Saturninus, the older son of the prior emperor, vies with his brother Bassianus who supports an election process. [Simier used the name Saturn in reference to Philip of Spain in letters to Queen Elizabeth (Ogburn and Ogburn 348).] From even the second line, we start encountering words such as arms" (I.i.2), hand (I.i.163), and head (I.i.186) -- all terms used metaphorically for now.
