_A passage or ante-room in Seneca’s house in Rome._
_Enter SENECA with papers in his hand._
_SENECA_ (_calling_).
Paullina!— 371
Thus go my mornings: now ’tis scarce two hours
To dinner. (_Calling._) Paullina! Paullina!—The wretched beggars
Multiply every day. I feed half Rome
With doles. ’Tis fortunate that trading thrives.
Paullina!
_PAULLINA_ (_within_).
