:50:09
Ay, now begins our sorrows
to approach.
:50:14
'Tis he the common people love so much.
:50:17
Myself have often heard them say--
:50:19
when I have walked
like a private man--
:50:22
that Lucius' banishment
was wrongfully,
:50:25
and that they have wished
:50:28
that Lucius were their emperor.
:50:35
Why should you fear?
:50:36
Is not your city strong?
:50:39
Ay, but the citizens favor Lucius
:50:42
and will revolt from me
to succor him.
:50:45
King, be thy thoughts imperious
like thy name!
:50:52
Is the sun dimmed,
that gnats do fly in it?
:51:00
Then cheer thy spirit.
:51:02
For know, thou Emperor,
:51:04
I will enchant the old Andronicus
:51:08
with words more sweet
and yet more dangerous
:51:12
than bait to fish
or honey stalks to sheep.
:51:16
But he will not entreat
his son for us.
:51:19
If Tamora entreat him, then he will.
:51:29
Go thou before.
Be our ambassador.
:51:32
Say that the emperor requests
a parley of warlike Lucius
:51:36
and appoint the meeting
even at his father's house--
:51:39
the old Andronicus.
:51:41
Aemelius, do this message honorably.
:51:43
And if he stand on hostage
for his safety,
:51:46
bid him demand...
:51:48
what pledge shall please him best.
:51:50
Your bidding shall I do effectually.
:51:54
Now will I to that old Andronicus
:51:57
and temper him
with all the art I have.
