  1. Not so, my lord; the gods of Rome forfend<\/li>
  2. I should be author to dishonour you!<\/li>
  3. But on mine honour dare I undertake<\/li>
  4. For good Lord Titus’ innocence in all;<\/li>
  5. Whose fury not dissembled speaks his griefs:<\/li>
  6. Then, at my suit, look graciously on him;<\/li>
  7. Lose not so noble a friend on vain suppose,<\/li>
  8. Nor with sour looks afflict his gentle heart.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    1. be won at last;<\/li>
    2. Dissemble all your griefs and discontents:<\/li>
    3. You are but newly planted in your throne;<\/li>
    4. Lest, then, the people, and patricians too,<\/li>
    5. Upon a just survey, take Titus’ part,<\/li>
    6. And so supplant you for ingratitude,<\/li>
    7. Which Rome reputes to be a heinous sin,<\/li>
    8. Yield at entreats; and then let me alone:<\/li>
    9. I’ll find a day to massacre them all<\/li>
    10. And raze their faction and their family,<\/li>
    11. The cruel father and his traitorous sons,<\/li>
    12. To whom I sued for my dear son’s life,<\/li>
    13. And make them know what ’tis to let a queen<\/li>
    14. Kneel in the streets and beg for grace in vain.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Aloud<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Come, come, sweet emperor; come, Andronicus;<\/li>
      2. Take up this good old man, and cheer the heart<\/li>
      3. That dies in tempest of thy angry frown.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
