Anicetus Monologue from Nero

From Nero by Stephen Phillips

male · dark · 54 sec

Caesar, a sudden thought hath come to me. A pleasure pinnace lies in Baiae Bay Built for thyself: on this let her return In the deep night after Minerva's feast, Or supper given in sign of amity. I will contrive a roof weighted with lead Over the couch whereon she will recline. Once in deep water at a signal given The roof shall fall: and with a leak prepared The ship shall sink and plunge her in the waves. In that uncertain water what may chance? What may not? To the elements this deed Will be imputed, to a casual gust Or striking squall upon the moody deep.
