| ACT II SCENE II | A forest near Rome. Horns and cry of hounds heard. | |
| | Enter TITUS ANDRONICUS, with Hunters, &c., MARCUS,LUCIUS, QUINTUS, and MARTIUS | |
| TITUS ANDRONICUS | The hunt is up, the morn is bright and grey, | |
| | 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. | |
| | A cry of hounds and horns, winded in a peal. EnterSATURNINUS, TAMORA, BASSIANUS, LAVINIA, DEMETRIUS,CHIRON, and Attendants | |
| | Many good morrows to your majesty; | |
| | Madam, to you as many and as good: | |
| | I promised your grace a hunter's peal. | |
| SATURNINUS | And you have rung it lustily, my lord; | 15 |
| | Somewhat too early for new-married ladies. | |
| BASSIANUS | Lavinia, how say you? | |
| LAVINIA | I say, no; | |
| | I have been broad awake two hours and more. | |
| SATURNINUS | Come on, then; horse and chariots let us have, | 20 |
| | And to our sport. | |
| | To TAMORA | |
| | Madam, now shall ye see | |
| | Our Roman hunting. | |
| MARCUS ANDRONICUS | I have dogs, my lord, | |
| | Will rouse the proudest panther in the chase, | 25 |
| | And climb the highest promontory top. | |
| TITUS ANDRONICUS | And I have horse will follow where the game | |
| | Makes way, and run like swallows o'er the plain. | |
| DEMETRIUS | Chiron, we hunt not, we, with horse nor hound, | |
| | But hope to pluck a dainty doe to ground. | 30 |
| | Exeunt | |
