What�察 �are they in this pit�拭 �O wondrous thing� �How easily murder is
discovered� �TITUS。 High Emperor�察�upon my feeble knee I beg this boon�察�
with tears not lightly shed�察 �That this fell fault of my accursed sons´
Accursed if the fault be prov'd in them´ SATURNINUS。 If it be prov'd� �
You see it is apparent。 Who found this letter�拭 �Tamora�察 �was it you�拭�

TAMORA。 Andronicus himself did take it up。 TITUS。 I did�察�my lord�察�yet
let me be their bail�察�For�察�by my fathers' reverend tomb�察�I vow They shall
be ready at your Highness' will To answer their suspicion with their lives。
SATURNINUS。 Thou shalt not bail them�察�see thou follow me。 Some bring
the murdered body�察�some the murderers�察�Let them not speak a word´ the
guilt is plain�察�For�察�by my soul�察�were there worse end than death�察�That end
upon them should be executed。 TAMORA。 Andronicus�察�I will entreat the
King。 Fear not thy sons�察�they shall do well enough。 TITUS。 Come�察�Lucius�察�
come�察�stay not to talk with them。 Exeunt

SCENE IV。 Another part of the forest
Enter the Empress' sons�察�DEMETRIUS and CHIRON�察�with LAVINIA�察�
her hands cut off�察�and her tongue cut out�察�and ravish'd
DEMETRIUS。 So�察�now go tell�察�an if thy tongue can speak�察�Who 'twas
that cut thy tongue and ravish'd thee。 CHIRON。 Write down thy mind�察�
bewray thy meaning so�察�An if thy stumps will let thee play the scribe。
DEMETRIUS。 See how with signs and tokens she can scrowl。 CHIRON。
Go home�察�call for sweet water�察�wash thy hands。 DEMETRIUS。 She hath
no tongue to call�察�nor hands to wash�察�And so let's leave her to her silent
walks。 CHIRON。 An 'twere my cause�察 �I should go hang myself。
DEMETRIUS。 If thou hadst hands to help thee knit the cord。 Exeunt
DEMETRIUS and CHIRON
Wind horns。 Enter MARCUS�察�from hunting
MARCUS。 Who is this�拭� my niece�察�that flies away so fast�拭�Cousin�察�a
word�此�where is your husband�拭�If I do dream�察�would all my wealth would
wake me� �If I do wake�察�some planet strike me down�察�That I may slumber
an eternal sleep� �Speak�察 �gentle niece。 What stern ungentle hands Hath
lopp'd�察 �and hew'd�察 �and made thy body bare Of her two branches´ those
sweet ornaments Whose circling shadows kings have sought to sleep in�察�
And might not gain so great a happiness As half thy love�拭�Why dost not
speak to me�拭�Alas�察 �a crimson river of warm blood�察 �Like to a bubbling
fountain stirr'd with wind�察 �Doth rise and fall between thy rosed lips�察�
Coming and going with thy honey breath。 But sure some Tereus hath
deflowered thee�察�And�察�lest thou shouldst detect him�察�cut thy tongue。 Ah�察�
now thou turn'st away thy face for shame� �And notwithstanding all this
loss of blood´ As from a conduit with three issuing spouts´ Yet do thy
cheeks look red as Titan's face Blushing to be encount'red with a cloud。
Shall I speak for thee�拭�Shall I say 'tis so�拭�O�察�that I knew thy heart�察 �and
knew the beast�察 �That I might rail at him to ease my mind� �Sorrow
concealed�察�like an oven stopp'd�察�Doth burn the heart to cinders where it is。
Fair Philomel�察�why she but lost her tongue�察�And in a tedious sampler sew'd
her mind�察�But�察�lovely niece�察�that mean is cut from thee。 A craftier Tereus�察�
cousin�察�hast thou met�察�And he hath cut those pretty fingers off That could

have better sew'd than Philomel。 O�察�had the monster seen those lily hands
Tremble like aspen leaves upon a lute And make the silken strings delight
to kiss them�察�He would not then have touch'd them for his life� �Or had he
heard the heavenly harmony Which that sweet tongue hath made�察 �He
would have dropp'd his knife�察�and fell asleep�察�As Cerberus at the Thracian
poet's feet。 Come�察�let us go�察�and make thy father blind�察�For such a sight
will blind a father's eye�察�One hour's storm will drown the fragrant meads�察�
What will whole months of tears thy father's eyes�拭�Do not draw back�察�for
we will mourn with thee�察�O�察�could our mourning case thy misery� �Exeunt

