Call our cares fears; which will in time
|
Break ope the locks o' the senate and bring in
|
The crows to peck the eagles.
|
MENENIUS:
|
Come, enough.
|
BRUTUS:
|
Enough, with over-measure.
|
CORIOLANUS:
|
No, take more:
|
What may be sworn by, both divine and human,
|
Seal what I end withal! This double worship,
|
Where one part does disdain with cause, the other
|
Insult without all reason, where gentry, title, wisdom,
|
Cannot conclude but by the yea and no
|
Of general ignorance,--it must omit
|
Real necessities, and give way the while
|
To unstable slightness: purpose so barr'd,
|
it follows,
|
Nothing is done to purpose. Therefore, beseech you,--
|
You that will be less fearful than discreet,
|
That love the fundamental part of state
|
More than you doubt the change on't, that prefer
|
A noble life before a long, and wish
|
To jump a body with a dangerous physic
|
That's sure of death without it, at once pluck out
|
The multitudinous tongue; let them not lick
|
The sweet which is their poison: your dishonour
|
Mangles true judgment and bereaves the state
|
Of that integrity which should become't,
|
Not having the power to do the good it would,
|
For the in which doth control't.
|
BRUTUS:
|
Has said enough.
|
SICINIUS:
|
Has spoken like a traitor, and shall answer
|
As traitors do.
|
CORIOLANUS:
|
Thou wretch, despite o'erwhelm thee!
|
What should the people do with these bald tribunes?
|
On whom depending, their obedience fails
|
To the greater bench: in a rebellion,
|
When what's not meet, but what must be, was law,
|
Then were they chosen: in a better hour,
|
Let what is meet be said it must be meet,
|
And throw their power i' the dust.
|
BRUTUS:
|
Manifest treason!
|
SICINIUS:
|
This a consul? no.
|
BRUTUS:
|
The aediles, ho!
|
Let him be apprehended.
|
SICINIUS:
|
Go, call the people:
|
in whose name myself
|
Attach thee as a traitorous innovator,
|
A foe to the public weal: obey, I charge thee,
|
And follow to thine answer.
|
CORIOLANUS:
|
Hence, old goat!
|
Senators, &C:
|
We'll surety him.
|
COMINIUS:
|
Aged sir, hands off.
|
CORIOLANUS:
|
Hence, rotten thing! or I shall shake thy bones
|
Out of thy garments.
|
SICINIUS:
|
Help, ye citizens!
|
MENENIUS:
|
On both sides more respect.
|
SICINIUS:
|
Here's he that would take from you all your power.
|
BRUTUS:
|
Seize him, AEdiles!
|
Citizens:
|
Down with him! down with him!
|
Senators, &C:
|
Weapons, weapons, weapons!
|
'Tribunes!' 'Patricians!' 'Citizens!' 'What, ho!'
