Marrulus asks the citizens to "run to their houses" and "fall upon their
knees" and to pray to the gods to "intermit" the plague they will recieve
for their insult to Pompey and his sons. He asks them to go to "Tiber banks"
and weep until the lowest stream rises to "the most exalted shores of all".

According to Marullus, the Romans would climb up "battlements","towers" and
"chimneytops", with their children in their arms, sitting all day with

Flavius asks Marullus to "go this way towards the Capitol" and disrobe
Caesar's statues if he finds any decorated. Marullus is also asked to "drive
the vulgar from the streets" to make it seem as though Caesar's procession
is a faliure.
