TITUS ANDRONICUS A reason mighty, strong, and effectual;
A pattern, precedent, and lively warrant,
For me, most wretched, to perform the like.
Die, die, Lavinia, and thy shame with thee;
[Kills LAVINIA]
And, with thy shame, thy father's sorrow die!
SATURNINUS What hast thou done, unnatural and unkind?
TITUS ANDRONICUS Kill'd her, for whom my tears have made me blind.
I am as woful as Virginius was,
And have a thousand times more cause than he
To do this outrage: and it now is done.
SATURNINUS What, was she ravish'd? tell who did the deed.
TITUS ANDRONICUS Will't please you eat? will't please your
highness feed?
TAMORA Why hast thou slain thine only daughter thus?
TITUS ANDRONICUS Not I; 'twas Chiron and Demetrius:
They ravish'd her, and cut away her tongue;
And they, 'twas they, that did her all this wrong.
SATURNINUS Go fetch them hither to us presently.
TITUS ANDRONICUS Why, there they are both, baked in that pie;
Whereof their mother daintily hath fed,
Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred.
'Tis true, 'tis true; witness my knife's sharp point.
[Kills TAMORA]
SATURNINUS Die, frantic wretch, for this accursed deed!
[Kills TITUS]
LUCIUS Can the son's eye behold his father bleed?
There's meed for meed, death for a deadly deed!
[Kills SATURNINUS.
