To save your brother from the sacrifice,

That I may slumber an eternal sleep."

Here stands my other son, a banished man,
And here my brother, weeping at my woes.
But that which gives my soul the greatest spurn
Is dear Lavinia, dearer than my soul."

The rider on men's wives, the great imposter,
The grand voluptary!"

Discover to your strangely abused ears
The most prodigious and most frontless piece
Of solid impudence and treachery
That ever vicious nature yet brought forth
To shame the state of Venice!"
