VIRGILIA.
His bloody brow! O Jupiter, no blood! VOLUMNIA. Away, you fool! It more becomes a man Than gilt his trophy: the breasts of Hecuba, When she did suckle Hector, looked not lovelier Than Hector's forehead when it spit forth blood At Grecian swords contending.--Tell Valeria We are fit to bid her welcome. [Exit GENTLEWOMAN.] VIRGILIA. Heavens bless my lord from fell Aufidius! VOLUMNIA. He'll beat Aufidius' head below his knee, And tread upon his neck. [Re-enter GENTLEWOMAN, with VALERIA and her Usher.] VALERIA. My ladies both, good-day to you. VOLUMNIA. Sweet madam. VIRGILIA. I am glad to see your ladyship. |
