Fulvia.

Listen in the reader

Madam, I but told you The very words Seleucus.... [A noise without.

Agr. What is that noise?

Ful. ’Tis Cæsar coming with a company.

Agr. Oh, I will see. (Looking forth.) And there is Seneca And Burrus. There’s much meaning in this visit. How grand he looks with all his lords about him! There never was a Cæsar like him: others Have been but Cæsars; he’s an emperor, And wears the full magnificence of state In beardless boyhood.—Fulvia, I do love splendour. To be so young and rule the world!

Enter Nero, Seneca, and Burrus.

Now, welcome, Welcome, my son!
