Poppaea

Poppaea:

Poppaea awaits his friend, while Lucrio is in the villa. Boys run into the villa proclaiming that actors have arrived, but Lucrio thinks it was Poppaea who made the racket in the villa that woke Lucrio from his sleep. Poppaea tells Luciro that the actors are in the theater playing out a story -- and Lucrio wants to go to the theater to see for himself. After Lucrio leaves, friends enter the villa (including Grumio). Grumio seems to be pleased that Lucrio has left for the evening, and shouts a hurrah.
