First Citizen:
Before we proceed any further, hear me speak.
All:
Speak, speak.
First Citizen:
You are all resolved rather to die than to famish?
All:
Resolved. resolved.
First Citizen:
First, you know Caius Marcius is chief enemy to the people.
All:
We know't, we know't.
First Citizen:
Let us kill him, and we'll... |
Alack,
You are transported by calamity
Thither where more attends you, and you slander
The helms o' the state, who care for you like fathers,
When you curse them as enemies.
First Citizen:
Care for us! True, indeed! They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
Alack,
You are transported by ... |
With a kind of smile,
Which ne'er came from the lungs, but even thus--
For, look you, I may make the belly smile
As well as speak--it tauntingly replied
To the discontented members, the mutinous parts
That envied his receipt; even so most fitly
As you malign our senators for that
They are not such as you.

Your virtue is
To make him worthy whose offence subdues him
Your virtue is
And curse that justice did it.
Who deserves greatness
Deserves your hate; and your affections are
A sick man's appetite, who desires most that
Which would increase his evil. He that depends
Upon your favours swims with fins of lead
And hews down... |
Titus Lartius, thou
Shalt see me once more strike at Tullus' face.
Titus Lartius, thou
What, art thou stiff? stand'st out?
TITUS:
No, Caius Marcius;
I'll lean upon one crutch and fight with t'other,
Ere stay behind this business.
MENENIUS:
O, true-bred!

We shall be shorten'd in our aim, which was
To take in many towns ere almost Rome
Should know we were afoot.

Noble Aufidius,

Tell Valeria,
We are fit to bid her welcome.
VIRGILIA:
Heavens bless my lord from fell Aufidius!
VOLUMNIA:
He'll beat Aufidius 'head below his knee
And tread upon his neck.
VALERIA:
My ladies both, good day to you.
VOLUMNIA:
Sweet madam.
Tell Valeria,
We are fit to bid her welcome.
VIRGILIA:
Heavens bless my lord ... |
This is true,
on mine honour; and so, I pray, go with us.
This is true,
VIRGILIA:
Give me excuse, good madam; I will obey you in every
thing hereafter.
VOLUMNIA:
Let her alone, lady: as she is now, she will but
disease our better mirth.
VALERIA:
In troth, I think she would. Fare you well, then.
Come, good sweet lady... |
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 o... |
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 remai... |
Ye Roman gods!
Lead their successes as we wish our own,
That both our powers, with smiling
fronts encountering,
May give you thankful sacrifice.
Thy news?
Messenger:
The citizens of Corioli have issued,
And given to Lartius and to Marcius battle:
I saw our party to their trenches driven,
And then I came away.
COMINIU... |
By the blood we have shed together, by the vows
We have made to endure friends, that you directly
Set me against Aufidius and his Antiates;
And that you not delay the present, but,
Filling the air with swords advanced and darts,
We prove this very hour.
COMINIUS:
Though I could wish
You were conducted to a gentle bath... |
I have done
As you have done; that's what I can; induced
As you have been; that's for my country:
He that has but effected his good will
Hath overta'en mine act.

What is't?
CORIOLANUS:
I sometime lay here in Corioli
At a poor man's house; he used me kindly:
He cried to me; I saw him prisoner;
But then Aufidius was within my view,
What is't?
CORIOLANUS:

You two
are old men: tell me one thing that I shall ask you.
Both:
Well, sir.
MENENIUS:
In what enormity is Marcius poor in, that you two
have not in abundance?
BRUTUS:
He's poor in no one fault, but stored with all.
You two
are old men: tell me one thing that I shall ask you.

MENENIUS:

You are
a pair of strange ones.
BRUTUS:
Come, come, you are well understood to be a

a pair of strange ones.
BRUTUS:
perfecter giber for the table than a necessary
bencher in the Capitol.
MENENIUS:
Our very priests must become mockers, if they shall
encounter such ridiculous subjects as you are. When
you spea... |
Yes, yes, yes; the senate
has letters from the general, wherein he gives my
son the whole name of the war: he hath in this
action outdone his former deeds doubly
VALERIA:
In troth, there's wondrous things spoke of him.
MENENIUS:
Wondrous! ay, I warrant you, and not without his
true purchasing.
VIRGILIA:
The gods gra... |
Welcome.
A curse begin at very root on's heart,
That is not glad to see thee! You are three
That Rome should dote on: yet, by the faith of men,
We have some old crab-trees here
at home that will not
Be grafted to your relish. Yet welcome, warriors:
Welcome.

