:23:06
Speechless complainer,
I will learn thy thought.
:23:10
Thou shalt not sigh
nor hold thy stumps to heaven
:23:14
nor wink, nor nod,
nor kneel, nor make a sign,
:23:17
but I of these will wrest an alphabet
:23:19
and by still practice
learn to know thy meaning.
:23:31
What dost thou strike at,
Lucius, with thy knife?
:23:33
At that that I have killed,
my lord, a fly.
:23:37
Out on thee, murderer!
Kill'st my heart!
:23:39
A deed of death
done on the innocent
:23:41
becomes not Titus' grandson.
:23:42
Get thee gone.
:23:43
I see thou art not
for my company.
:23:44
Alas, my lord,
I have but killed a fly.
:23:47
But?
:23:48
How, if that fly had
a father and mother?
:23:50
How would they hang
their slender, gilded wings
:23:52
and buzz lamenting doings in the air!
:23:55
Poor, harmless fly,
:23:59
that with his pretty, buzzing melody
:24:00
came here to make us merry.
:24:02
And thou hast killed him.
:24:04
Pardon me, sir.
:24:06
It was a black, ill-favored fly,
:24:08
like to the empress' Moor.
:24:11
Therefore I killed him.
:24:13
Oh.
:24:15
Oh.
:24:17
Oh!
:24:19
Ha ha ha ha!
:24:21
Pardon me for reprehending thee,
:24:23
for thou hast done
a charitable deed.
:24:24
Give me thy knife.
:24:26
I will insult on him,
:24:27
flattering myself
as if it were the Moor
:24:29
come hither purposely
to poison me.
:24:31
There's for thyself,
and that's for Tamora!
:24:40
Ah, sirrah!
:24:42
As yet, I think,
we are not brought so low
:24:45
but that between us
we can kill a fly
:24:49
that comes in likeness
of a coal-black Moor.
