Theophilus D Anvers and Sejanus in Ben Jonson’s Style
The text discusses Theophilus D Anvers, his modernized Sejanus manuscript, and his uncle’s praise for Cibber’s acting. It contrasts Sejanus with Wolsey and Beaufort, noting Cibber’s strengths in clever, urbane roles and weakness in serious parts.
Sejanus Scene in the Senate House Before the Emperor
The VIIth scene of Sejanus is presented with senators Haterius Sanguinius Cotta Regulus Pomponius Latianus Arruntius Lepidus and others debating Sejanus power. The letters read from Tiberius announce tribunitian dignity for Sejanus while rivals pledge voices and pensions to bind him. The Emperor defends his acts and warns against dangerous flatterers as plots unfold in the Senate.
