:38:04
But if you brave the Moor,
:38:06
the chafed boar,
the mountain lioness,
:38:09
the ocean swells not so
as Aaron storms.
:38:17
But say again,
how many saw the child?
:38:21
Cornelia the midwife and myself
:38:25
and no one else but
the delivered empress.
:38:29
The empress...
:38:32
the midwife...
:38:34
and yourself.
:38:38
Two may keep counsel
when the third's away.
:38:42
Go to the empress...
:38:44
tell her this I said!
:38:52
So cries a pig prepared to the spit.
:38:54
What meanest thou, Aaron?
:38:57
Wherefore didst thou this?
:38:59
Oh, lord, sir,
:39:01
'tis a deed of policy.
:39:04
What? Should she live to betray
this guilt of ours,
:39:06
a long-tongued babbling gossip?
:39:09
No, lords. No.
:39:10
Harkye, lords.
:39:12
You see I have given her physic.
:39:14
You must needs bestow her funeral.
:39:16
The fields are near.
You are gallant grooms.
:39:19
This done,
make sure you take no longer days
:39:22
but send the midwife presently to me.
:39:24
The midwife and the nurse
well made away,
:39:27
then let the ladies tattle
what they please.
:39:30
Aaron, I see thou wilt not trust
the air with secrets.
:39:35
For this care of Tamora,
:39:38
herself and hers are
highly bound to thee.
:39:43
Now to the Goths,
as swift as swallow flies,
:39:47
there to dispose
this treasure in mine arms
:39:50
and secretly to greet
the empress' friends.
:39:56
Come on, you thick-lipped slave.
:39:59
I'll bear you hence,
