SCENE THE FIFTH.

Nero.
Ne.
Guilty, and greatly guilty, is Octavia;
What doubt is there of that? I grieve alone
That I suggested not this project first
Thus to convict her. Can it then be so—
That Nero should from others learn the art
To crush an enemy? But the day comes
When to get rid of those that I abhor,
A signal from my throne will be sufficient.
