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.
