Yes, I have seen that Court, and close at hand, That Court too careful to applaud its master ; I've seen that Court approve the crimes of Nero, Go on their knees to him, and consecrate him. Idolatrous courtiers shall not be my judge ; I will not lend my ear to flatterers. Now, dear Paulinus, let me see and hear ; ACT ii BERENICE 17 Be you my ears and eyes, interpret for me The varying hearts of all my countrymen'; Now speak ! What ought Queen Berenice to hope ?
Will Rome be cruel or indulgent t...o her ? Will Rome be angry if so fair a Queen Be raised as Empress to the throne of Caesar ?
PAULINOS.
Lord, there can be no doubt, whate'er the cause, Be it reason or caprice, Rome does not want her To be the Empress here. They say, of course, That she is good and beautiful, and seems Made to be Empress over human beings ; They say she has a truly Roman heart, And has a thousand virtues ; but, my Lord, You know the rest. Rome, by unchanging law, Will have no foreign blood mixed with her blood, Will recognise no children born of marriage Made against Roman custom, Roman law.
