SCENE III
Portius, Marcia.
Portius- O Marcia, O my sister, still there’s hope!
- Our father will not cast away a life
- So needful to us all, and to his country.
- He is retired to rest, and seems to cherish
- Thoughts full of peace. He has despatched me hence
- With orders, that bespeak a mind composed,
- And studious for the safety of his friends.
- Marcia, take care that none disturb his slumbers. [Exit.]
Marcia- O ye immortal powers, that guard the just,
- Watch round his couch, and soften his repose,
- Banish his sorrows, and becalm his soul
- With easy dreams; remember all his virtues!
- And show mankind that goodness is your care.
