1 |
Noble patricians, patrons of my right,
|
|
2 |
How fair the tribune speaks to calm my thoughts! |
|
3 |
Friends, that have been thus forward in my right,
|
|
4 |
Proud and ambitious tribune, canst thou tell? |
|
5 |
Romans, do me right:
|
|
6 |
Titus Andronicus, for thy favors done
|
|
7 |
Thanks, noble Titus, father of my life!
|
|
8 |
A goodly lady, trust me; of the hue
|
|
9 |
Thanks, sweet Lavinia. Romans, let us go;
|
|
10 |
Surprised! by whom? |
|
11 |
No, Titus, no; the emperor needs her not,
|
|
12 |
But go thy ways; go, give that changing piece
|
|
13 |
And therefore, lovely Tamora, queen of Goths,
|
|
14 |
Ascend, fair queen, Pantheon. Lords, accompany
|
|
15 |
So, Bassianus, you have play'd your prize:
|
|
16 |
Traitor, if Rome have law or we have power,
|
|
17 |
'Tis good, sir: you are very short with us;
|
|
18 |
What, madam! be dishonour'd openly,
|
|
19 |
Rise, Titus, rise; my empress hath prevail'd. |
|
20 |
Away, and talk not; trouble us no more. |
|
21 |
Marcus, for thy sake and thy brother's here,
|
|
22 |
Be it so, Titus, and gramercy too. |
|
23 |
And you have rung it lustily, my lord;
|
|
24 |
Come on, then; horse and chariots let us have,
|
|
25 |
Along with me: I'll see what hole is here,
|
|
26 |
My brother dead! I know thou dost but jest:
|
|
27 |
Here, Tamora, though grieved with killing grief. |
|
28 |
Now to the bottom dost thou search my wound:
|
|
29 |
[Reads] 'An if we miss to meet him handsomely—
|
|
30 |
[To TITUS] Two of thy whelps, fell curs of
|
|
31 |
If it be proved! you see it is apparent.
|
|
32 |
Thou shalt not bail them: see thou follow me.
|
|
33 |
Why, lords, what wrongs are these! was ever seen
|
|
34 |
Go, take him away, and hang him presently. |
|
35 |
Despiteful and intolerable wrongs!
|
|
36 |
Is warlike Lucius general of the Goths?
|
|
37 |
Ay, but the citizens favor Lucius,
|
|
38 |
But he will not entreat his son for us. |
|
39 |
AEmilius, do this message honourably:
|
|
40 |
Then go successantly, and plead to him. |
|
41 |
What, hath the firmament more suns than one? |
|
42 |
Marcus, we will.
|
|
43 |
Why art thou thus attired, Andronicus? |
|
44 |
It was, Andronicus. |
|
45 |
Because the girl should not survive her shame,
|
|
46 |
What hast thou done, unnatural and unkind? |
|
47 |
What, was she ravish'd? tell who did the deed. |
|
48 |
Go fetch them hither to us presently. |
|
49 |
Die, frantic wretch, for this accursed deed! |
