brave Titus:
|
They do disdain us much beyond our thoughts,
|
Which makes me sweat with wrath. Come on, my fellows:
|
He that retires I'll take him for a Volsce,
|
And he shall feel mine edge.
|
MARCIUS:
|
All the contagion of the south light on you,
|
You shames of Rome! you herd of--Boils and plagues
|
Plaster you o'er, that you may be abhorr'd
|
Further than seen and one infect another
|
Against the wind a mile! You souls of geese,
|
That bear the shapes of men, how have you run
|
From slaves that apes would beat! Pluto and hell!
|
All hurt behind; backs red, and faces pale
|
With flight and agued fear! Mend and charge home,
|
Or, by the fires of heaven, I'll leave the foe
|
And make my wars on you: look to't: come on;
|
If you'll stand fast, we'll beat them to their wives,
|
As they us to our trenches followed.
|
So, now the gates are ope: now prove good seconds:
|
'Tis for the followers fortune widens them,
|
Not for the fliers: mark me, and do the like.
|
First Soldier:
|
Fool-hardiness; not I.
|
Second Soldier:
|
Nor I.
|
First Soldier:
|
See, they have shut him in.
|
All:
|
To the pot, I warrant him.
|
LARTIUS:
|
What is become of Marcius?
|
All:
|
Slain, sir, doubtless.
|
First Soldier:
|
Following the fliers at the very heels,
|
With them he enters; who, upon the sudden,
|
Clapp'd to their gates: he is himself alone,
|
To answer all the city.
|
LARTIUS:
|
O noble fellow!
|
Who sensibly outdares his senseless sword,
|
And, when it bows, stands up. Thou art left, Marcius:
|
A carbuncle entire, as big as thou art,
|
Were not so rich a jewel. Thou wast a soldier
|
Even to Cato's wish, not fierce and terrible
|
Only in strokes; but, with thy grim looks and
|
The thunder-like percussion of thy sounds,
|
Thou madst thine enemies shake, as if the world
|
Were feverous and did tremble.
|
First Soldier:
|
Look, sir.
|
LARTIUS:
|
O,'tis Marcius!
|
Let's fetch him off, or make remain alike.
|
First Roman:
|
This will I carry to Rome.
|
Second Roman:
|
And I this.
|
Third Roman:
|
A murrain on't! I took this for silver.
|
MARCIUS:
|
See here these movers that do prize their hours
|
At a crack'd drachm! Cushions, leaden spoons,
|
Irons of a doit, doublets that hangmen would
|
Bury with those that wore them, these base slaves,
|
Ere yet the fight be done, pack up: down with them!
|
And hark, what noise the general makes! To him!
|
There is the man of my soul's hate, Aufidius,
|
Piercing our Romans: then, valiant Titus, take
|
Convenient numbers to make good the city;
|
Whilst I, with those that have the spirit, will haste
|
To help Cominius.
|
LARTIUS:
|
Worthy sir, thou bleed'st;
|
Thy exercise hath been too violent for
|
A second course of fight.
|
MARCIUS:
|
Sir, praise me not;
|
My work hath yet not warm'd me: fare you well:
|
The blood I drop is rather physical
|
Than dangerous to me: to Aufidius thus
|
I will appear, and fight.
