1 |
Give us the proudest prisoner of the Goths,
|
|
2 |
Away with him! and make a fire straight;
|
|
3 |
See, lord and father, how we have perform'd
|
|
4 |
Proud Saturnine, interrupter of the good
|
|
5 |
And that he will, and shall, if Lucius live. |
|
6 |
My lord, you are unjust, and, more than so,
|
|
7 |
Dead, if you will; but not to be his wife,
|
|
8 |
But let us give him burial, as becomes;
|
|
9 |
Dear father, soul and substance of us all,— |
|
10 |
There lie thy bones, sweet Mutius, with thy friends,
|
|
11 |
We do, and vow to heaven and to his highness,
|
|
12 |
O noble father, you lament in vain:
|
|
13 |
My gracious lord, no tribune hears you speak. |
|
14 |
To rescue my two brothers from their death:
|
|
15 |
Ay me, this object kills me! |
|
16 |
Speak, gentle sister, who hath martyr'd thee? |
|
17 |
O, say thou for her, who hath done this deed? |
|
18 |
Sweet father, cease your tears; for, at your grief,
|
|
19 |
Ah, my Lavinia, I will wipe thy cheeks. |
|
20 |
Stay, father! for that noble hand of thine,
|
|
21 |
By heaven, it shall not go! |
|
22 |
Sweet father, if I shall be thought thy son,
|
|
23 |
Then I'll go fetch an axe. |
|
24 |
Ah, that this sight should make so deep a wound,
|
|
25 |
Farewell Andronicus, my noble father,
|
|
26 |
Approved warriors, and my faithful friends,
|
|
27 |
I humbly thank him, and I thank you all.
|
|
28 |
O worthy Goth, this is the incarnate devil
|
|
29 |
Too like the sire for ever being good.
|
|
30 |
Say on: an if it please me which thou speak'st
|
|
31 |
Tell on thy mind; I say thy child shall live. |
|
32 |
Who should I swear by? thou believest no god:
|
|
33 |
Even by my god I swear to thee I will. |
|
34 |
O most insatiate and luxurious woman! |
|
35 |
O detestable villain! call'st thou that trimming? |
|
36 |
O barbarous, beastly villains, like thyself! |
|
37 |
Art thou not sorry for these heinous deeds? |
|
38 |
Bring down the devil; for he must not die
|
|
39 |
Sirs, stop his mouth, and let him speak no more. |
|
40 |
Let him come near.
|
|
41 |
AEmilius, let the emperor give his pledges
|
|
42 |
Uncle Marcus, since it is my father's mind
|
|
43 |
Good uncle, take you in this barbarous Moor,
|
|
44 |
Away, inhuman dog! unhallow'd slave!
|
|
45 |
What boots it thee to call thyself a sun? |
|
46 |
Can the son's eye behold his father bleed?
|
|
47 |
Then, noble auditory, be it known to you,
|
|
48 |
Thanks, gentle Romans: may I govern so,
|
|
49 |
Come hither, boy; come, come, and learn of us
|
|
50 |
Set him breast-deep in earth, and famish him;
|
|
51 |
Some loving friends convey the emperor hence,
