His sons he there proclaim’d the kings of kings;
Great Media, Parthia, and Armenia,
He gave to Alexander; to Ptolemy he assign’d [15]
Syria, Cilicia, and Phœnicia: she
In the habiliments of the goddess Isis
That day appear’d, and oft before gave audience,
As ’tis reported, so.
MÆCENAS
Let Rome be thus inform’d.
AGRIPPA
Who, queasy with his insolence already, [20]
Will their good thoughts call from him.
CÆSAR
The people knows it; and have now receiv’d
His accusations.
AGRIPPA
Who does he accuse?
CÆSAR
Cæsar, and that having in Sicily
Sextus Pompeius spoil’d, we had not rated him [25]
His part o’ the isle. Then does he say, he lent me
Some shipping unrestor’d. Lastly, he frets
That Lepidus of the triumvirate
Should be depos’d, and, being, that we detain
All his revenue.
AGRIPPA
