Horace.
Confine (Sir) I beseech you to the HouseThese foolish Women, that they break not loose;For if they should, their over-fondness might,With cries, and tears perhaps disturb our fight,And make the cens'ring world believe that weOur selves were of the vile conspiracy.This honour we should purchase then too dear,If once suspected of so base a fear.
Horace the Father▪
Leave that to me, and go, your Brothers stay,And now your duty to your Countries pay.

Curiace.
How should I part, or in what method take—
Horace the Father.
Ah! do not tempt my grief, for vertues sake;My voice wants terms t'enflame your noble brest,And with perplexed thoughts my heart's opprest.My tears swell up, to force their tender gates,Do your devoire, and leave th' event to fates.
