Nero his death.

In lust who leadeth life,
with Tyraunt Nero here:
Must with Nero ende his life,
as did in Rome appere.
Who slue his Mayster Seneca,
who did his mother kill:
Who spoyled all, who spared none,
who last him selfe did spill.
Whose death as ioyfull was to Rome,
as Rome his life detest.
That into Tiber he being deade,
the Romans threwe this beast.
