Chi. Thy counsel, lad, smells of no cowardice.
Dem. Sit fas aut nefas, till I find the stream[4146]
To cool this heat, a charm to calm these fits,[4147]
Per Styga, per manes vehor. [Exeunt.[4148] 135
Scene II. A forest near Rome. Horns and cry of hounds heard.
Enter Titus Andronicus, with Hunters, &c., Marcus, Lucius, Quintus, and Martius.[4149]
Tit. The hunt is up, the morn is bright and grey,[4150]
The fields are fragrant, and the woods are green:[4151]
Uncouple here, and let us make a bay,
And wake the emperor and his lovely bride,
And rouse the prince, and ring a hunter's peal,[4152] 5
That all the court may echo with the noise.[4153]
Sons, let it be your charge, as it is ours,[4154]
To attend the emperor's person carefully.[4155]
I have been troubled in my sleep this night,
But dawning day new comfort hath inspired. 10
A cry of hounds, and horns winded in a peal. Enter Saturninus, Tamora, Bassianus, Lavinia, Demetrius, Chiron, and their Attendants.[4156]
Many good morrows to your majesty;
Madam, to you as many and as good:
I promised your grace a hunter's peal.
Sat. And you have rung it lustily, my lords;[4157]
Somewhat too early for new-married ladies. 15
Bas. Lavinia, how say you?
