TITUS
The hunt is up, the moon is bright and gray,
The fields are fragrant, and the woods are green.
Uncouple here, and let us make a bay
And wake the Emperor and his lovely bride,
5
And rouse the Prince, and ring a hunter’s peal,
That all the court may echo with the noise.
Sons, let it be your charge, as it is ours,
To attend the Emperor’s person carefully.
I have been troubled in my sleep this night,
10
But dawning day new comfort hath inspired.

Here a cry of hounds, and wind horns in a peal. Then
enter SATURNINUS, TAMORA, BASSIANUS, LAVINIA, CHIRON,
DEMETRIUS, and their ATTENDANTS.

I promisèd your Grace a hunter’s peal.

Somewhat too early for new-married ladies.

25
And climb the highest promontory top.

Makes way and runs like swallows o’er the plain.

Chiron, we hunt not, we, with horse nor hound,
But hope to pluck a dainty doe to ground.
