THE GREY NIGHT. 
I35 
PUBLIUS 
 
How very surprising, 
For the sun shews devil a sign of rising ! 
 
AGRIPPA 
 
The guard should have come an hour ago 
To relieve us. 
 
IST SOLDIER 
 
By Zeus !  ’twas a foul throw ! 
 
2ND SOLDIER 
 
Throw again ! 
 
3RD SOLDIER 
 
It’s Venus !  The coat is mine. 
Silky-soft and rainbow-fine ! 
Would the world were never duller 
Than this cool cascade of colour ! 
 
AGRIPPA 
 
Something serious is occurring. 
All the town is lighted, stirring. 
We had best bring reinforcement.
