![Enter a MESSENGER, with two heads and a hand.Mess. Worthy Andronicus, ill art thou repaidFor that good hand thou sent’st the Emperor.Here are the heads of thy two noble sons,And here’s thy hand in scorn to thee sent back.Thy grief their sports! thy resolution mock'd,That woe is me to think upon thy woesMore than remembrance of my father’s death. [Exit.]Marc. Now let hot Aetna cool in Sicily,And be my heart an ever-burning hell!These miseries are more than may be borne.To weep with them that weep doth ease some deal,But sorrow flouted at is double death.Luc. Ah, that this sight should make so deep a woundAnd yet detested life not shrink thereat!That ever death should let life bear his name,Where life hath no more interest but to breathe.[Lavinia kisses Titus.]Marc. Alas, poor heart, that kiss is comfortlessAs frozen water to a starvèd snake.Tit. When will this fearful slumber have an end?Marc. Now farewell, flatt’ry; die, Andronicus.Thou dost not slumber. See thy two sons’ heads,Thy warlike hand, thy mangled daughter here,Thy other banished son with this dear sightStruck pale and bloodless; and thy brother, I,Even like a stony image cold and numb.Ah, now no more will I control thy griefs.Rent off thy silver hair, thy other hand,Gnawing with thy teeth, and be this dismal sightThe closing up of our most wretched eyes.Now is a time to storm. Why art thou still?Tit. Ha, ha, ha!Marc. Why dost thou laugh? It fits not with this hour.Tit. Why, I have not another tear to shed.Besides, this sorrow is an enemyAnd would usurp upon my wat’ry eyesAnd make them blind with tributary tears.Then which way shall I find Revenge’s cave?For these two heads do seem to speak to meAnd threat me I shall never come to blissTill all these mischiefs be returned againEven in their throats that hath committed them.Come, let me see what task I have to do.You heavy people, circle me aboutThat I may turn me to each one of youAnd swear unto my soul to right your wrongs.The vow is made. Come, brother, take a head,And in this hand the other will I bear.And, Lavinia, thou shalt be employed in these arms.Bear thou my hand, sweet wench, between thy teeth.As for thee, boy, go get thee from my sight.Thou art an exile, and thou must not stay.Hie to the Goths and raise an army there.And if you love me, as I think you do,Let’s kiss and part, for we have much to do.Exeunt.
