SCEN. VIII.
Old Horace, Young Horace, Curtius.
Young HORACE.
Sir, by your prudence their escape prevent,Or they'll pursue us with their discontent,And with a noise unwelcome and abrupt,Their love and grief our fight will interrupt;Which may give envy a pretence to stickUpon our names, that poor and crafty trick:
descriptionPage 92
And our great choice would be too dearly bought,If we were charg'd with one unworthy thought.
Old HORACE.
I shall be careful, go, your Brothers stay,Think only what your Countries claim to day.
CURTIUS.
How shall I bid adieu, or by what art—
Old HORACE.
Ah! do not quite dissolve my trembling heart,My tongue so sad a farewel does deny,Nor can my heart thoughts strong enough supply;See! ev'n my Eyes swell with unwilling tears,Go, do your parts, and let the gods do theirs.
