SCENE THE SEVENTH.
Nero, Poppæa.Ne.
Learn, Poppæa,
To know thyself, to know thy Nero, better.
102
And should I bury with myself my throne,
I swear to thee, this outrage is the last
That thou shalt bear from her; nor from my hands
Shall she be ever rescued.—Calm thyself;
Resume thy confidence; confide in me ...
Pop.
I have no fear except to die not thine ...
Ne.
Ah! cease. The tumult rapidly has risen,
And quickly will subside: I also now
Prepare myself for action. Be secure;
Of all the indignities that thou hast suffer'd,
Me wilt thou speedily behold th'avenger.
