Afer Monologue from Sejanus His Fall

From Sejanus His Fall by Ben Jonson

male · defiant · 50 sec

My lords, this strikes at every Roman’s private, In whom reigns gentry, and estate of spirit, To have a Brutus brought in parallel, A parricide, an enemy of his country, Rank’d, and preferr’d to any real worth That Rome now holds. This is most strangely invective, Most full of spite, and insolent upbraiding. Nor is’t the time alone is here disprised, But the whole man of time, yea, Cæsar’s self Brought in disvalue; and he aimed at most, By oblique glance of his licentious pen. Cæsar, if Cassius were the last of Romans, Thou hast no name.
