"My lord, be rul'd by me, be won at last; Dissemble all your griefs and discontents. You are but newly planted in your throne; Lest, then, the people, and patricians too, Upon a just survey, take Titus' part, And so supplant you for ingratitude, (Which Rome reputes to be a heinous sin,) Yield at entreats; and then let me alone: I'll find a day to massacre them all, And raze their faction and their family, The cruel father and his traitorous sons, To whom I sued for my dear son's life; And make them know, what 't is to let a queen Kneel in the streets and beg for grace in vain. — Come, come, sweet Emperor. — Come, Andronicus. — Take up this good old man, and cheer the heart That dies in tempest of thy angry frown."
