:23:07
To gratify the good Andronicus
:23:10
and gratulate
his safe return to Rome,
:23:12
the people will accept
whom he admits.
:23:16
Tribunes, I thank you,
and this suit I make...
:23:19
that you create
your emperor's eldest son,
:23:21
Lord Saturnine,
whose virtues will, I hope,
:23:24
reflect on Rome
as Titan's rays on Earth.
:23:27
And if you will elect by my advice,
:23:30
crown him and say,
:23:32
" Long live our emperor!"
:23:35
Long live our Emperor Saturnine!
:23:56
Patricians and plebeians,
:23:58
we create Lord Saturninus
Rome's great emperor
:24:02
and say,
" Long live our Emperor Saturnine!"
:24:21
Titus Andronicus,
:24:24
for thy favors done to us
in our election this day
:24:28
I give thee thanks
in part of thy deserts
:24:33
and will with deeds
requite thy gentleness.
:24:38
And, for an onset, Titus,
:24:42
to advance thy name
and honorable family,
:24:47
Lavinia will I make my empress,
:24:51
Rome's royal mistress,
:24:53
mistress of my heart,
:24:56
and in the sacred Pantheon her espouse.
