be so dishonored
in the court of Rome.

:46:02
For shame, put up.
:46:04
Not I, till I have sheathed
my rapier in his bosom

:46:07
and withal thrust these reproachful
speeches down his throat

:46:10
that he hath breathed
in my dishonor here.

:46:13
For that I am prepared
and full resolved.

:46:16
Foul-spoken coward,
:46:18
that thunderest with thy tongue
:46:20
and with thy weapon
nothing darest perform.

:46:22
Away, I say!
:46:24
Now, by the gods
that warlike Goths adore,

:46:26
this petty brabble
will undo us all.

:46:27
Why, lords,
think you not how dangerous it is

:46:30
to step upon a prince's right?
:46:32
What, is Lavinia then become so loose
:46:34
or Bassianus so degenerate
that for her love

:46:37
such quarrels may be broached
without controlment,

:46:40
justice, or revenge?
:46:41
Young lords, beware!
:46:43
And should the empress know
this discord's ground,

:46:45
the music would not please.
:46:47
I care not, I,
knew she and all the world.

:46:50
I love Lavinia
more than all the world!

:46:55
Youngling...
:46:57
learn thou to make
some meaner choice.

:46:59
Lavinia is thine elder brother's hope.
:47:07
Why, are ye mad?
Or know ye not in Rome

:47:10
how furious and impatient they be
:47:12
and cannot brook competitors in love?
:47:16
I tell you, lords,
:47:18
you do but plot your deaths
by this device.

:47:21
Aaron...
:47:22
a thousand deaths would I propose
:47:24
to achieve her whom I love.
:47:27
To achieve her! How?
:47:30
Why makest thou it so strange?
:47:32
She's a woman,
and therefore may be wooed.

:47:37
She's a woman...
:47:38
Ah!
:47:39
therefore may be won.
:47:43
She is Lavinia,
:47:45
and therefore must be loved.
:47:52
Why, then, it seems,
:47:53
some certain snatch or so
would serve your turns.

:47:57
Ay, so the turn were served.
:47:59
Aaron, thou hast hit it.
