SCENE V. _Within Corioli. A street._[2660]

_Enter certain_ Romans, _with spoils_.

_First Rom._ This will I carry to Rome.

_Sec. Rom._ And I this.

_Third Rom._ A murrain on't! I took this for silver.

[_Alarum continues still afar off._

_Enter_ MARCIUS _and_ TITUS LARTIUS _with a trumpet_.[2661]

_Mar._ See here these movers that do prize their hours[2662]

At a crack'd drachma! Cushions, leaden spoons,[2663] 5

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![2664]

There is the man of my soul's hate, Aufidius, 10

Piercing our Romans: then, valiant Titus, take

Convenient numbers to make good the city;

Whilst I, with those that have the spirit, will haste[2665]

To help Cominius.

_Lart._ Worthy sir, thou bleed'st;

Thy exercise hath been too violent[2666] 15

For a second course of fight.[2666]

_Mar._ 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[2667][2668]

I will appear, and fight.[2667]

_Lart._ Now the fair goddess, Fortune, 20

Fall deep in love with thee; and her great charms

Misguide thy opposers' swords! Bold gentleman,[2669]

Prosperity be thy page!

_Mar._ Thy friend no less

Than those she placeth highest! So farewell.[2670]

_Lart._ Thou worthiest Marcius! [_Exit Marcius._[2671] 25

Go, sound thy trumpet in the market-place;[2672]

Call thither all the officers o' the town,[2673]

Where they shall know our mind. Away! [_Exeunt._
