Tyrannical power: if he evade us there, |
Enforce him with his envy to the people, |
And that the spoil got on the Antiates |
Was ne'er distributed. |
What, will he come? |
AEdile: |
He's coming. |
BRUTUS: |
How accompanied? |
AEdile: |
With old Menenius, and those senators |
That always favour'd him. |
SICINIUS: |
Have you a catalogue |
Of all the voices that we have procured |
Set down by the poll? |
AEdile: |
I have; 'tis ready. |
SICINIUS: |
Have you collected them by tribes? |
AEdile: |
I have. |
SICINIUS: |
Assemble presently the people hither; |
And when they bear me say 'It shall be so |
I' the right and strength o' the commons,' be it either |
For death, for fine, or banishment, then let them |
If I say fine, cry 'Fine;' if death, cry 'Death.' |
Insisting on the old prerogative |
And power i' the truth o' the cause. |
AEdile: |
I shall inform them. |
BRUTUS: |
And when such time they have begun to cry, |
Let them not cease, but with a din confused |
Enforce the present execution |
Of what we chance to sentence. |
AEdile: |
Very well. |
SICINIUS: |
Make them be strong and ready for this hint, |
When we shall hap to give 't them. |
BRUTUS: |
Go about it. |
Put him to choler straight: he hath been used |
Ever to conquer, and to have his worth |
Of contradiction: being once chafed, he cannot |
Be rein'd again to temperance; then he speaks |
What's in his heart; and that is there which looks |
With us to break his neck. |
SICINIUS: |
Well, here he comes. |
MENENIUS: |
Calmly, I do beseech you. |
CORIOLANUS: |
Ay, as an ostler, that for the poorest piece |
Will bear the knave by the volume. The honour'd gods |
Keep Rome in safety, and the chairs of justice |
Supplied with worthy men! plant love among 's! |
Throng our large temples with the shows of peace, |
And not our streets with war! |
First Senator: |
Amen, amen. |
MENENIUS: |
A noble wish. |
SICINIUS: |
Draw near, ye people. |
AEdile: |
List to your tribunes. Audience: peace, I say! |
CORIOLANUS: |
First, hear me speak. |
Both Tribunes: |
Well, say. Peace, ho! |
CORIOLANUS: |
Shall I be charged no further than this present? |
Must all determine here? |
