Citizens: |
Down with him, down with him! |
MENENIUS: |
Go, get you to your house; be gone, away! |
All will be naught else. |
Second Senator: |
Get you gone. |
COMINIUS: |
Stand fast; |
We have as many friends as enemies. |
MENENIUS: |
Sham it be put to that? |
First Senator: |
The gods forbid! |
I prithee, noble friend, home to thy house; |
Leave us to cure this cause. |
MENENIUS: |
For 'tis a sore upon us, |
You cannot tent yourself: be gone, beseech you. |
COMINIUS: |
Come, sir, along with us. |
CORIOLANUS: |
I would they were barbarians--as they are, |
Though in Rome litter'd--not Romans--as they are not, |
Though calved i' the porch o' the Capitol-- |
MENENIUS: |
Be gone; |
Put not your worthy rage into your tongue; |
One time will owe another. |
CORIOLANUS: |
On fair ground |
I could beat forty of them. |
COMINIUS: |
I could myself |
Take up a brace o' the best of them; yea, the |
two tribunes: |
But now 'tis odds beyond arithmetic; |
And manhood is call'd foolery, when it stands |
Against a falling fabric. Will you hence, |
Before the tag return? whose rage doth rend |
Like interrupted waters and o'erbear |
What they are used to bear. |
MENENIUS: |
Pray you, be gone: |
I'll try whether my old wit be in request |
With those that have but little: this must be patch'd |
With cloth of any colour. |
COMINIUS: |
Nay, come away. |
A Patrician: |
This man has marr'd his fortune. |
MENENIUS: |
His nature is too noble for the world: |
He would not flatter Neptune for his trident, |
Or Jove for's power to thunder. His heart's his mouth: |
What his breast forges, that his tongue must vent; |
And, being angry, does forget that ever |
He heard the name of death. |
Here's goodly work! |
Second Patrician: |
I would they were abed! |
MENENIUS: |
I would they were in Tiber! What the vengeance! |
Could he not speak 'em fair? |
SICINIUS: |
Where is this viper |
That would depopulate the city and |
Be every man himself? |
MENENIUS: |
You worthy tribunes,-- |
SICINIUS: |
He shall be thrown down the Tarpeian rock |
With rigorous hands: he hath resisted law, |
And therefore law shall scorn him further trial |
Than the severity of the public power |
Which he so sets at nought. |
First Citizen: |
He shall well know |
