Corio. What, what, what:

I shall be lou'd when I am lack'd. Nay Mother,

Resume that Spirit, when you were wont to say,

If you had beene the Wife of Hercules,

Six of his Labours youl'd haue done, and sau'd

Your Husband so much swet. Cominius,

Droope not, Adieu: Farewell my Wife, my Mother,

Ile do well yet. Thou old and true Menenius,

Thy teares are salter then a yonger mans,

And venomous to thine eyes. My (sometime) Generall,

I haue seene the Sterne, and thou hast oft beheld

Heart-hardning spectacles. Tell these sad women,

Tis fond to waile ineuitable strokes,

As 'tis to laugh at 'em. My Mother, you wot well

My hazards still haue beene your solace, and

Beleeu't not lightly, though I go alone

Like to a lonely Dragon, that his Fenne

Makes fear'd, and talk'd of more then seene: your Sonne

Will or exceed the Common, or be caught

With cautelous baits and practice

Volum. My first sonne,

Whether will thou go? Take good Cominius

With thee awhile: Determine on some course

More then a wilde exposture, to each chance

That starts i'th' way before thee

Corio. O the Gods!

Com. Ile follow thee a Moneth, deuise with thee

Where thou shalt rest, that thou may'st heare of vs,

And we of thee. So if the time thrust forth

A cause for thy Repeale, we shall not send

O're the vast world, to seeke a single man,

And loose aduantage, which doth euer coole

Ith' absence of the needer

Corio. Fare ye well:

Thou hast yeares vpon thee, and thou art too full

Of the warres surfets, to go roue with one

That's yet vnbruis'd: bring me but out at gate.

Come my sweet wife, my deerest Mother, and

My Friends of Noble touch: when I am forth,

Bid me farewell, and smile. I pray you come:

While I remaine aboue the ground, you shall

Heare from me still, and neuer of me ought

But what is like me formerly

Menen. That's worthily

As any eare can heare. Come, let's not weepe,

If I could shake off but one seuen yeeres

From these old armes and legges, by the good Gods

I'ld with thee, euery foot

Corio. Giue me thy hand, come.

Exeunt.

Enter the two Tribunes, Sicinius, and Brutus, with the Edile.

Sicin. Bid them all home, he's gone: & wee'l no further,

The Nobility are vexed, whom we see haue sided

In his behalfe

Brut. Now we haue shewne our power,

Let vs seeme humbler after it is done,

Then when it was a dooing

Sicin. Bid them home: say their great enemy is gone,

And they, stand in their ancient strength

Brut. Dismisse them home. Here comes his Mother.

Enter Volumnia, Virgilia, and Menenius.

Sicin. Let's not meet her

Brut. Why?

Sicin. They say she's mad

Brut. They haue tane note of vs: keepe on your way

Volum. Oh y'are well met:

Th' hoorded plague a'th' Gods requit your loue

Menen. Peace, peace, be not so loud

Volum. If that I could for weeping, you should heare,

Nay, and you shall heare some. Will you be gone?

Virg. You shall stay too: I would I had the power

To say so to my Husband

Sicin. Are you mankinde?

Volum. I foole, is that a shame. Note but this Foole,

Was not a man my Father? Had'st thou Foxship

To banish him that strooke more blowes for Rome

Then thou hast spoken words

Sicin. Oh blessed Heauens!

Volum. Moe Noble blowes, then euer y wise words.

And for Romes good, Ile tell thee what: yet goe:

Nay but thou shalt stay too: I would my Sonne

Were in Arabia, and thy Tribe before him,

His good Sword in his hand

Sicin. What then?

Virg. When then? Hee'ld make an end of thy posterity

Volum. Bastards, and all.

Good man, the Wounds that he does beare for Rome!

Menen. Come, come, peace

Sicin. I would he had continued to his Country

As he began, and not vnknit himselfe

The Noble knot he made

Bru. I would he had

Volum. I would he had? Twas thou incenst the rable.

Cats, that can iudge as fitly of his worth,

As I can of those Mysteries which heauen

Will not haue earth to know

Brut. Pray let's go

Volum. Now pray sir get you gone.

You haue done a braue deede: Ere you go, heare this:

As farre as doth the Capitoll exceede

The meanest house in Rome; so farre my Sonne

This Ladies Husband heere; this (do you see)

Whom you haue banish'd, does exceed you all

Bru. Well, well, wee'l leaue you

Sicin. Why stay we to be baited

With one that wants her Wits.

