TITUS.
How, sir? Are you in earnest then, my lord?
BASSIANUS.
Ay, noble Titus; and resolved withal
To do myself this reason and this right.
MARCUS.
Suum cuique is our Roman justice.
This prince in justice seizeth but his own.
LUCIUS.
And that he will and shall, if Lucius live.
TITUS.
Traitors, avaunt! Where is the emperor’s guard?
Enter Saturninus and his Guards.
Treason, my lord, Lavinia is surprised.
SATURNINUS.
Surprised? By whom?
BASSIANUS.
By him that justly may
Bear his betrothed from all the world away.
[Exeunt Bassianus and Marcus with Lavinia.]
