Nero

Come, who will be my prosecutor?

Sabinus

The senator Lucius Galba.

Nero

Galba?

What’s it with Galba? Other than he is

So handsome, and gaining.

Sabinus

My lord, it is

That there’s no offense in his quality,

And yet no peace within his temperament.

Lamentable bards struggle to profane him:

He walks with a physicality exalting,

Belying his age and vindicating

His brutality. Personally,

I would omit no tale of monsters

Inhabiting his footmen. Even still

The people move in great majority

With Galba.

Nero

The senator looks to

Accomplish much, yet nothing on his own -

Like the inanimate wheel.
