SCENE THE FOURTH.
Seneca, Nero, Tigellinus.Sen.
Emperor, already hath Octavia passed
Thy royal threshold: whether I to thee
Bring unpropitious or propitious news,
I cannot tell. But no one emulous
Of such a task, anticipates my coming:
A luckless omen this.
Ne.
Go, Tigellinus;
My orders execute:—and thou retrace
Thy previous footsteps; meet Octavia, tell her
That I await her coming here alone.
