10521015Who found this letter, Tamora was it you?

10531016Tamora. Andronicus himselfe did take it vp.

10541017Titus. I did my Lord, yet let me be their baile,

10561018For by my Fathers reuerent toombe I vowe,

10571019They shall be ready at your highnes will,

10581020To answere their suspition with their liues.

10591021King. Thou shalt not baile them, see thou follow me.

10601022Some bring the murthered body, some the murtherers,

10611023Let them not speake a word the guilt is plaine,

10621024For by my soule, were there worse end than death,

10631025That end vpon them should be executed.

10641026Tamora. Andronicus I will intreat the King,

10651027Feare not thy sonnes, they shall doe well enough.

10661028Titus. Come Lucius come, stay not to talke with them.

10701031Deme. So now go tell and if thy tongue can speake,

10711032Who twas that cut thy tongue and rauisht thee.

10721033Chi. Write downe thy minde bewray thy meaning so,

10731034And if thy stumpes will let thee play the scribe.

10741035Deme. See how with signes and tokens she can scrowle.

10751036Chi. Goe home, call for sweet water wash thy hands.

10771037Demet. She hath no tongue to call, nor hands to wash'

10781038And so lets leaue her to her silent walkes.

10791039Chi. And twere my cause, I should goe hang myselfe.

10801040Dmet. If thou hadst hands to helpe thee knit the corde.

10841043Who is this, my Neece that flies away so fast,

10851044Cosen a word, where is your husband:

10861045If I doe dreame would all my wealth would wake me.
