...panther fast asleep.
My sight is very dull, whate’er it bodes.
...into the pit.
What, art thou fallen? What subtle hole is this,
Whose mouth is covered with rude-growing briers
Upon whose leaves are drops of new-shed blood
As fresh as morning dew distilled on flowers?
A very fatal place it seems to me.
Speak, brother! Hast thou hurt thee with the fall?
...and bloodstainèd hole?
I am surprisèd with an uncouth fear.
A chilling sweat o’erruns my trembling joints.
My heart suspects more than mine eye can see.
...blood and death.
Aaron is gone, and my compassionate heart
Will not permit mine eyes once to behold
The thing whereat it trembles by surmise.
O, tell me who it is, for ne’er till now
Was I a child to fear I know not what.
...dark, blood-drinking pit.
If it be dark, how dost thou know ’tis he?
...Cocytus’ misty mouth.
reaching into the pit
Reach me thy hand, that I may help thee out,
Or, wanting strength to do thee so much good,
I may be plucked into the swallowing womb
Of this deep pit, poor Bassianus’ grave. He pulls Martius’ hand.
I have no strength to pluck thee to the brink.
...without thy help.
Thy hand once more. I will not loose again
Till thou art here aloft or I below.
Thou canst not come to me. I come to thee.
He falls in.
...murder is discoverèd.
