1 |
Now climbeth Tamora Olympus' top,
|
|
2 |
[Aside] Clubs, clubs! these lovers will not keep
|
|
3 |
[Coming forward] Why, how now, lords!
|
|
4 |
Away, I say!
|
|
5 |
Why, are ye mad? or know ye not, in Rome
|
|
6 |
To achieve her! how? |
|
7 |
[Aside] Ay, and as good as Saturninus may. |
|
8 |
Why, then, it seems, some certain snatch or so
|
|
9 |
Would you had hit it too!
|
|
10 |
For shame, be friends, and join for that you jar:
|
|
11 |
He that had wit would think that I had none,
|
|
12 |
Madam, though Venus govern your desires,
|
|
13 |
No more, great empress; Bassianus comes:
|
|
14 |
Come on, my lords, the better foot before:
|
|
15 |
[Aside] Now will I fetch the king to find them here,
|
|
16 |
My gracious lord, here is the bag of gold. |
|
17 |
Titus Andronicus, my lord the emperor
|
|
18 |
Nay, come, agree whose hand shall go along,
|
|
19 |
[Aside] If that be call'd deceit, I will be honest,
|
|
20 |
I go, Andronicus: and for thy hand
|
|
21 |
Ay, some mad message from his mad grandfather. |
|
22 |
Ay, just; a verse in Horace; right, you have it.
|
|
23 |
Had he not reason, Lord Demetrius?
|
|
24 |
Here lacks but your mother for to say amen. |
|
25 |
[Aside] Pray to the devils; the gods have given us over. |
|
26 |
Well, more or less, or ne'er a whit at all,
|
|
27 |
Why, what a caterwauling dost thou keep!
|
|
28 |
To whom? |
|
29 |
Well, God give her good rest! What hath he sent her? |
|
30 |
Why, then she is the devil's dam; a joyful issue. |
|
31 |
'Zounds, ye whore! is black so base a hue?
|
|
32 |
That which thou canst not undo. |
|
33 |
Villain, I have done thy mother. |
|
34 |
It shall not die. |
|
35 |
What, must it, nurse? then let no man but I
|
|
36 |
Sooner this sword shall plough thy bowels up.
|
|
37 |
My mistress is my mistress; this myself,
|
|
38 |
Why, there's the privilege your beauty bears:
|
|
39 |
Then sit we down, and let us all consult.
|
|
40 |
Why, so, brave lords! when we join in league,
|
|
41 |
The empress, the midwife, and yourself:
|
|
42 |
O Lord, sir, 'tis a deed of policy:
|
|
43 |
Now to the Goths, as swift as swallow flies;
|
|
44 |
Touch not the boy; he is of royal blood. |
|
45 |
Lucius, save the child,
|
|
46 |
An if it please thee! why, assure thee, Lucius,
|
|
47 |
Swear that he shall, and then I will begin. |
|
48 |
What if I do not? as, indeed, I do not;
|
|
49 |
First know thou, I begot him on the empress. |
|
50 |
Tut, Lucius, this was but a deed of charity
|
|
51 |
Why, she was wash'd and cut and trimm'd, and 'twas
|
|
52 |
Indeed, I was their tutor to instruct them:
|
|
53 |
Ay, like a black dog, as the saying is. |
|
54 |
Ay, that I had not done a thousand more.
|
|
55 |
If there be devils, would I were a devil,
|
|
56 |
Some devil whisper curses in mine ear,
|
|
57 |
O, why should wrath be mute, and fury dumb?
