(_Enter TITUS dressed like a Cook…TITUS places the dishes on the table_)

**TITUS ANDRONICUS:** …welcome, all: although the cheer be poor,  
'Twill fill your stomachs; please you eat of it.  
**SATURNINUS:** Why art thou thus attired, Andronicus?  
**TITUS ANDRONICUS:** Because I would be sure to have all well,  
To entertain your highness and your empress.  
[…]  
Will’t please you eat? will’t please your  
highness feed?  
**TAMORA:** Why hast thou slain thine only daughter thus?  
**TITUS ANDRONICUS:** Not I; 'twas Chiron and Demetrius:  
They ravish’d her, and cut away her tongue;  
And they, 'twas they, that did her all this wrong.  
**SATURNINUS:** Go fetch them hither to us presently.  
**TITUS ANDRONICUS:** Why, there they are both, baked in that pie;  
Whereof their mother daintily hath fed,  
Eating the flesh that she herself hath bred.
