouse our senators—
[To the Heralds.
Convene them instantly!—We have been told
There is commotion in the camp to-night.
Dispatch an officer and band of soldiers
[To the chief Captain.
To every gate, and double its assurance!
Pretors! divide the city watch, and place
A guard at every avenue—while the rest
Patrole the streets, to seize on all suspected.

[Exeunt severally.
