Whence nothing reaches Rome.

Pop.Oh, now I fear

I have said too much; let not my love o’ercome thee.

Maybe she meant not this.

Ner.Thou meddle not!

Pop. Oh, but at least no crimes, Nero, no crimes!

Promise me that; rather I’ll fly to-night.

Ner. Poppæa, in earnest of the happy day

When thou wilt be my wife, I bid thee now

Depart.