TITUS ANDRONICUS
SCENE I。 Rome。 A street
Enter the JUDGES�察�TRIBUNES�察�and SENATORS�察 �with TITUS' two
sons MARTIUS and QUINTUS bound�察�passing on the stage to the place
of execution�察�and TITUS going before�察�pleading
TITUS。 Hear me�察 �grave fathers�察 �noble Tribunes�察 �stay� �For pity of
mine age�察�whose youth was spent In dangerous wars whilst you securely
slept�察 �For all my blood in Rome's great quarrel shed�察 �For all the frosty
nights that I have watch'd�察�And for these bitter tears�察�which now you see
Filling the aged wrinkles in my cheeks�察�Be pitiful to my condemned sons�察�
Whose souls are not corrupted as 'tis thought。 For two and twenty sons I
never wept�察 �Because they died in honour's lofty bed。 ��ANDRONICUS
lieth down�察�and the judges pass by him with the prisoners�察�and exeunt�А�For
these�察�Tribunes�察�in the dust I write My heart's deep languor and my soul's
sad tears。 Let my tears stanch the earth's dry appetite�察 �My sons' sweet
blood will make it shame and blush。 O earth�察 �I will befriend thee more
with rain That shall distil from these two ancient urns�察�Than youthful April
shall with all his show'rs。 In summer's drought I'll drop upon thee still�察�In
winter with warm tears I'll melt the snow And keep eternal spring´time on
thy face�察�So thou refuse to drink my dear sons' blood。
Enter Lucius with his weapon drawn
O reverend Tribunes� �O gentle aged men� �Unbind my sons�察�reverse
the doom of death�察�And let me say�察�that never wept before�察�My tears are
now prevailing orators。 LUCIUS。 O noble father�察�you lament in vain�察�The
Tribunes hear you not�察�no man is by�察�And you recount your sorrows to a
stone。 TITUS。 Ah�察�Lucius�察�for thy brothers let me plead� �Grave Tribunes�察�
once more I entreat of you。 LUCIUS。 My gracious lord�察�no tribune hears
you speak。 TITUS。 Why�察�'tis no matter�察�man�此�if they did hear�察�They would
not mark me�察�if they did mark�察�They would not pity me�察�yet plead I must�察�
And bootless unto them。 Therefore I tell my sorrows to the stones�察�Who
though they cannot answer my distress�察�Yet in some sort they are better
than the Tribunes�察�For that they will not intercept my tale。 When I do weep�察�
they humbly at my feet Receive my tears�察�and seem to weep with me�察�And
were they but attired in grave weeds�察�Rome could afford no tribunes like
29

TITUS ANDRONICUS
to these。 A stone is soft as wax�此�tribunes more hard than stones。 A stone is
silent and offendeth not�察�And tribunes with their tongues doom men to
death。 ��Rises�А �But wherefore stand'st thou with thy weapon drawn�拭�
LUCIUS。 To rescue my two brothers from their death�察�For which attempt
the judges have pronounc'd My everlasting doom of banishment。 TITUS。
O happy man� �they have befriended thee。 Why�察�foolish Lucius�察�dost thou
not perceive That Rome is but a wilderness of tigers�拭�Tigers must prey�察�
and Rome affords no prey But me and mine�察 �how happy art thou then
From these devourers to be banished� �But who comes with our brother
Marcus here�拭�
Enter MARCUS with LAVINIA
MARCUS。 Titus�察 �prepare thy aged eyes to weep�察 �Or if not so�察 �thy
noble heart to break。 I bring consuming sorrow to thine age。 TITUS。 Will
it consume me�拭 �Let me see it then。 MARCUS。 This was thy daughter。
TITUS。 Why�察 �Marcus�察 �so she is。 LUCIUS。 Ay me� �this object kills me。
TITUS。 Faint´hearted boy�察�arise�察�and look upon her。 Speak�察�Lavinia�察�what
accursed hand Hath made thee handless in thy father's sight�拭�What fool
hath added water to the sea�察 �Or brought a fagot to bright´burning Troy�拭�
My grief was at the height before thou cam'st�察 �And now like Nilus it
disdaineth bounds。 Give me a sword�察�I'll chop off my hands too�察�For they
have fought for Rome�察�and all in vain�察�And they have nurs'd this woe in
feeding life�察 �In bootless prayer have they been held up�察�And they have
serv'd me to effectless use。 Now all the service I require of them Is that the
one will help to cut the other。 'Tis well�察�Lavinia�察�that thou hast no hands�察�
For hands to do Rome service is but vain。 LUCIUS。 Speak�察�gentle sister�察�
who hath martyr'd thee�拭 �MARCUS。 O�察 �that delightful engine of her
thoughts That blabb'd them with such pleasing eloquence Is torn from
forth that pretty hollow cage�察�Where like a sweet melodious bird it sung
Sweet varied notes�察�enchanting every ear� �LUCIUS。 O�察�say thou for her�察�
who hath done this deed�拭�MARCUS。 O�察�thus I found her straying in the
park�察 �Seeking to hide herself as doth the deer That hath receiv'd some
unrecuring wound。 TITUS。 It was my dear�察�and he that wounded her Hath
hurt me more than had he kill'd me dead�察�For now I stand as one upon a
rock�察�Environ'd with a wilderness of sea�察�Who marks the waxing tide grow
