Bassianus Monologue from Titus Andronicus

From Titus Andronicus by William Shakespeare

male · defiant · 35 sec

Romans, friends, followers, favourers of my right, If ever Bassianus, Caesar’s son, Were gracious in the eyes of royal Rome, Keep then this passage to the Capitol, And suffer not dishonour to approach The imperial seat, to virtue consecrate, To justice, continence, and nobility; But let desert in pure election shine, And, Romans, fight for freedom in your choice. Enter Marcus Andronicus aloft, holding the crown.
