Sabinus Monologue from Sejanus His Fall

From Sejanus His Fall by Ben Jonson

male · anguished · 39 sec

A good man should and must Sit rather down with loss, than rise unjust. Though, when the Romans first did yield themselves To one man’s power, they did not mean their lives, Their fortunes and their liberties, should be His absolute spoil, as purchased by the sword.
