2651Luc. Thankes gentle Romanes, may I gouerne so,

2652To heale Romes harmes, and wipe away her woe.

2653But gentle people, giue me ayme a-while,

2654For Nature puts me to a heauy taske:

2655Stand all aloofe, but Vnckle draw you neere,

2656To shed obsequious teares vpon this Trunke:

2657Oh take this warme kisse on thy pale cold lips,

2658These sorrowfull drops vpon thy bloud-slaine face,

2659The last true Duties of thy Noble Sonne.

2660Mar. Teare for teare, and louing kisse for kisse,

2661Thy Brother Marcus tenders on thy Lips:

2662O were the summe of these that I should pay

2663Countlesse, and infinit, yet would I pay them.

2664Luc. Come hither Boy, come, come, and learne of vs

2665To melt in showres: thy Grandsire lou'd thee well:

2666Many a time he danc'd thee on his knee:

2667Sung thee asleepe, his Louing Brest, thy Pillow:

2668Many a matter hath he told to thee,

2669Meete, and agreeing with thine Infancie:

2670In that respect then, like a louing Childe,

2671Shed yet some small drops from thy tender Spring,

2672Because kinde Nature doth require it so:

2673Friends, should associate Friends, in Greefe and Wo.

2674Bid him farwell, commit him to the Graue,

2675Do him that kindnesse, and take leaue of him.

2676Boy. O Grandsire, Grandsire: euen with all my heart

2677Would I were Dead, so you did Liue againe.

2678O Lord, I cannot speake to him for weeping,

2679My teares will choake me, if I ope my mouth.

2680Romans. You sad Andronici, haue done with woes,

2681Giue sentence on this execrable Wretch,

2682That hath beene breeder of these dire euents.

2683Luc. Set him brest deepe in earth, and famish him:

2684There let him stand, and raue, and cry for foode:

2685If any one releeues, or pitties him,

2686For the offence, he dyes. This is our doome:

2687Some stay, to see him fast'ned in the earth.

2688Aron. O why should wrath be mute, & Fury dumbe?

2689I am no Baby I, that with base Prayers

2690I should repent the Euils I haue done.

2691Ten thousand worse, then euer yet I did,

2692Would I performe if I might haue my will:

2693If one good Deed in all my life I did,

2694I do repent it from my very Soule.

2695Lucius. Some louing Friends conuey the Emp. hence,

2696And giue him buriall in his Fathers graue.

2697My Father, and Lauinia, shall forthwith

2698Be closed in our Housholds Monument:

2699As for that heynous Tyger Tamora,

2700No Funerall Rite, nor man in mournfull Weeds:

2701No mournfull Bell shall ring her Buriall:

2702But throw her foorth to Beasts and Birds of prey:

2703Her life was Beast-like, and deuoid of pitty,

2704And being so, shall haue like want of pitty.

2705See Iustice done on Aaron that damn'd Moore,

2706From whom, our heauy happes had their beginning:

2707Then afterwards, to Order well the State,

2708That like Euents, may ne're it Ruinate. Exeunt omnes.
