:31:00
Speak, Queen of Goths.
:31:02
Dost thou applaud my choice?
:31:07
If Saturnine advance
the queen of Goths,
:31:10
she will a handmaid be
to his desires,
:31:14
a loving nurse,
a mother to his youth.
:31:17
Ascend, fair Queen,
to the Pantheon.
:31:21
Lords, accompany
your noble emperor
:31:26
and his lovely bride.
:31:27
There shall we consummate
our spousal rites.
:31:40
Titus, when wert thou
wont to walk alone,
:31:44
dishonored thus
and challenged of wrongs?
:32:04
O Titus, see.
:32:06
Oh, see what thou hast done--
:32:10
in a bad quarrel
slain a virtuous son.
:32:15
No, foolish Tribune, no.
:32:17
No son of mine,
nor thou, nor these,
:32:20
confederates in the deed
:32:21
that hath dishonored all our family.
:32:24
But let us give him burial as becomes.
:32:26
Give Mutius burial with our brethren.
:32:28
Traitors, away!
He rests not in this tomb.
:32:32
Here none but soldiers
:32:34
and Rome's servitors repose in fame--
:32:37
none basely slain in brawls.
:32:40
Bury him where you can.
He comes not here.
:32:44
My lord, this is impiety in you.
:32:46
He must be buried with his brethren.
:32:48
And shall, or him we will accompany!
:32:49
And shall?
:32:52
What villain was it spake that word?
:32:55
He that would vouch it
in any place but here.
:32:57
What, would you bury him in my despite?
