Titus Andronicus - a play by Shakespeare in which Lavinia is raped by Demetrius and Chiron, who then cut her hands off and her tongue out so that she cannot tell others who ravished her.
CHIRON
Go home, call for sweet water, wash thy hands.
DEMETRIUS
She hath no tongue to call, nor hands to wash; And so let's leave her to her silent walks.
CHIRON
An 'twere my case, I should go hang myself.
DEMETRIUS
If thou hadst hands to help thee knit the cord.
