Titus Andronicus
[V, 2]

Tamora

2305

Thus, in this strange and sad habiliment,
I will encounter with Andronicus,
And say I am Revenge, sent from below
To join with him and right his heinous wrongs.
Knock at his study, where, they say, he keeps,
To ruminate strange plots of dire revenge;
Tell him Revenge is come to join with him,
And work confusion on his enemies.

Aemilius

You sad Andronici, have done with woes:
Give sentence on this execrable wretch,
That hath been breeder of these dire events.