Exit Tribunes.

Volum. Take my Prayers with you.

I would the Gods had nothing else to do,

But to confirme my Cursses. Could I meete 'em

But once a day, it would vnclogge my heart

Of what lyes heauy too't

Mene. You haue told them home,

And by my troth you haue cause: you'l Sup with me

Volum. Angers my Meate: I suppe vpon my selfe,

And so shall sterue with Feeding: come, let's go,

Leaue this faint-puling, and lament as I do,

In Anger, Iuno-like: Come, come, come.

Exeunt.

Mene. Fie, fie, fie.

Enter.

Enter a Roman, and a Volce.

Rom. I know you well sir, and you know mee: your

name I thinke is Adrian

Volce. It is so sir, truly I haue forgot you

Rom. I am a Roman, and my Seruices are as you are,

against 'em. Know you me yet

Volce. Nicanor: no

Rom. The same sir

Volce. You had more Beard when I last saw you, but

your Fauour is well appear'd by your Tongue. What's

the Newes in Rome: I haue a Note from the Volcean

state to finde you out there. You haue well saued mee a

dayes iourney

Rom. There hath beene in Rome straunge Insurrections:

The people, against the Senatours, Patricians, and

Nobles

Vol. Hath bin; is it ended then? Our State thinks not

so, they are in a most warlike preparation, & hope to com

vpon them, in the heate of their diuision

Rom. The maine blaze of it is past, but a small thing

would make it flame againe. For the Nobles receyue so

to heart, the Banishment of that worthy Coriolanus, that

they are in a ripe aptnesse, to take al power from the people,

and to plucke from them their Tribunes for euer.

This lyes glowing I can tell you, and is almost mature for

the violent breaking out

Vol. Coriolanus Banisht?

Rom. Banish'd sir

Vol. You will be welcome with this intelligence Nicanor

Rom. The day serues well for them now. I haue heard

it saide, the fittest time to corrupt a mans Wife, is when

shee's falne out with her Husband. Your Noble Tullus

Auffidius will appeare well in these Warres, his great

Opposer Coriolanus being now in no request of his countrey

Volce. He cannot choose: I am most fortunate, thus

accidentally to encounter you. You haue ended my Businesse,

and I will merrily accompany you home

Rom. I shall betweene this and Supper, tell you most

strange things from Rome: all tending to the good of

their Aduersaries. Haue you an Army ready say you?

Vol. A most Royall one: The Centurions, and their

charges distinctly billetted already in th' entertainment,

and to be on foot at an houres warning

Rom. I am ioyfull to heare of their readinesse, and am

the man I thinke, that shall set them in present Action. So

sir, heartily well met, and most glad of your Company

Volce. You take my part from me sir, I haue the most

cause to be glad of yours

Rom. Well, let vs go together.

Exeunt.

Enter Coriolanus in meane Apparrell, disguisd, and muffled.

Corio. A goodly City is this Antium. Citty,

'Tis I that made thy Widdowes: Many an heyre

Of these faire Edifices fore my Warres

Haue I heard groane, and drop: Then know me not,

Least that thy Wiues with Spits, and Boyes with stones

In puny Battell slay me. Saue you sir.

Enter a Citizen.

Cit. And you

Corio. Direct me, if it be your will, where great Auffidius

lies: Is he in Antium?

Cit. He is, and Feasts the Nobles of the State, at his

house this night

Corio. Which is his house, beseech you?

Cit. This heere before you

Corio. Thanke you sir, farewell.

Exit Citizen

Oh World, thy slippery turnes! Friends now fast sworn,

Whose double bosomes seemes to weare one heart,

Whose Houres, whose Bed, whose Meale and Exercise

Are still together: who Twin (as 'twere) in Loue,

Vnseparable, shall within this houre,

On a dissention of a Doit, breake out

To bitterest Enmity: So fellest Foes,

Whose Passions, and whose Plots haue broke their sleep

To take the one the other, by some chance,

Some tricke not worth an Egge, shall grow deere friends

And inter-ioyne their yssues. So with me,

My Birth-place haue I, and my loues vpon

This Enemie Towne: Ile enter, if he slay me

He does faire Iustice: if he giue me way,

Ile do his Country Seruice.

Enter.

Musicke playes. Enter a Seruingman.

1 Ser. Wine, Wine, Wine: What seruice is heere? I

thinke our Fellowes are asleepe.

