Nero Monologue from Sejanus His Fall

From Sejanus His Fall by Ben Jonson

male · dramatic · 51 sec

Tiberius sitting at his meat, In a farm-house they call Spelunca, sited By the sea-side, among the Fundane hills, Within a natural cave; part of the grot, About the entry, fen, and overwhelm’d Some of the waiters; others ran away: Only Sejanus with his knees, hands, face, O’erhanging Cæsar, did oppose himself To the remaining ruins, and was found In that so labouring posture by the soldiers That came to succour him. With which adventure, He hath so fix’d himself in Cæsar’s trust, As thunder cannot move him, and is come With all the height of Cæsar’s praise to Rome.
