Agrippina perswaded me t’adopt her sonne,[1004]
That after me the[1005] Empire he might haue;
Which when at length[1006] I had vnwisely donne
At her request,[1007] as she the same did craue,
In recompence to me she poyson[1008] gaue,
Whereof I dyed:[1009] this was my life and ende,
Let so my factes and fatall fall be pen’de.[1010]
How the Emperovr Domitius Nero liued wickedly and tyrannously, and in the ende miserably slewe himselfe, the yeere of Christ, 70.