Enter another Seruingman.

2 Ser. Where's Cotus: my M[aster]. cals for him: Cotus.

Exit

Enter Coriolanus.

Corio. A goodly House:

The Feast smels well: but I appeare not like a Guest.

Enter the first Seruingman.

1 Ser. What would you haue Friend? whence are you?

Here's no place for you: pray go to the doore?

Exit

Corio. I haue deseru'd no better entertainment, in being

Coriolanus.

Enter second Seruant.

2 Ser. Whence are you sir? Ha's the Porter his eyes in

his head, that he giues entrance to such Companions?

Pray get you out

Corio. Away

2 Ser. Away? Get you away

Corio. Now th'art troublesome

2 Ser. Are you so braue: Ile haue you talkt with anon

Enter 3 Seruingman, the 1 meets him.

3 What Fellowes this?

1 A strange one as euer I look'd on: I cannot get him

out o'thhouse: Prythee call my Master to him

3 What haue you to do here fellow? Pray you auoid

the house

Corio. Let me but stand, I will not hurt your Harth

3 What are you?

Corio. A Gentleman

3 A maru'llous poore one

Corio. True, so I am

3 Pray you poore Gentleman, take vp some other station:

Heere's no place for you, pray you auoid: Come

Corio. Follow your Function, go, and batten on colde

bits.

Pushes him away from him.

3 What you will not? Prythee tell my Maister what

a strange Guest he ha's heere

2 And I shall.

Exit second Seruingman.

3 Where dwel'st thou?

Corio. Vnder the Canopy

3 Vnder the Canopy?

Corio. I

3 Where's that?

Corio. I'th City of Kites and crowes

3 I'th City of Kites and Crowes? What an Asse it is,

then thou dwel'st with Dawes too?

Corio. No, I serue not thy Master

3 How sir? Do you meddle with my Master?

Corio. I, tis an honester seruice, then to meddle with

thy Mistris: Thou prat'st, and prat'st, serue with thy trencher:

Hence.

Beats him away

Enter Auffidius with the Seruingman.

Auf. Where is this Fellow?

2 Here sir, I'de haue beaten him like a dogge, but for

disturbing the Lords within

Auf. Whence com'st thou? What wouldst y? Thy name?

Why speak'st not? Speake man: What's thy name?

Corio. If Tullus not yet thou know'st me, and seeing

me, dost not thinke me for the man I am, necessitie commands

me name my selfe

Auf. What is thy name?

Corio. A name vnmusicall to the Volcians eares,

And harsh in sound to thine

Auf. Say, what's thy name?

Thou hast a Grim apparance, and thy Face

Beares a Command in't: Though thy Tackles torne,

Thou shew'st a Noble Vessell: What's thy name?

Corio. Prepare thy brow to frowne: knowst y me yet?

Auf. I know thee not? Thy Name:

Corio. My name is Caius Martius, who hath done

To thee particularly, and to all the Volces

Great hurt and Mischiefe: thereto witnesse may

My Surname Coriolanus. The painfull Seruice,

The extreme Dangers, and the droppes of Blood

Shed for my thanklesse Country, are requitted:

But with that Surname, a good memorie

And witnesse of the Malice and Displeasure

Which thou should'st beare me, only that name remains.

The Cruelty and Enuy of the people,

Permitted by our dastard Nobles, who

Haue all forsooke me, hath deuour'd the rest:

And suffer'd me by th' voyce of Slaues to be

Hoop'd out of Rome. Now this extremity,

Hath brought me to thy Harth, not out of Hope

(Mistake me not) to saue my life: for if

I had fear'd death, of all the Men i'th' World

I would haue voided thee. But in meere spight

To be full quit of those my Banishers,

Stand I before thee heere: Then if thou hast

A heart of wreake in thee, that wilt reuenge

Thine owne particular wrongs, and stop those maimes

Of shame seene through thy Country, speed thee straight

And make my misery serue thy turne: So vse it,

That my reuengefull Seruices may proue

As Benefits to thee. For I will fight

Against my Cankred Countrey, with the Spleene

Of all the vnder Fiends. But if so be,

Thou dar'st not this, and that to proue more Fortunes

Th'art tyr'd, then in a word, I also am

Longer to liue most wearie: and present

My throat to thee, and to thy Ancient Malice:

