337331Ile trust by leysure, him that mocks me once,

338332Thee neuer, nor thy traiterous hawtie sonnes,

339333Confederates all thus to dishonour mee.

340334Was none in Rome to make a stale

341335But Saturnine? Full well Andronicus

342336Agree these deeds, with that prowd bragge of thine,

343337That saidst I begd the Empire at thy hands.

344338Titus O monstrous, what reprochfull words are these?

345339Saturn. But goe thy waies, goe giue that changing piece,

346340To him that florisht for her with his sword:

347341A valiant sonne in law thou shalt inioy,

348342One fit to bandie with thy lawlesse sonnes,

349343To ruffle in the Common-wealth of Rome.

350344Titus. These words are rasors to my wounded hart.

351345Satur. And therfore louely Tamora Queene of Gothes,

352346That like the statelie Thebe mongst her Nymphs,

353347Dost ouershine the gallanst Dames of Rome,

354348If thou be pleasde with this my sodaine choise,

355349Behold I choose thee Tamora for my Bride,

356350And will create thee Emperesse of Rome.

357351Speake Queene of Gothes dost thou applaud my choise?

358352And here I sweare by all the Romane Gods,

359353Sith Priest and holy water are so neere,

360354And tapers burne so bright, and euerything

361355In readines for Hymeneus stand,

362356I will not resalute the streets of Rome,

363357Or clime my Pallace, till from forth this place,

364358I lead espowsde my Bride along with mee.

365359Tamora. And here in sight of heauen to Rome I sweare,

366360If Saturnine aduaunce the Queene of Gothes,

367361Shee will a handmaide be to his desires,

368362A louing Nurse, a Mother to his youth.

369363Sat. Ascend faire Queene: Panthean Lords accompany

371364Your Noble Emperour and his louelie Bride,

372365Sent by the Heauens for Prince Saturnine,
