It's my translation of one of my favourite lines from the poet Lucan, who wrote lots of gothy stuff in the court of Nero. His uncle was the gothy, Stephen King-esque poet/playright/makeover-expert Seneca, best known for his grand-guignol version of "Medea."
Nero was about as good for their family as Domitian has been to Felix's.
