Aye, Master!

(Exit Captain toward sea.)

Anicetus

And no brazen wound shall bleed

Red scandal over Rome; the nosing mob

Shall sniff no poison. Just a gulping sob

And some few bubbles breaking on the swell—

Then, good night, Agrippina, rest you well!

And may the gods revamp the silly fish

With guts of brass for coping with that dish!
