To your remembrances : but you have found,
Scaling his present bearing with his part,
That he's your fixed enemy, and revoke
Your fudden approbation.

With their refusal, both observe and anfwer
The vantage of his anger.

Sic. To the capitol, come ;
We will be there before the rtream o'the people;
And this mall feem, as partly 'tis, their own,

TIT. He had, my lord ; and that it was, which caus'd
Our fwifter composition.

COR. So then the Volciant ftand but as at firft;
Ready, when time mall prompt them, to make road
Upon us again.

TIT. On fafe-guard he came to me ; and did curfe

Yielded the town : he is retir'd to Antium.



58 Coriolanus.

COR. Spoke he of me?

T'jf. He did, my lord.

COR. How? what?

Tit. How often he had met you, fword to fword:
That, of all things upon the earth, he hated
Your perfon moft : that he would pawn his fortunes
To hopelefs reftitution, fo he might
Be call'd your vanquifher.

COR. At Antium lives he ?

TiT. At Antium.

COR. I wifh I had a cause to feek him there,
To oppose his hatred fully. Welcome home.

Enter SICIJTIUS, and BRUTUS.
Behold! these are the tribunes of the people.
The tongues o'the common mouth. I do defpise them:
For they do prank them in authority,
Againft all noble fufferance.

MEN. Be calm, be calm.

Co*. It is a purpos'd thing, and grows by plot,
To curb the will of the nobility : _
Suffer't, and live with fuch as cannot rule,
Nor ever will be rul'd.

BRU. Call't not a plot:

The people cry, you mock'd them; and, of late,
When corn was given them gratis, you repin'd,
Scandal'd the fuppliattts for the people, call'd them-".
Time-pleasers, flatterers, foes to noblenefs.

COR. Why, this was known before.

BRU. Not to them all.

Co*. Have you inform'd them iince?

BRU. How! 1 inform them !

Co*. You are like to do fuch businefs.

BRU. Not unlike,
Each way, to better yours.

Co* . Why then mould I be conful ? By yon' clouds,
Let me deserve fo ill as you, and make me
Your fellow tribune.

Sic. You (how too much of that,
For which the people ftir: If you will pafs

MEN. Not now, not now.

COR. Now, as I live, 1 will. My nobler friends,
I crave their pardons :

For the mutable, rank-fcented many, let them
Regard me as I do not flatter, and
Therein behold themfelves :_I fay again,
In foothing them, we nourim 'gainll our fenate
The cockle of rebellion, infolence, fedition,
Which we ourfelves have plow'd for, fow'd and fcatter'd,
By mingling them with us, the honour'd number;
Who lack not virtue, no, nor power, but that
Which they have given to beggars.

MEN. Well, no more.

I. S. No more words, we befeech you.

COR. How! no more?
As for my country I have fhed my blood,
Not fearing outward force, fo mall my lungs

COR. Whoever gave that couniei, to give forth

Sometime in Greece^

MEN. Well, well, no more of that.

COR. (Though there the people had more abfolute

The ruin of the ftate :

.5* tf. Why, (hall the people give
One, that fpeaks thus, their voice ?

COR. I'll give my reasons,

More worthier than their voices. They know, the corn
Was not our recompence; refting well aflur'd
They ne'er did fervice for't : Being preff'd to the war,
Even when the navel of the ftate was touch'd,
They would not thread the gates,: this kind of fervice
Did not deserve corn gratis : Being in the war,
Their mutinies and revolts, wherein they fhew'd
Moft valour, fpoke not for them : The accusation
Which they have often made againft the fenate,
All cause unborn, could never be the native
Of our fo frank donation. Well, what then ?
How {hall this bosom multiply'd digeft
The fenate's courtefy ? Let deeds exprefs
What's like to be their words : We did requeft it ;
We are the greater poll, and in true fear
They gave us our demands : Thus we debafe
The nature of our feats, and make the rabble
Call our cares, fears : which will in time
Break ope the locks o'the fenate, and bring in

The crows to peck the eagles.

MEN. Come, enough.

BRU. Enough, with over-measure.

COR. No, take more:

What may be fworn by, both divine and human,
Seal what I end withall ! This double worfhip,
Where one part does difdain with cause, the other
Infult without all reason ; where gentry, title, wisdom
Cannot conclude, but by the yea and no
Of general ignorance, it mult omit
Real neceffities, and give way the while
To unftable flightnefs : purpose fo bar'd, it follows,
Nothing is done to purpose : Therefore, befeech you,
You that will be lefs fearful than difcreet;
That love the fundamental part of ftate,
More than you doubt the change oft ; that prefer
A noble life before a long, and wim
To vamp a body with a dangerous physic,
That's fure of death without it, at once pluck out
The multitudinous tongue, let them not lick
The fweet which is their poison : Your dimonour
Mangles true judgment, and bereaves the ftate
Of that integrity which mould become't;
Not having power to do the good it would,
For the ill which doth controul't.

For we are peremptory, to difpatch
This viperous traitor: to eject him hence,
Were but one danger; and, to keep him here,
Our certain death ; therefore, it is decreed,
He dies to-night.

MEN. Now the good gods forbid,
That our renowned Rome, whose gratitude
Towards her deserving children is enrol'd
In Jove's own book, like an unnatural dam
Should now eat up her own !

Sic. He's a disease, that muft be cut away.

Afsff. O, he's a limb, that has but a disease;
Mortal, to cut it off; to cure it, easy.
What has he done to Rome, that's worthy death ?
Killing our enemies ? The blood he hath loft,
(Which, I dare vouch, is more than that he hath,
By many an ounce) he drop'd it for his country :
And, what is left, to lose it by his country,
Were to us all, that do't, and fuffer it,
A brand to the end o'the world.

Sic. This is clean kam.

Co*. Pray, be content;
Mother, I am going to the market-place;
Chide me no more. J'l! mountebank theii loves,
Cog their hearts from them, and ccme home belov'd
Of all the trades in Rome. Look, I am going :
Commend me to my wife. I'll return conful j
Or never trull to what my tongue can do,
1'the way of flattery- further.

VOL. Do your will. [Exit.
