begged. I have your alms: adieu.
Third Citizen:
But this is something odd.
Second Citizen:
An 'twere to give again,--but 'tis no matter.
CORIOLANUS:
Pray you now, if it may stand with the tune of your
voices that I may be consul, I have here the
customary gown.
Fourth Citizen:
You have deserved nobly of your country, and you
have not deserved nobly.
CORIOLANUS:
Your enigma?
Fourth Citizen:
You have been a scourge to her enemies, you have
been a rod to her friends; you have not indeed loved
the common people.
CORIOLANUS:
You should account me the more virtuous that I have
not been common in my love. I will, sir, flatter my
sworn brother, the people, to earn a dearer
estimation of them; 'tis a condition they account
gentle: and since the wisdom of their choice is
rather to have my hat than my heart, I will practise
the insinuating nod and be off to them most
counterfeitly; that is, sir, I will counterfeit the
bewitchment of some popular man and give it
bountiful to the desirers. Therefore, beseech you,
I may be consul.
Fifth Citizen:
We hope to find you our friend; and therefore give
you our voices heartily.
Fourth Citizen:
You have received many wounds for your country.
CORIOLANUS:
I will not seal your knowledge with showing them. I
will make much of your voices, and so trouble you no further.
Both Citizens:
The gods give you joy, sir, heartily!
CORIOLANUS:
Most sweet voices!
Better it is to die, better to starve,
Than crave the hire which first we do deserve.
Why in this woolvish toge should I stand here,
To beg of Hob and Dick, that do appear,
Their needless vouches? Custom calls me to't:
What custom wills, in all things should we do't,
The dust on antique time would lie unswept,
And mountainous error be too highly heapt
For truth to o'er-peer. Rather than fool it so,
Let the high office and the honour go
To one that would do thus. I am half through;
The one part suffer'd, the other will I do.
Here come more voices.
Your voices: for your voices I have fought;
Watch'd for your voices; for Your voices bear
Of wounds two dozen odd; battles thrice six
I have seen and heard of; for your voices have
Done many things, some less, some more your voices:
Indeed I would be consul.
Sixth Citizen:
He has done nobly, and cannot go without any honest
man's voice.
Seventh Citizen:
Therefore let him be consul: the gods give him joy,
and make him good friend to the people!
All Citizens:
Amen, amen. God save thee, noble consul!
CORIOLANUS:
Worthy voices!
MENENIUS:
You have stood your limitation; and the tribunes
Endue you with the people's voice: remains
That, in the official marks invested, you
Anon do meet the senate.
CORIOLANUS:
Is this done?
SICINIUS:
The custom of request you have discharged:
The people do admit you, and are summon'd
