Second Citizen: |
Why that way? |
Third Citizen: |
To lose itself in a fog, where being three parts |
melted away with rotten dews, the fourth would return |
for conscience sake, to help to get thee a wife. |
Second Citizen: |
You are never without your tricks: you may, you may. |
Third Citizen: |
Are you all resolved to give your voices? But |
that's no matter, the greater part carries it. I |
say, if he would incline to the people, there was |
never a worthier man. |
Here he comes, and in the gown of humility: mark his |
behavior. We are not to stay all together, but to |
come by him where he stands, by ones, by twos, and |
by threes. He's to make his requests by |
particulars; wherein every one of us has a single |
honour, in giving him our own voices with our own |
tongues: therefore follow me, and I direct you how |
you shall go by him. |
All: |
Content, content. |
MENENIUS: |
O sir, you are not right: have you not known |
The worthiest men have done't? |
CORIOLANUS: |
What must I say? |
'I Pray, sir'--Plague upon't! I cannot bring |
My tongue to such a pace:--'Look, sir, my wounds! |
I got them in my country's service, when |
Some certain of your brethren roar'd and ran |
From the noise of our own drums.' |
MENENIUS: |
O me, the gods! |
You must not speak of that: you must desire them |
To think upon you. |
CORIOLANUS: |
Think upon me! hang 'em! |
I would they would forget me, like the virtues |
Which our divines lose by 'em. |
MENENIUS: |
You'll mar all: |
I'll leave you: pray you, speak to 'em, I pray you, |
In wholesome manner. |
CORIOLANUS: |
Bid them wash their faces |
And keep their teeth clean. |
So, here comes a brace. |
You know the cause, air, of my standing here. |
Third Citizen: |
We do, sir; tell us what hath brought you to't. |
CORIOLANUS: |
Mine own desert. |
Second Citizen: |
Your own desert! |
CORIOLANUS: |
Ay, but not mine own desire. |
Third Citizen: |
How not your own desire? |
CORIOLANUS: |
No, sir,'twas never my desire yet to trouble the |
poor with begging. |
Third Citizen: |
You must think, if we give you any thing, we hope to |
gain by you. |
CORIOLANUS: |
Well then, I pray, your price o' the consulship? |
First Citizen: |
The price is to ask it kindly. |
CORIOLANUS: |
Kindly! Sir, I pray, let me ha't: I have wounds to |
show you, which shall be yours in private. Your |
good voice, sir; what say you? |
Second Citizen: |
You shall ha' it, worthy sir. |
CORIOLANUS: |
A match, sir. There's in all two worthy voices |
