  O;    take   this  warm    kiss   on   thy   pale  cold   lips。  'Kisses    TITUS'     These
  sorrowful   drops   upon   thy   blood…stain'd   face;   The   last   true   duties   of   thy
  noble son! MARCUS。 Tear for tear and loving kiss for kiss Thy brother
  Marcus   tenders   on   thy  lips。   O;   were   the   sum   of   these   that   I   should   pay
  Countless and infinite; yet would I pay them! LUCIUS。 Come hither; boy;
  come;   come;   come;   and   learn   of   us   To   melt   in   showers。   Thy   grandsire
  lov'd thee well; Many a time he danc'd thee on his knee; Sung thee asleep;
  his loving breast thy pillow; Many a story hath he told to thee; And bid
  thee bear his pretty tales in mind And talk of them when he was dead and
  gone。 MARCUS。 How many thousand times hath these poor lips; When
  they   were   living;   warm'd   themselves   on   thine!   O;   now;   sweet   boy;   give
  them their latest kiss! Bid him farewell; commit him to the grave; Do them
  that kindness; and take leave of them。 BOY。 O grandsire; grandsire! ev'n
  with   all   my   heart   Would   I   were   dead;   so   you   did   live   again!   O   Lord;   I
  cannot   speak   to   him   for   weeping;   My   tears   will   choke   me;   if   I   ope   my
  mouth。
  Re…enter   attendants   with   AARON  A  ROMAN。   You   sad   Andronici;
  have   done   with   woes;   Give   sentence   on   the   execrable   wretch   That   hath
  been breeder of these dire events。 LUCIUS。 Set him breast…deep in earth;
  and famish him; There let him stand and rave and cry for food。 If any one
  relieves or pities him; For the offence he dies。 This is our doom。 Some stay
  to see him fast'ned in the earth。 AARON。 Ah; why should wrath be mute
  and fury dumb? I am no baby; I; that with base prayers I should repent the
  evils I have done; Ten thousand worse than ever yet I did Would I perform;
  if I might have my will。 If one good deed in all my life I did; I do repent it
  from   my   very   soul。   LUCIUS。   Some   loving   friends   convey   the   Emperor
  hence; And   give   him  burial   in   his   father's   grave。  My  father   and   Lavinia

  TITUS ANDRONICUS
  shall   forthwith  Be   closed  in  our  household's   monument。     As  for  that
  ravenous tiger; Tamora; No   funeral rite; nor man   in mourning   weed;  No
  mournful bell shall ring her burial; But throw her forth to beasts and birds
  to prey。 Her life was beastly and devoid of pity; And being dead; let birds
  on her take pity。 Exeunt
  THE END
