SCENE I - Enter CHORUS.
CHORUS: Antinous and Hadrian combined,
Two hearts toward each other have revived.
Now Gaius and Vibia have refined,
And wonder how her marriage has survived.
Gaius plans a dark and troubled future,
While Hadrian learns Vibia's untrue.
Wilt Vibia be doctor to suture,
Or to Greece wilt Gaius must say adieu?
And Antinous wishes to escape,
While Lucius questions inner strength,
Hadrian shall escape to old Egypt's cape.
And from their all shall plan their future lengths.
Darkness is brewing, as fate is stewing.
And of what's to come, Greece will be booing.
(Exit.)