Which not to cut, would shew thee but a Foole,

Since I haue euer followed thee with hate,

Drawne Tunnes of Blood out of thy Countries brest,

And cannot liue but to thy shame, vnlesse

It be to do thee seruice

Auf. Oh Martius, Martius;

Each word thou hast spoke, hath weeded from my heart

A roote of Ancient Enuy. If Iupiter

Should from yond clowd speake diuine things,

And say 'tis true; I'de not beleeue them more

Then thee all-Noble Martius. Let me twine

Mine armes about that body, where against

My grained Ash an hundred times hath broke,

And scarr'd the Moone with splinters: heere I cleep

The Anuile of my Sword, and do contest

As hotly, and as Nobly with thy Loue,

As euer in Ambitious strength, I did

Contend against thy Valour. Know thou first,

I lou'd the Maid I married: neuer man

Sigh'd truer breath. But that I see thee heere

Thou Noble thing, more dances my rapt heart,

Then when I first my wedded Mistris saw

Bestride my Threshold. Why, thou Mars I tell thee,

We haue a Power on foote: and I had purpose

Once more to hew thy Target from thy Brawne,

Or loose mine Arme for't: Thou hast beate mee out

Twelue seuerall times, and I haue nightly since

Dreamt of encounters 'twixt thy selfe and me:

We haue beene downe together in my sleepe,

Vnbuckling Helmes, fisting each others Throat,

And wak'd halfe dead with nothing. Worthy Martius,

Had we no other quarrell else to Rome, but that

Thou art thence Banish'd, we would muster all

From twelue, to seuentie: and powring Warre

Into the bowels of vngratefull Rome,

Like a bold Flood o're-beate. Oh come, go in,

And take our friendly Senators by'th' hands

Who now are heere, taking their leaues of mee,

Who am prepar'd against your Territories,

Though not for Rome it selfe

Corio. You blesse me Gods

Auf. Therefore most absolute Sir, if thou wilt haue

The leading of thine owne Reuenges, take

Th' one halfe of my Commission, and set downe

As best thou art experienc'd, since thou know'st

Thy Countries strength and weaknesse, thine own waies

Whether to knocke against the Gates of Rome,

Or rudely visit them in parts remote,

To fright them, ere destroy. But come in,

Let me commend thee first, to those that shall

Say yea to thy desires. A thousand welcomes,

And more a Friend, then ere an Enemie,

Yet Martius that was much. Your hand: most welcome.

Exeunt.

Enter two of the Seruingmen.

1 Heere's a strange alteration?

2 By my hand, I had thoght to haue stroken him with

a Cudgell, and yet my minde gaue me, his cloathes made

a false report of him

1 What an Arme he has, he turn'd me about with his

finger and his thumbe, as one would set vp a Top

2 Nay, I knew by his face that there was some-thing

in him. He had sir, a kinde of face me thought, I cannot

tell how to tearme it

1 He had so, looking as it were, would I were hang'd

but I thought there was more in him, then I could think

2 So did I, Ile be sworne: He is simply the rarest man

i'th' world

1 I thinke he is: but a greater soldier then he,

You wot one

2 Who my Master?

1 Nay, it's no matter for that

2 Worth six on him

1 Nay not so neither: but I take him to be the greater

Souldiour

2 Faith looke you, one cannot tell how to say that: for

the Defence of a Towne, our Generall is excellent

1 I, and for an assault too.

Enter the third Seruingman.

3 Oh Slaues, I can tell you Newes, News you Rascals

Both. What, what, what? Let's partake

3 I would not be a Roman of all Nations; I had as

liue be a condemn'd man

Both. Wherefore? Wherefore?

