Excerpt
Excerpt: The Tragedie of Titus Andronicus; Actus Primus -- Scoena Prima -- Flourish. Enter the Tribunes and Senators aloft And then enter Saturninus and his Followers at one doore, and Bassianus and his Followers at the other, with Drum & Colours. Saturninus. Noble Patricians, Patrons of my right, Defend the justice of my Cause with Armes. And Countreymen, my loving Followers, Pleade my Successive Title with your Swords. I was the first borne Sonne, that was the last That wore the Imperiall Diadem of Rome: Then let my Fathers Honours live in me, Nor wrong mine Age with this indignitie. Bassianus. Romaines, Friends, Followers, Favourers of my Right: If ever Bassianus, Caesars Sonne, Were gracious in the eyes of Royall Rome, Keepe then this passage to the Capitoll: And suffer not Dishonour to approach Th? Imperiall Seate to Vertue: consecrate To Justice, Continence, and Nobility: But let Desert in pure Election shine; And Romanes, fight for Freedome in your Choice. Enter Marcus Andronicus aloft with the Crowne. Princes, that strive by Factions, and by Friends, Ambitiously for Rule and Empery: Know, that the people of Rome for whom we stand A speciall Party, have by Common voyce In Election for the Romane Emperie, Chosen Andronicus, Surnamed Pious, For many good and great deserts to Rome. A Nobler man, a braver Warriour, Lives not this day within the City Walles. He by the Senate is accited home From weary Warres against the barbarous Gothes, That with his Sonnes (a terror to our Foes) Hath yoak?d a Nation strong, train?d up in Armes.
