TITUS ANDRONICUS
[Aside] I know them all, though they suppose me mad,
And will o'erreach them in their own devices:
A pair of cursed hell-hounds and their dam!
DEMETRIUS
Madam, depart at pleasure; leave us here.
TAMORA
Farewell, Andronicus: Revenge now goes
To lay a complot to betray thy foes.
TITUS ANDRONICUS
I know thou dost; and, sweet Revenge, farewell.
Exit TAMORA
CHIRON
Tell us, old man, how shall we be employ'd?
TITUS ANDRONICUS
Tut, I have work enough for you to do.
Publius, come hither, Caius, and Valentine!
Enter PUBLIUS and others
PUBLIUS
What is your will?
TITUS ANDRONICUS
Know you these two?
PUBLIUS
The empress' sons, I take them, Chiron and Demetrius.
TITUS ANDRONICUS
Fie, Publius, fie! thou art too much deceived;
The one is Murder, Rape is the other's name;
And therefore bind them, gentle Publius.
Caius and Valentine, lay hands on them.
Oft have you heard me wish for such an hour,
And now I find it; therefore bind them sure,
And stop their mouths, if they begin to cry.
Exit
PUBLIUS, &c. lay hold on CHIRON and DEMETRIUS
CHIRON
Villains, forbear! we are the empress' sons.