3 Why here's he that was wont to thwacke our Generall,

Caius Martius

1 Why do you say, thwacke our Generall?

3 I do not say thwacke our Generall, but he was alwayes

good enough for him

2 Come we are fellowes and friends: he was euer too

hard for him, I haue heard him say so himselfe

1 He was too hard for him directly, to say the Troth

on't before Corioles, he scotcht him, and notcht him like a

Carbinado

2 And hee had bin Cannibally giuen, hee might haue

boyld and eaten him too

1 But more of thy Newes

3 Why he is so made on heere within, as if hee were

Son and Heire to Mars, set at vpper end o'th' Table: No

question askt him by any of the Senators, but they stand

bald before him. Our Generall himselfe makes a Mistris

of him, Sanctifies himselfe with's hand, and turnes vp the

white o'th' eye to his Discourse. But the bottome of the

Newes is, our Generall is cut i'th' middle, & but one halfe

of what he was yesterday. For the other ha's halfe, by

the intreaty and graunt of the whole Table. Hee'l go he

sayes, and sole the Porter of Rome Gates by th' eares. He

will mowe all downe before him, and leaue his passage

poul'd

2 And he's as like to do't, as any man I can imagine

3 Doo't? he will doo't: for look you sir, he has as many

Friends as Enemies: which Friends sir as it were, durst

not (looke you sir) shew themselues (as we terme it) his

Friends, whilest he's in Directitude

1 Directitude? What's that?

3 But when they shall see sir, his Crest vp againe, and

the man in blood, they will out of their Burroughes (like

Conies after Raine) and reuell all with him

1 But when goes this forward:

3 To morrow, to day, presently, you shall haue the

Drum strooke vp this afternoone: 'Tis as it were a parcel

of their Feast, and to be executed ere they wipe their lips

2 Why then wee shall haue a stirring World againe:

This peace is nothing, but to rust Iron, encrease Taylors,

and breed Ballad-makers

1 Let me haue Warre say I, it exceeds peace as farre

as day do's night: It's sprightly walking, audible, and full

of Vent. Peace, is a very Apoplexy, Lethargie, mull'd,

deafe, sleepe, insensible, a getter of more bastard Children,

then warres a destroyer of men

2 'Tis so, and as warres in some sort may be saide to

be a Rauisher, so it cannot be denied, but peace is a great

maker of Cuckolds

1 I, and it makes men hate one another

3 Reason, because they then lesse neede one another:

The Warres for my money. I hope to see Romanes as

cheape as Volcians. They are rising, they are rising

Both. In, in, in, in.

Exeunt.

Enter the two Tribunes, Sicinius, and Brutus.

Sicin. We heare not of him, neither need we fear him,

His remedies are tame, the present peace,

And quietnesse of the people, which before

Were in wilde hurry. Heere do we make his Friends

Blush, that the world goes well: who rather had,

Though they themselues did suffer by't, behold

Dissentious numbers pestring streets, then see

Our Tradesmen singing in their shops, and going

About their Functions friendly.

Enter Menenius.

Bru. We stood too't in good time. Is this Menenius?

Sicin. 'Tis he, 'tis he: O he is grown most kind of late:

Haile Sir

Mene. Haile to you both

Sicin. Your Coriolanus is not much mist, but with his

Friends: the Commonwealth doth stand, and so would

do, were he more angry at it

Mene. All's well, and might haue bene much better,

if he could haue temporiz'd

Sicin. Where is he, heare you?

Mene. Nay I heare nothing:

His Mother and his wife, heare nothing from him.

Enter three or foure Citizens.

All. The Gods preserue you both

Sicin. Gooden our Neighbours

Bru. Gooden to you all, gooden to you all

1 Our selues, our wiues, and children, on our knees,

Are bound to pray for you both

Sicin. Liue, and thriue

Bru. Farewell kinde Neighbours:

We wisht Coriolanus had lou'd you as we did

All. Now the Gods keepe you

Both Tri. Farewell, farewell.

Exeunt. Citizens

Sicin. This is a happier and more comely time,

Then when these Fellowes ran about the streets,

Crying Confusion

Bru. Caius Martius was

A worthy Officer i'th' Warre, but Insolent,

O'recome with Pride, Ambitious, past all thinking

Selfe-louing

Sicin. And affecting one sole Throne, without assista[n]ce

Mene. I thinke not so

Sicin. We should by this, to all our Lamention,

If he had gone forth Consull, found it so

Bru. The Gods haue well preuented it, and Rome

Sits safe and still, without him.

Enter an aedile.

Aedile. Worthy Tribunes,

There is a Slaue whom we haue put in prison,

Reports the Volces with two seuerall Powers

Are entred in the Roman Territories,

And with the deepest malice of the Warre,

Destroy, what lies before' em

Mene. 'Tis Auffidius,

Who hearing of our Martius Banishment,

Thrusts forth his hornes againe into the world

Which were In-shell'd, when Martius stood for Rome,

And durst not once peepe out

Sicin. Come, what talke you of Martius

Bru. Go see this Rumorer whipt, it cannot be,

The Volces dare breake with vs

Mene. Cannot be?

