THE GREY NIGHT.
I27
AGRIPPA
But fear persuades.
— This deathly light, these foul grey shades !
PUBLIUS
Portending little enough of good
To Rome, that beats with our heart’s blood.
See how dejected on their spears
The guard lean !
AGRIPPA
Rather a thousand years
Of strife than this black peace. Accurst
I know this night shall be.
ISSA
I thirst.
AGRIPPA
Give him to drink !
PUBLIUS
How strange a fate !
Those noble eyes irradiate
This leprous luster.
