[_Exeunt_.
_Nero_. Let Heaven do what it will, this I have done. Already doe you feel my furies waight: Rome is become a grave of her late greatnes; Her clowdes of smoke have tane away the day, Her flames the night. Now, unbeleaving Eyes, what crave you more? _Enter Neophilus to him_. _Neoph_. O save your selfe, my Lord: your Pallace burnes. _Nero_. My Pallace? how? what traiterous hand? _Enter Tigellinus to them_. _Tigell_. O flie, my Lord, and save your selfe betimes. The winde doth beate the fire upon your house, The eating flame devoures your double gates; Your pillars fall, your golden roofes doe melt; Your antique Tables and Greeke Imagery The fire besets; and the smoake, you see, Doth choake my speech: O flie and save your life. _Nero_. Heaven thou dost strive, I see, for victory. [_Exeunt_. |
