Nero wandered out into the streets oi Rome ,knocked at the doors oi friends; none would answer or let him in. He came back to his bed-room, called for Spicillus the gladiator to kill him, but Bpicillus was gone. “ What i" said he to Epaphroditus. his eecretery, who had now joined him, " have I neither friend or loa?"and he rushed out again to throw himself into the Tiber; but his courage tail. ing him, and his reason growing clear once more in the face of the appalling calamity. he wished tor some quiet place where he might consider his strange and sudden poaition, and collect his thoughts for death. With‘ his head muffled up. and covering his face with a hankerchief. dreseed only in a tunic. with an old soiled cloak thrown over his shoulder. he trudged along barefoot in the gloom of the early twilight. accompanied by Phaon, Sporne and E paphroditus.

Then he - ordered a grave to be dug before his eyes. for he refused to fly. He bade them to pave the pit with marble, and, weeping theatrical- ly, he prepared, surrounded by his only remaining iriends, to play hie last act. ” What an artist is now about to perish l" he exclaimed. but ere the words left hie lips a despatch from Rome arrived, which he snatched out of Phson'e hands. He read it then shuddered. He had been condemned'by the Senate to be beaten todeath, and dragged by the heels andflung into the Tiber. Seiz- ing two daggers, he ieit their points. Greek verses occurred to him, end he began to recite. He begged Sporue to set up a wail iorhimâ€"to hillhimâ€"to kill him first. At this moment the tramping oi horses and clash of armed men were heard below. He broke out in a verse from the Iliad: “The noise of swift-heeled steeds assails my ear." In another moment he would be taken alive. "Come then, courage, man i" he cried and feebly pushed the point of the dagger into hie throat. But his nerve was gone and Epephroditus came to hie help and pressed it home. The guards burst in and would have seized him. "Is this your fidelity 2" he murmured. and expired with staring eyes to the terror 0! all who beheld him. It wee his last pose. and, as the end of each elite. it could not have been outdone. is this your fidelity?" “He never made a better comic hit,” writes M.
