See first I make libation to the Goddess,
[_Makes libation_.
And now I drink. [_Drinks and fills the cup again_.
Thy turn, Galatian King.
Drink and drink deep--our marriage will be fruitful.
Drink and drink deep, and thou wilt make me happy.
[SYNORIX _goes up to her. She hands him the cup. He drinks_.
SYNORIX.
There, Gamma! I have almost drain'd the cup--
A few drops left.
CAMMA.
Libation to the Goddess.
[_He throws the remaining drops on the altar
and gives_ CAMMA _the cup_.
CAMMA (_placing the cup on the altar_).
Why then the Goddess hears.
[_Comes down and forward to tripod_. ANTONIUS _follows_.
Antonius,
Where wast thou on that morning when I came
To plead to thee for Sinnatus's life,
Beside this temple half a year ago?
ANTONIUS.
I never heard of this request of thine.
SYNORIX (_coming forward hastily to foot of tripod steps_).
I sought him and I could not find him. Pray you,
Go on with the marriage rites.
CAMMA.
Antonius----
'Camma!' who spake?
ANTONIUS.
