:22:01
Titus, thou shalt but ask
and have the empery.
:22:03
Proud and ambitious Tribune,
canst thou tell?
:22:06
Patience, Prince Saturnine.
:22:07
Romans, do me right!
:22:08
Patricians, draw your swords
and sheathe them not
:22:11
till Saturninus be Rome's emperor!
:22:13
Andronicus, would thou
wert shipped to hell
:22:16
rather than rob me
of the people's hearts!
:22:18
Proud Saturnine,
interrupter of the good
:22:20
that noble-minded Titus means to thee.
:22:22
Content thee, Prince.
:22:24
I will restore to thee
the people's hearts
:22:26
and wean them from themselves.
:22:38
Andronicus,
:22:39
I do not flatter thee
but honor thee,
:22:41
and will do till I die.
:22:43
My faction,
if thou strengthen with thy friends,
:22:46
I will most thankful be.
:22:52
People of Rome
and people's tribunes here,
:22:55
I ask your voices
and your suffrages.
:22:59
Will you bestow them friendly
on Andronicus?
:23:07
To gratify the good Andronicus
:23:10
and gratulate
his safe return to Rome,
:23:12
the people will accept
whom he admits.
:23:16
Tribunes, I thank you,
and this suit I make...
:23:19
that you create
your emperor's eldest son,
:23:21
Lord Saturnine,
whose virtues will, I hope,
:23:24
reflect on Rome
as Titan's rays on Earth.
:23:27
And if you will elect by my advice,
:23:30
crown him and say,
:23:32
" Long live our emperor!"
:23:35
Long live our Emperor Saturnine!
:23:56
Patricians and plebeians,
:23:58
we create Lord Saturninus
Rome's great emperor
