Agrippina Monologue from Nero

From Nero by Stephen Phillips

female · anguished · 1:00 min

(Clasping his knees.) Child, I have done with scorn, with bitter words, With taunt, with gibe. Now I ask only pity-- A little pity from flesh that I conceived, A little mercy from the body I bore, And touches from the baby hands I kissed. Nothing I ask of you, only to love me, And if not that, to bear with me a while, Who have borne much for you: no, Nero, child, I will not weary you, I yearn for you. Forgive me all the deeds that I have done for you, Forget the great love I have spent on you, Pardon the long, long life for you endured. [NERO is moved and kisses her, then speaks with effort.
