But did you marke the Greek Musitians Behind his Chariot, hanging downe their heads, Sham'd and overcome in their professions? O Rome was never honour'd so before. 3 _Rom_. But what was he that rode ith' Chariot with him? 4 _Rom_. That was _Diodorus_ the Mynstrill that he favours. 3 _Rom_. Was there ever such a Prince! 2 _Rom_. O _Nero Augustus_, the true _Augustus!_ 3 _Rom_. Nay, had you seen him as he rode along With an _Olimpicke_ Crowne upon his head And with a _Pythian_ on his arme, you would have thought, Looking on one, he had _Apollo_ seem'd, On th'other, _Hercules_. 2 _Rom_. I have heard my father oft repeat the Triumphs Which in _Augustus Caesars_ tymes were showne Upon his Victorie ore the _Illirians_; But it seemes it was not like to this. 3 & 4 _Rom_. Push,[6] it could not be like this. |
