CAMMA.
Where is Antonius?
SYNORIX.
Where? As I said before, you are still too early.
CAMMA.
Too early to be here alone with thee;
For whether men malign thy name, or no,
It bears an evil savour among women.
Where is Antonius? (_Loud_.)
SYNORIX.
Madam, as you know
The camp is half a league without the city;
If you will walk with me we needs must meet
Antonius coming, or at least shall find him
There in the camp.
CAMMA.
No, not one step with thee.
Where is Antonius? (_Louder_.)
SYNORIX (_advancing towards her_).
Then for your own sake,
Lady, I say it with all gentleness,
And for the sake of Sinnatus your husband,
I must compel you.
CAMMA (_drawing her dagger_).
Stay!--too near is death.
SYNORIX (_disarming her_).
Is it not easy to disarm a woman?
_Enter_ SINNATUS (_seizes him from behind by the throat_).
SYNORIX (_throttled and scarce audible_).
Rome! Rome!
SINNATUS.
Adulterous dog!
SYNORIX (_stabbing him with_ CAMMA'S _dagger_).
