MARCUS ANDRONICUS My lord, this is impiety in you:
My nephew Mutius' deeds do plead for him
He must be buried with his brethren.
QUINTUS |
| And shall, or him we will accompany.
MARTIUS |
TITUS ANDRONICUS 'And shall!' what villain was it that spake
that word?
QUINTUS He that would vouch it in any place but here.
TITUS ANDRONICUS What, would you bury him in my despite?
MARCUS ANDRONICUS No, noble Titus, but entreat of thee
To pardon Mutius and to bury him.
TITUS ANDRONICUS Marcus, even thou hast struck upon my crest,
And, with these boys, mine honour thou hast wounded:
My foes I do repute you every one;
So, trouble me no more, but get you gone.
MARTIUS He is not with himself; let us withdraw.
QUINTUS Not I, till Mutius' bones be buried.
[MARCUS and the Sons of TITUS kneel]
MARCUS ANDRONICUS Brother, for in that name doth nature plead,--
QUINTUS Father, and in that name doth nature speak,--
TITUS ANDRONICUS Speak thou no more, if all the rest will speed.
MARCUS ANDRONICUS Renowned Titus, more than half my soul,--
LUCIUS Dear father, soul and substance of us all,--
MARCUS ANDRONICUS Suffer thy brother Marcus to inter
His noble nephew here in virtue's nest,
That died in honour and Lavinia's cause.