That is not glad to see... |
For an end,
We must suggest the people in what hatred
He still hath held them; that to's power he would
Have made them mules, silenced their pleaders and
Dispropertied their freedoms, holding them,
In human action and capacity,
Of no more soul nor fitness for the world
Than camels in the war, who have their provand
Onl... |
Now, to seem to affect the malice and
displeasure of the people is as bad as that which he
dislikes, to flatter them for their love.
Second Officer:
He hath deserved worthily of his country: and his
ascent is not by such easy degrees as those who,
having been supple and courteous to the people,
bonneted, without any f... |
Please you
To hear Cominius speak?
BRUTUS:
Most willingly;
But yet my caution was more pertinent
Than the rebuke you give it.
MENENIUS:
He loves your people
But tie him not to be their bedfellow.
Worthy Cominius, speak.
Nay, keep your place.
First Senator:
Sit, Coriolanus; never shame to hear
What you have nobly don... |
For this last,
Before and in Corioli, let me say,
I cannot speak him home: he stopp'd the fliers;
And by his rare example made the coward
Turn terror into sport: as weeds before
A vessel under sail, so men obey'd
And fell below his stem: his sword, death's stamp,
Where it did mark, it took; from face to foot
He was a t... |
May they perceive's intent! He will require them,
As if he did contemn what he requested
Should be in them to give.
BRUTUS:
Come, we'll inform them
Of our proceedings here: on the marketplace,
I know, they do attend us.
First Citizen:
Once, if he do require our voices, we ought not to deny him.
Second Citizen:
We ma... |
He's to make his requests by
particulars; wherein every one of us has a single
honour, in giving him our own voices with our own
tongues: therefore follow me, and I direct you how
you shall go by him.
All:
Content, content.
MENENIUS:
O sir, you are not right: have you not known
The worthiest men have done't?
CORIOLA... |
I have your alms: adieu.
Third Citizen:
But this is something odd.
Second Citizen:
An 'twere to give again,--but 'tis no matter.
I have your alms: adieu.
Third Citizen:
But this is something odd.
Second Citizen:
An 'twere to give again,--but 'tis no matter.
CORIOLANUS:

God save thee, noble consul!
CORIOLANUS:
Worthy voices!
MENENIUS:
You have stood your limitation; and the tribunes
Endue you with the people's voice: remains
That, in the official marks invested, you
Anon do meet the senate.
CORIOLANUS:
Is this done?

The custom of request you have discharged:
The people d... |
Will you along?
BRUTUS:
We stay here for the people.
SICINIUS:
Fare you well.
He has it now, and by his looks methink
'Tis warm at 's heart.
BRUTUS:
With a proud heart he wore his humble weeds.
will you dismiss the people?
SICINIUS:

SICINIUS:

First Citizen:
He has our voices, si... |
Your ignorant election; enforce his pride,
And his old hate unto you; besides, forget not
With what contempt he wore the humble weed,
How in his suit he scorn'd you; but your loves,
Thinking upon his services, took from you
The apprehension of his present portance,
Which most gibingly, ungravely, he did fashion
After t... |
Welcome home.
Behold, these are the tribunes of the people,
The tongues o' the common mouth: I do despise them;
For they do prank them in authority,
Against all noble sufferance.
SICINIUS:
Welcome home.
Behold, these are the tribunes of the people,

My nobler friends,
I crave their pardons:
For the mutable, rank-scented many, let them
Regard me as I do not flatter, and
Therein behold themselves: I say again,
In soothing them, we nourish 'gainst our senate
The cockle of rebellion, insolence, sedition,
Which we ourselves have plough'd for, sow'd,
and scatter'd,
By m... |
By Jove himself!
It makes the consuls base: and my soul aches
To know, when two authorities are up,
Neither supreme, how soon confusion
May enter 'twixt the gap of both and take
The one by the other.
COMINIUS:
Well, on to the market-place.
CORIOLANUS:
Whoever gave that counsel, to give forth
The corn o' the storehous... |
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 the... |
You, tribunes
To the people! Coriolanus, patience!
Speak, good Sicinius.
SICINIUS:
Hear me, people; peace!
Citizens:
Let's hear our tribune: peace Speak, speak, speak.
SICINIUS:
You are at point to lose your liberties:
Marcius would have all from you; Marcius,
Whom late you have named for consul.
MENENIUS:
Fie, fie... |
Lay hands upon him,
And bear him to the rock.
CORIOLANUS:
No, I'll die here.
There's some among you have beheld me fighting:
Come, try upon yourselves what you have seen me.
MENENIUS:
Down with that sword! Tribunes, withdraw awhile.
BRUTUS:
Lay hands upon him.
COMINIUS:
Help Marcius, help,
You that be noble; help h... |
His heart's his mouth:
What his breast forges, that his tongue must vent;
And, being angry, does forget that ever
His heart's his mouth:
What his breast forges, that his tongue must vent;
He heard the name of death.
Here's goodly work!
Second Patrician:
I would they were abed!
MENENIUS:
I would they were in Tiber! Wh... |
Proceed by process;
Lest parties, as he is beloved, break out,
And sack great Rome with Romans.
BRUTUS:
If it were so,--
SICINIUS:
What do ye talk?
Have we not had a taste of his obedience?
Our aediles smote? ourselves resisted? Come.
Proceed by process;
Lest parties, as he is beloved, break out,
And sack great Rome ... |
We'll attend you there:
Where, if you bring not Marcius, we'll proceed
In our first way.
MENENIUS:
I'll bring him to you.
Let me desire your company: he must come,
Or what is worst will follow.
First Senator:
Pray you, let's to him.

