They say she's mad.
|
BRUTUS:
|
They have ta'en note of us: keep on your way.
|
VOLUMNIA:
|
O, ye're well met: the hoarded plague o' the gods
|
Requite your love!
|
MENENIUS:
|
Peace, peace; be not so loud.
|
VOLUMNIA:
|
If that I could for weeping, you should hear,--
|
Nay, and you shall hear some.
|
Will you be gone?
|
VIRGILIA:
|
SICINIUS:
|
Are you mankind?
|
VOLUMNIA:
|
Ay, fool; is that a shame? Note but this fool.
|
Was not a man my father? Hadst thou foxship
|
To banish him that struck more blows for Rome
|
Than thou hast spoken words?
|
SICINIUS:
|
O blessed heavens!
|
VOLUMNIA:
|
More noble blows than ever thou wise words;
|
And for Rome's good. I'll tell thee what; yet go:
|
Nay, but thou shalt stay too: I would my son
|
Were in Arabia, and thy tribe before him,
|
His good sword in his hand.
|
SICINIUS:
|
What then?
|
VIRGILIA:
|
What then!
|
He'ld make an end of thy posterity.
|
VOLUMNIA:
|
Bastards and all.
|
Good man, the wounds that he does bear for Rome!
|
MENENIUS:
|
Come, come, peace.
|
SICINIUS:
|
I would he had continued to his country
|
As he began, and not unknit himself
|
The noble knot he made.
|
BRUTUS:
|
I would he had.
|
VOLUMNIA:
|
'I would he had'! 'Twas you incensed the rabble:
|
Cats, that can judge as fitly of his worth
|
As I can of those mysteries which heaven
|
Will not have earth to know.
|
BRUTUS:
|
Pray, let us go.
|
VOLUMNIA:
|
Now, pray, sir, get you gone:
|
You have done a brave deed. Ere you go, hear this:--
|
As far as doth the Capitol exceed
|
The meanest house in Rome, so far my son--
|
This lady's husband here, this, do you see--
|
Whom you have banish'd, does exceed you all.
|
BRUTUS:
|
Well, well, we'll leave you.
|
SICINIUS:
|
Why stay we to be baited
|
With one that wants her wits?
|
VOLUMNIA:
|
Take my prayers with you.
|
I would the gods had nothing else to do
|
But to confirm my curses! Could I meet 'em
|
But once a-day, it would unclog my heart
|
Of what lies heavy to't.
|
MENENIUS:
|
You have told them home;
|
And, by my troth, you have cause. You'll sup with me?
|
VOLUMNIA:
|
Anger's my meat; I sup upon myself,
|
And so shall starve with feeding. Come, let's go:
|
Leave this faint puling and lament as I do,
|
In anger, Juno-like. Come, come, come.
