Only the news at home, and I have done. My lady must needs speak with you about earnest business, that concerns her nearly, and I was sent in all haste to entreat your Lordship to come away, And couldst thou not have told me Lucrece stay, And I stand trifling here fellow away. I Mary sir, the way into her were a way worth following, and that's the reason that so many serving-men that are familiar with their mistresses, have lost the name of Servitors, and are now called their masters followers. Rest you merry. O thou sacred God inspire The Priests, and with celestial fire Shot from thy beams, crown our desire, That we may follow. In these thy true and hallowed measures, The utmost of thy heavenly treasures According to the thoughts and pleasures Of great Apollo. Our hearts with inflammations burn Great Tarquin and his people mourn Till from thy Temple we return With some glad tidings. Then tell us, shall great Rome be blessed And royal Tarquin live in rest, That gives his high Ennobled breast To thy safe guiding? Then Rome her ancient honours wins When she is purged from Tullius sins. Gramercies Phoebus for these spells, Phoebus alone alone excels. Tullia perhaps sinned in our grandsire's death And hath not yet by reconcilement made Atone with Phoebus, at whose shrine we kneel. Yet gentle Priest let us thus far prevail, To know if Tarquin's seed shall govern Rome And by succession claim the Royal wrath. Behold me younger of the Tarquins Race This elder Aruns both the sons of Tullia. This Iunius Brutus though a madman yet, Of the high blood of Tarquins. Sextus peace. Tell us O thou that shinest so bright From whom the world receives his light, Whose absence is perpetual night, whose praises ring. Is it with heavens applause decreed, When Tarquin's soul from earth is freed That noble Sextus shall succeed In Rome as king. I Oracle hast thou lost thy tongue? Tempt him again fair Priest, If not as king, let Delphian Phoebus yet Thus much resolve me who shall govern Rome, Or of us three, bear greatest pre-eminence. Sextus I will, yet sacred Phoebus we entreat, Which of these three shall be great Which largest power and state replete by the heavens doom. Phoebus thy thoughts no longer smother. He that first shall kiss his mother Shall be powerful and no other Of you three in Rome. Shall kiss his mother. Mother earth to thee an humble kiss I tender. What means Brutus? The blood of the slaughtered sacrifice made this flore as slippery as the place where Tarquin treads, 'tis glassy and as smooth as ice: I was proud to hear the Oracle so gracious to the blood of the Tarquins and so I fell.
