:33:01
Oh, belike for joy
the emperor hath a son.

:33:04
Soft! Who comes here?
:33:10
Good morrow, lords.
:33:12
Oh, tell me,
:33:13
did you see Aaron the Moor?
:33:16
Well, more or less,
or ne'er a wit at all.

:33:19
Here Aaron is,
and what with Aaron now?

:33:23
O gentle Aaron...
:33:24
we are all undone!
:33:26
Now, help,
or woe betide thee evermore.

:33:30
What a caterwauling dost thou keep.
:33:31
What dost thou wrap and fumble
in thine arms?

:33:34
Oh, that which I would
hide from heaven's eye--

:33:37
our empress' shame
and stately Rome's disgrace.

:33:41
She is delivered, lords,
she is delivered.

:33:45
To whom?
:33:46
I mean, she is brought abed.
:33:49
Well, God give her good rest.
:33:51
What hath he sent her?
:33:53
A devil.
:33:57
Why, then,
she is the devil's dam,

:33:59
a joyful issue.
:34:01
A joyless, dismal, black,
and sorrowful issue.

:34:05
Here is the babe,
:34:06
as loathsome as a toad
:34:08
amongst the fairest breeders
of our clime.

:34:11
The empress sends it thee,
:34:15
thy stamp, thy seal,
:34:17
and bids thee christen it
with thy dagger's point.

:34:19
'Zounds, ye whore!
:34:21
Is black so base a hue?
:34:26
Sweet blowse, you are
a beauteous blossom, sure.

:34:30
Villain,
:34:32
what hast thou done?
:34:34
That which thou canst not undo.
:34:37
Thou hast undone our mother.
:34:38
Villain, I have done thy mother.
:34:42
And therein, hellish dog,
:34:43
thou hast undone her!
:34:47
Accursed the offspring
of so foul a fiend!

:34:49
It shall not live.
:34:52
It shall not die!
:34:54
Aaron, it must.
The mother wills it so.

:34:57
What? Must it, Nurse?