We haue Record, that very well it can,

And three examples of the like, hath beene

Within my Age. But reason with the fellow

Before you punish him, where he heard this,

Least you shall chance to whip your Information,

And beate the Messenger, who bids beware

Of what is to be dreaded

Sicin. Tell not me: I know this cannot be

Bru. Not possible.

Enter a Messenger.

Mes. The Nobles in great earnestnesse are going

All to the Senate-house: some newes is comming

That turnes their Countenances

Sicin. 'Tis this Slaue:

Go whip him fore the peoples eyes: His raising,

Nothing but his report

Mes. Yes worthy Sir,

The Slaues report is seconded, and more

More fearfull is deliuer'd

Sicin. What more fearefull?

Mes. It is spoke freely out of many mouths,

How probable I do not know, that Martius

Ioyn'd with Auffidius, leads a power 'gainst Rome,

And vowes Reuenge as spacious, as betweene

The yong'st and oldest thing

Sicin. This is most likely

Bru. Rais'd onely, that the weaker sort may wish

Good Martius home againe

Sicin. The very tricke on't

Mene. This is vnlikely,

He, and Auffidius can no more attone

Then violent'st Contrariety.

Enter Messenger.

Mes. You are sent for to the Senate:

A fearefull Army, led by Caius Martius,

Associated with Auffidius, Rages

Vpon our Territories, and haue already

O're-borne their way, consum'd with fire, and tooke

What lay before them.

Enter Cominius.

Com. Oh you haue made good worke

Mene. What newes? What newes?

Com. You haue holp to rauish your owne daughters, &

To melt the Citty Leades vpon your pates,

To see your Wiues dishonour'd to your Noses

Mene. What's the newes? What's the newes?

Com. Your Temples burned in their Ciment, and

Your Franchises, whereon you stood, confin'd

Into an Augors boare

Mene. Pray now, your Newes:

You haue made faire worke I feare me: pray your newes,

If Martius should be ioyn'd with Volceans

Com. If? He is their God, he leads them like a thing

Made by some other Deity then Nature,

That shapes man Better: and they follow him

Against vs Brats, with no lesse Confidence,

Then Boyes pursuing Summer Butter-flies,

Or Butchers killing Flyes

Mene. You haue made good worke,

You and your Apron men: you, that stood so much

Vpon the voyce of occupation, and

The breath of Garlicke-eaters

Com. Hee'l shake your Rome about your eares

Mene. As Hercules did shake downe Mellow Fruite:

You haue made faire worke

Brut. But is this true sir?

Com. I, and you'l looke pale

Before you finde it other. All the Regions

Do smilingly Reuolt, and who resists

Are mock'd for valiant Ignorance,

And perish constant Fooles: who is't can blame him?

Your Enemies and his, finde something in him

Mene. We are all vndone, vnlesse

The Noble man haue mercy

Com. Who shall aske it?

The Tribunes cannot doo't for shame; the people

Deserue such pitty of him, as the Wolfe

Doe's of the Shepheards: For his best Friends, if they

Should say be good to Rome, they charg'd him, euen

As those should do that had deseru'd his hate,

And therein shew'd like Enemies

Me. 'Tis true, if he were putting to my house, the brand

That should consume it, I haue not the face

To say, beseech you cease. You haue made faire hands,

You and your Crafts, you haue crafted faire

Com. You haue brought

A Trembling vpon Rome, such as was neuer

S' incapeable of helpe

Tri. Say not, we brought it

Mene. How? Was't we? We lou'd him,

But like Beasts, and Cowardly Nobles,

Gaue way vnto your Clusters, who did hoote

Him out o'th' Citty

Com. But I feare

They'l roare him in againe. Tullus Affidius,

The second name of men, obeyes his points

As if he were his Officer: Desperation,

Is all the Policy, Strength, and Defence

That Rome can make against them.

Enter a Troope of Citizens.

Mene. Heere come the Clusters.

And is Auffidius with him? You are they

That made the Ayre vnwholsome, when you cast

Your stinking, greasie Caps, in hooting

At Coriolanus Exile. Now he's comming,

And not a haire vpon a Souldiers head

Which will not proue a whip: As many Coxcombes

As you threw Caps vp, will he tumble downe,

And pay you for your voyces. 'Tis no matter,

If he could burne vs all into one coale,

We haue deseru'd it

Omnes. Faith, we heare fearfull Newes

1 Cit. For mine owne part,

When I said banish him, I said 'twas pitty
