Aron. O why should wrath be mute, & Fury dumbe?

I am no Baby I, that with base Prayers

I should repent the Evils I have done.
Ten thousand worse, then ever yet I did,
Would I performe if I might have my will:
If one good Deed in all my life I did,

I do repent it from my very Soule.

Lucius. Some loving Friends convey the Emp. hence,
And give him buriall in his Fathers grave.
My Father, and Lavinia, shall forthwith

Be closed in our Housholds Monument:
As for that heynous Tyger Tamora,

No Funerall Rite, nor man in mournfull Weeds:
No mournfull Bell shall ring her Buriall :

But throw her foorth to Beasts and Birds of prey:
Her life was Beast-like, and devoid of pitty,
And being so, shall have like want of pitty.
See Justice done on Aaron that damn'd Moore,

From whom, our heavy happes had their beginning:
Then afterwards, to Order well the State,
That like Events, may ne're it Ruinate.

Exeunt omnes.

FINIS.

Samp. I strike quickly, being mov'd.

Greg. But thou art not quickly mov'd to strike.

Samp. A dog of the house of Mountague, moves me.

Greg. To move, is to stir and to be valiant, is to stand: Therefore, if thou art mov'd, thou runst away.

Samp. A dogge of that house shall move me to stand. I will take the wall of any Man or Maid of Mountagues.

Greg. That shewes thee a weake slave, for the weakest goes to the wall.

Samp. True, and therefore women being the weaker Vessels, are ever thrust to the wall: therefore I will push Mountagues men from the wall, and thrust his Maides to the wall.

Greg. The Quarrell is betweene our Masters, and us their

men.

Samp. "Tis all one, I will shew my selfe a tyrant: when I
