To meet anon, upon your approbation. |
CORIOLANUS: |
Where? at the senate-house? |
SICINIUS: |
There, Coriolanus. |
CORIOLANUS: |
May I change these garments? |
SICINIUS: |
You may, sir. |
CORIOLANUS: |
That I'll straight do; and, knowing myself again, |
Repair to the senate-house. |
MENENIUS: |
I'll keep you company. Will you along? |
BRUTUS: |
We stay here for the people. |
SICINIUS: |
Fare you well. |
He has it now, and by his looks methink |
'Tis warm at 's heart. |
BRUTUS: |
With a proud heart he wore his humble weeds. |
will you dismiss the people? |
SICINIUS: |
How now, my masters! have you chose this man? |
First Citizen: |
He has our voices, sir. |
BRUTUS: |
We pray the gods he may deserve your loves. |
Second Citizen: |
Amen, sir: to my poor unworthy notice, |
He mock'd us when he begg'd our voices. |
Third Citizen: |
Certainly |
He flouted us downright. |
First Citizen: |
No,'tis his kind of speech: he did not mock us. |
Second Citizen: |
Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says |
He used us scornfully: he should have show'd us |
His marks of merit, wounds received for's country. |
SICINIUS: |
Why, so he did, I am sure. |
Citizens: |
No, no; no man saw 'em. |
Third Citizen: |
He said he had wounds, which he could show |
in private; |
And with his hat, thus waving it in scorn, |
'I would be consul,' says he: 'aged custom, |
But by your voices, will not so permit me; |
Your voices therefore.' When we granted that, |
Here was 'I thank you for your voices: thank you: |
Your most sweet voices: now you have left |
your voices, |
I have no further with you.' Was not this mockery? |
SICINIUS: |
Why either were you ignorant to see't, |
Or, seeing it, of such childish friendliness |
To yield your voices? |
BRUTUS: |
Could you not have told him |
As you were lesson'd, when he had no power, |
But was a petty servant to the state, |
He was your enemy, ever spake against |
Your liberties and the charters that you bear |
I' the body of the weal; and now, arriving |
A place of potency and sway o' the state, |
If he should still malignantly remain |
Fast foe to the plebeii, your voices might |
Be curses to yourselves? You should have said |
That as his worthy deeds did claim no less |
Than what he stood for, so his gracious nature |
Would think upon you for your voices and |
Translate his malice towards you into love, |
Standing your friendly lord. |
SICINIUS: |
Thus to have said, |
