advanced above pale envy's
threatening reach.

:43:05
As when the golden sun
salutes the morn

:43:08
and, having gilt the ocean
with his beams,

:43:12
gallops the zodiac
in his glistering coach

:43:14
and overlooks
the highest peering hills.

:43:21
So Tamora.
:43:23
Upon her wit doth earthly honor wait,
:43:26
and virtue stoops
and trembles at her frown.

:43:31
Then, Aaron, arm thy heart
and fit thy thoughts

:43:37
to mount aloft
with thy imperial mistress

:43:41
and mount her pitch,
whom thou in triumph

:43:44
long hast prisoner held
fettered in amorous chains.

:43:49
Away with slavish weeds
and servile thoughts!

:43:52
I will be bright and shine
in pearl and gold

:43:56
to wait upon
this new-made empress.

:44:00
To wait, said I ?
:44:04
To wanton with this queen,
this goddess,

:44:07
this Semiramis, this nymph,
:44:10
this siren that will charm
Rome's Saturnine

:44:13
and see his shipwreck
and his commonweal's.

:44:17
Holloa!
:44:19
What storm is this?
:44:28
Chiron,
thy years wants wit.

:44:30
Thy wit wants edge and manners
:44:32
to intrude where I am graced
:44:34
and may, for aught thou knowest,
affected be.

:44:37
Demetrius, thou dost overween in all,
:44:39
and so in this,
:44:40
to bear me down with braves.
:44:43
'Tis not the difference
of a year or two

:44:45
makes me less gracious
or thee more fortunate.

:44:48
I am as able and as fit
as thou to serve

:44:51
and to deserve my mistress' grace.
:44:54
That my sword
upon thee shall approve

:44:56
and plead my passions
for Lavinia's love.

:44:59
Clubs, clubs!
