camps._
_Alarum as in battle. Enter, from opposite sides,_ MARCIUS _and_
AUFIDIUS.[2719]
_Mar._ I'll fight with none but thee; for I do hate thee
Worse than a promise-breaker.
_Auf._ We hate alike:
Not Afric owns a serpent I abhor[2720]
More than thy fame and envy. Fix thy foot.[2721][2722]
_Mar._ Let the first budger die the other's slave,[2722] 5
And the gods doom him after!
_Auf._ If I fly, Marcius,[2723]
Holloa me like a hare.[2723][2724]
_Mar._ Within these three hours, Tullus,
Alone I fought in your Corioli walls,
And made what work I pleased: 'tis not my blood
Wherein thou seest me mask'd; for thy revenge 10
Wrench up thy power to the highest.
_Auf._ Wert thou the Hector[2725]
That was the whip of your bragg'd progeny,
Thou shouldst not 'scape me here.
[_They fight, and certain Volsces come in the aid of Aufidius.
Marcius fights till they be driven in breathless._[2726]
Officious, and not valiant, you have shamed me
In your condemned seconds. [_Exeunt._[2727] 15
