[Enter a Goth]
Third Goth My lord, there is a messenger from Rome
Desires to be admitted to your presence.
LUCIUS Let him come near.
[Enter AEMILIUS]
Welcome, AEmilius what's the news from Rome?
AEMILIUS Lord Lucius, and you princes of the Goths,
The Roman emperor greets you all by me;
And, for he understands you are in arms,
He craves a parley at your father's house,
Willing you to demand your hostages,
And they shall be immediately deliver'd.
First Goth What says our general?
LUCIUS AEmilius, let the emperor give his pledges
Unto my father and my uncle Marcus,
And we will come. March away.
[Exeunt]
TITUS ANDRONICUS
ACT V
SCENE II Rome. Before TITUS's house.
[Enter TAMORA, DEMETRIUS, and CHIRON, disguised]
TAMORA Thus, in this strange and sad habiliment,
I will encounter with Andronicus,
And say I am Revenge, sent from below
To join with him and right his heinous wrongs.
Knock at his study, where, they say, he keeps,
To ruminate strange plots of dire revenge;
Tell him Revenge is come to join with him,
And work confusion on his enemies.
[They knock]
[Enter TITUS, above]
TITUS ANDRONICUS Who doth molest my contemplation?
Is it your trick to make me ope the door,
That so my sad decrees may fly away,
And all my study be to no effect?
You are deceived: for what I mean to do
See here in bloody lines I have set down;
And what is written shall be executed.
