Act 3, Scene 7

Rome. A public place.
Enter two Senators and Tribunes
First Senator This is the tenor of the emperor's writ:
That since the common men are now in action
'Gainst the Pannonians and Dalmatians,
And that the legions now in Gallia are
Full weak to undertake our wars against
The fall'n-off Britons, that we do incite fall'n off: in revolt
The gentry to this business. He creates
Lucius proconsul: and to you the tribunes,
For this immediate levy, he commends
His absolute commission. Long live Caesar!

 
First Tribune Is Lucius general of the forces?

 
Second Senator
Ay.

 
First Tribune Remaining now in Gallia?

 
First Senator
With those legions
Which I have spoke of, whereunto your levy
Must be supplyant: the words of your commission supplyant: supplementary
Will tie you to the numbers and the time
Of their dispatch.

 
First Tribune
We will discharge our duty.
