AUFIDIUS: |
Insolent villain! |
All Conspirators: |
Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill him! |
Lords: |
Hold, hold, hold, hold! |
AUFIDIUS: |
My noble masters, hear me speak. |
First Lord: |
O Tullus,-- |
Second Lord: |
Thou hast done a deed whereat valour will weep. |
Third Lord: |
Tread not upon him. Masters all, be quiet; |
Put up your swords. |
AUFIDIUS: |
My lords, when you shall know--as in this rage, |
Provoked by him, you cannot--the great danger |
Which this man's life did owe you, you'll rejoice |
That he is thus cut off. Please it your honours |
To call me to your senate, I'll deliver |
Myself your loyal servant, or endure |
Your heaviest censure. |
First Lord: |
Bear from hence his body; |
And mourn you for him: let him be regarded |
As the most noble corse that ever herald |
Did follow to his urn. |
Second Lord: |
His own impatience |
Takes from Aufidius a great part of blame. |
Let's make the best of it. |
AUFIDIUS: |
My rage is gone; |
And I am struck with sorrow. Take him up. |
Help, three o' the chiefest soldiers; I'll be one. |
Beat thou the drum, that it speak mournfully: |
Trail your steel pikes. Though in this city he |
Hath widow'd and unchilded many a one, |
Which to this hour bewail the injury, |
Yet he shall have a noble memory. Assist. |
GLOUCESTER: |
Now is the winter of our discontent |
Made glorious summer by this sun of York; |
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house |
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. |
Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths; |
Our bruised arms hung up for monuments; |
Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings, |
Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. |
Grim-visaged war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front; |
And now, instead of mounting barded steeds |
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, |
He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber |
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. |
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, |
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass; |
I, that am rudely stamp'd, and want love's majesty |
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; |
I, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion, |
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, |
Deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my time |
Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, |
And that so lamely and unfashionable |
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them; |
Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, |
Have no delight to pass away the time, |
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun |
And descant on mine own deformity: |
And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover, |
To entertain these fair well-spoken days, |
I am determined to prove a villain |
And hate the idle pleasures of these days. |
Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous, |
By drunken prophecies, libels and dreams, |
To set my brother Clarence and the king |
In deadly hate the one against the other: |
And if King Edward be as true and just |
As I am subtle, false and treacherous, |
This day should Clarence closely be mew'd up, |
About a prophecy, which says that 'G' |
Of Edward's heirs the murderer shall be. |
Dive, thoughts, down to my soul: here |
Clarence comes. |
Brother, good day; what means this armed guard |
That waits upon your grace? |
CLARENCE: |
