Famous Phrases
"Let Him Kill Me, But Let Him Reign"
. By Nj. III. TiIlett.

psayer's prophecy that her son would
become Emperor and then would kill
her-uttered the above quoted words.
And the tiger mother meant what
she said-to the last syllable.
Having brought about Nero's adop-
ton by her uncle, the Emperor, as
his successor. she still pursued her
purpose. Her o was not yet En-
peror and until that eventuation
she would not slacken effort. With
that end in view. in AZ she married
ClaudiuS-and. five years later, In 81,
cleared the way for her son "a the
throne by poisoning her Emperor
husband.
And. in accord with her ambitions
for him, he was Immediately pro-
claimed Emperor.
Thus the first part Of the sooth-
Syer's prophecy the gratifying
part-was fulfilled. And for q time
Agripptna lived in happiness as the
mother OF the Emperor. But II did
not last. In a short time the mother
and son FLASHED and before five
years had passed the two were bit.
ter against each other. Agrippina
was hurting dire menaces at Nero.
and he was countering by planning
for her murder.
Nero first attempted to brins
about his mothers death by q ruse.
He tricked her into embarking on a
collapsible boat-specially designed
70 effect her drowning. But the trick
failed. for, although the boat col
lapsed. the mother escaped.
But Nero's unnatural vndictive
ness would not Be denied. In a short
time lin the year So or COZ he sent
q body OF picked soldiers with orders
to STAY her in her villa on the Lu,
crime Lake. near Ba1ae-which they
did.
And thus did the second part 81
the socthsayer's prophecy-the grin
| part-como to tulfillment.
Her son would become Emperor
and then kill her, the soothsayer had
told Agrippina and both Of tho
things prophesied came to pass.
LET him kill me. but let hin
reignr-the tiger mother had said
And fate took her at her word.
Julia Agrippina, daughter OF
Germanicus and AgriPpfna (who
was the child of Julia, daughter
of Augustus Caesar) was born
about IS A. d. While very
young she married Domitius
Ahenobarbus, the father of her
son Nero.
Following the death of
Ahenobarbus-an inconsequen-
tial matrimonial venture with
Crfspus PassienuS having inter-
vened-she married her uncle,
Emperor CiaudiuS ga A. d.
She was abandoned in charac-
ter and ruthlessiy turned her
efforts 10 the advancement of
Nero throneward. Some few
years after his elevation TO the
throne Nero FLASHED with his
mother and Gin So or SOD had
her put 60 death.
