Is not bespoke already and by now
Awaits me with his axe, then I would crave
A final word with Titus ere my death.
(To Herod.) It is not wont to give the last request
Of dying men refusal. Can you grant it,
Then let my life be added unto yours.
Herod.
The Headsman is not yet bespoke. I can.
And since you promise me eternity
As my reward, I must, and more, I will.
