My son, your master, I am very well—
And happy—
(The men make no reply. Agrippina straightens her body haughtily.)
—If like cowards in the night
You come to stab a woman—
Anicetus
(Drawing his sword and speaking to Captain.)
Snuff the light!
(The men spring forward with drawn swords. Agrippina does not move. The light is stricken out.)
