Titus Andronicus, II. ii 

Tit. 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,

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 right,

But dawning day new comfort hath inspir'd.

Wind horns.

Many good morrows to your majesty;

Madam, to you as many and as good;

I promised your Grace a hunter's peal.

Sat. And you have rung it lustily, my lord;

Somewhat too early for new-married ladies.

Bas. Lavinia, how say you?

Lav. I say, no;

I have been broad awake two hours and more.

Sat. Come on, then; horse and chariots let us have,

And to our sport.—[To Tamora.] Madam, now shall ye see

Our Roman hunting.
