:37:03
God give you joy, sir,
of your gallant bride.

:37:07
And you of yours, my lord.
:37:09
I say no more nor wish no less,
:37:11
and so I take my leave.
:37:14
Traitor!
:37:16
If Rome have law or we have power,
:37:20
thou and thy faction
shall repent this rape.

:37:23
Rape call you it, my lord,
:37:25
to seize my own,
my true-betrothed love,

:37:27
and now my wife?
:37:29
But let the laws
of Rome determine all.

:37:31
Meanwhile, I am possessed
of that is mine.

:37:33
'Tis good, sir.
:37:34
You are very short with us.
:37:37
But if we live,
:37:38
we'll be as sharp with you.
:37:40
My lord,
what I have done, as best I may,

:37:43
answer I must and shall do
with my life.

:37:48
This noble gentleman--
Lord Titus here--

:37:50
is in opinion and in honor wronged.
:37:53
That in the rescue of Lavinia,
with his own hand

:37:56
did slay his youngest son
in zeal to you.

:37:58
Receive him then to favor, Saturnine.
:38:01
Prince Bassianus,
:38:03
leave to plead my deeds.
:38:05
'Tis thou and those
that have dishonored me.

:38:10
Rome and the righteous heavens
be my judge

:38:13
how I have loved
and honored Saturnine.

:38:15
I can do no more.
:38:17
Patience, Bassianus.
:38:18
My worthy lord,
if ever Tamora were gracious

:38:22
in those princely eyes of thine,
:38:24
then hear me speak
indifferently for all.

:38:28
And at my suit, sweet,
pardon what is past.

:38:32
What, madam?
Be dishonored openly

:38:35
and basely put it up
without revenge?

:38:37
Not so, my lord.
The gods of Rome for fend

:38:40
I should be author to dishonor you.
:38:43
But on mine honor dare I undertake
:38:47
for good Lord Titus'
innocence in all,

:38:50
whose fury, not dissembled,
speaks his griefs.

:38:54
Then at my suit
look graciously on him.

:38:59
Lose not so noble a friend
on vain suppose.
