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

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

TITUS ANDRONICUS
wave by wave�察 �Expecting ever when some envious surge Will in his
brinish bowels swallow him。 This way to death my wretched sons are
gone�察 �Here stands my other son�察 �a banish'd man�察�And here my brother�察�
weeping at my woes。 But that which gives my soul the greatest spurn Is
dear Lavinia�察�dearer than my soul。 Had I but seen thy picture in this plight�察�
It would have madded me�察�what shall I do Now I behold thy lively body
so�拭�Thou hast no hands to wipe away thy tears�察�Nor tongue to tell me who
hath martyr'd thee�察�Thy husband he is dead�察�and for his death Thy brothers
are condemn'd�察�and dead by this。 Look�察�Marcus� �Ah�察�son Lucius�察�look on
her� �When I did name her brothers�察�then fresh tears Stood on her cheeks�察�
as doth the honey dew Upon a gath'red lily almost withered。 MARCUS。
Perchance she weeps because they kill'd her husband�察�Perchance because
she knows them innocent。 TITUS。 If they did kill thy husband�察 �then be
joyful�察�Because the law hath ta'en revenge on them。 No�察�no�察�they would
not do so foul a deed�察�Witness the sorrow that their sister makes。 Gentle
Lavinia�察�let me kiss thy lips�察�Or make some sign how I may do thee ease。
Shall thy good uncle and thy brother Lucius And thou and I sit round
about some fountain�察�Looking all downwards to behold our cheeks How
they are stain'd�察�like meadows yet not dry With miry slime left on them by
a flood�拭�And in the fountain shall we gaze so long�察�Till the fresh taste be
taken from that clearness�察�And made a brine´pit with our bitter tears�拭�Or
shall we cut away our hands like thine�拭�Or shall we bite our tongues�察�and
in dumb shows Pass the remainder of our hateful days�拭�What shall we do�拭�
Let us that have our tongues Plot some device of further misery To make
us wonder'd at in time to come。 LUCIUS。 Sweet father�察�cease your tears�察�
for at your grief See how my wretched sister sobs and weeps。 MARCUS。
Patience�察 �dear niece。 Good Titus�察 �dry thine eyes。 TITUS。 Ah�察 �Marcus�察�
Marcus� �Brother�察�well I wot Thy napkin cannot drink a tear of mine�察�For
thou�察�poor man�察�hast drown'd it with thine own。 LUCIUS。 Ah�察�my Lavinia�察�
I will wipe thy cheeks。 TITUS。 Mark�察 �Marcus�察 �mark� �I understand her
signs。 Had she a tongue to speak�察�now would she say That to her brother
which I said to thee�此�His napkin�察�with his true tears all bewet�察�Can do no
service on her sorrowful cheeks。 O�察�what a sympathy of woe is this As far
from help as Limbo is from bliss� �

TITUS ANDRONICUS
Enter AARON the Moor
AARON。 Titus Andronicus�察 �my lord the Emperor Sends thee this
word�察�that�察�if thou love thy sons�察�Let Marcus�察�Lucius�察�or thyself�察�old Titus�察�
Or any one of you�察�chop off your hand And send it to the King�此�he for the
same Will send thee hither both thy sons alive�察 �And that shall be the
ransom for their fault。 TITUS。 O gracious Emperor� �O gentle Aaron� �Did
ever raven sing so like a lark That gives sweet tidings of the sun's uprise�拭�
With all my heart I'll send the Emperor my hand。 Good Aaron�察�wilt thou
help to chop it off�拭 �LUCIUS。 Stay�察 �father� �for that noble hand of thine�察�
That hath thrown down so many enemies�察�Shall not be sent。 My hand will
serve the turn�察 �My youth can better spare my blood than you�察 �And
therefore mine shall save my brothers' lives。 MARCUS。 Which of your
hands hath not defended Rome And rear'd aloft the bloody battle´axe�察�
Writing destruction on the enemy's castle�拭�O�察�none of both but are of high
desert� �My hand hath been but idle�察 �let it serve To ransom my two
nephews from their death�察�Then h
