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?