I have heard you say,
Honour and policy, like unsever'd friends,
I' the war do grow together: grant that, and tell me,
In peace what each of them by the other lose,
That they combine not there.
CORIOLANUS:
Tush, tush!
MENENIUS:
A good demand.
VOLUMNIA:
If it be honour in your wars to seem
The same you are not, which... |
Than flatter him in a bower. Here is Cominius.
COMINIUS:
I have been i' the market-place; and, sir,'tis fit
You make strong party, or defend yourself
By calmness or by absence: all's in anger.
MENENIUS:
Only fair speech.
COMINIUS:
I think 'twill serve, if he
Can thereto frame his spirit.
VOLUMNIA:
He must, and will... |
Mildly!
BRUTUS:
In this point charge him home, that he affects
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 senator... |
Peace, ho!
CORIOLANUS:
Shall I be charged no further than this present?
Must all determine here?
SICINIUS:
I do demand,
If you submit you to the people's voices,
Allow their officers and are content
To suffer lawful censure for such faults
As shall be proved upon you?
CORIOLANUS:
I am content.
MENENIUS:
Lo, citizen... |
For that he has,
As much as in him lies, from time to time
Envied against the people, seeking means
To pluck away their power, as now at last
Given hostile strokes, and that not in the presence
Of dreaded justice, but on the ministers
That do distribute it; in the name o' the people
And in the power of us the tribunes,... |
Farewell, my wife, my mother:
I'll do well yet. Thou old and true Menenius,
Farewell, my wife, my mother:
Thy tears are salter than a younger man's,
And venomous to thine eyes. My sometime general,
I have seen thee stem, and thou hast oft beheld
Heart-hardening spectacles; tell these sad women
'Tis fond to wail inevita... |
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:
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.
What then?
VIRGILIA:

CORIOLANUS:
A goodly house: the feast smells well; but I
Appear not like a guest.
First Servingman:
What would you have, friend? whence are you?
Here's no place for you: pray, go to the door.
CORIOLANUS:
I have deserved no better entertainment,
In being Coriolanus.
Second Servingman:

trencher, hence!
AUFIDIUS:

Second Servingman:

disturbing the lords within.

And scarr'd the moon with splinters: here I clip

As hotly and as nobly with thy love

Mine arms about that body, where against
My grained ash an hundred times hath broke

Your hand: most welcome!
First Servingman:
Here's a strange alteration!
Second Servingman:
By my hand, I had thought to have strucken him with
a cudgel; and yet my mind gave me his clothes made a
false report of him.
First Servingman:
What an arm he has! he turned me about with his
finger and his thumb, as one would... |
He was too hard for him directly, to say the troth
on't: before Corioli he scotched him and notched
him like a carbon ado.
Second Servingman:
An he had been cannibally given, he might have
broiled and eaten him too.
First Servingman:
But, more of thy news?
Third Servingman:
Why, he is so made on here within, as if h... |
Here do we make his friends

Who is't can blame him?
Your enemies and his find something in him.

Who is't can blame him?

But what o' that? Go, you that banish'd him;

SICINIUS:
Not?
COMINIUS:

The gaoler to his pity. I kneel'd before him;
I shall ere long have knowledge
Of my success.

Can you,
when you have pushed out your gates the very
defender of them, and, in a violent popular

the palsied intercession of such a decayed dotant as
you seem to be? Can... |

GLOUCESTER:

Made glorious summer by this sun of York;

As yet I do not: but, as I can learn,

His issue disinherited should be;
And, for my name of George begins with G,
It follows in his thought that I am he.
