Ti.

If they did kill thy husband then be ioyfull,

Because the law hath tane reuenge on them.

No, no, they would not doe so foule a deede,

Witnes the sorrow that their sister makes.

Gentle Lauinia let me kisse thy lips,

Or make some signes how I may do thee ease:

Shall thy good Vncle, and thy brother Lucius,

And thou and I sit round about some Fountaine,

Looking all downewards to behold our cheekes

How they are stain'd in meadowes, yet not dry

With miery slime left on them by a flood:

And in the Fountaine shall we gaze so long,

Till the fresh taste be taken from that cleerenes,

And made a brine pit with our bitter teares?

Or shall we cut away our hands like thine?
