SECOND LORD. Peace, ho! No outrage- peace! |
The man is noble, and his fame folds in |
This orb o' th' earth. His last offences to us |
Shall have judicious hearing. Stand, Aufidius, |
And trouble not the peace. |
CORIOLANUS. O that I had him, |
With six Aufidiuses, or more- his tribe, |
To use my lawful sword! |
AUFIDIUS. Insolent villain! |
CONSPIRATORS. Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill him! |
[The CONSPIRATORS draw and kill CORIOLANUS,who falls. |
AUFIDIUS stands on him] |
LORDS. Hold, hold, hold, hold! |
AUFIDIUS. My noble masters, hear me speak. |
FIRST LORD. O Tullus! |
SECOND LORD. Thou hast done a deed whereat valour will weep. |
THIRD LORD. Tread not upon him. Masters all, be quiet; |
Put up your swords. |
AUFIDIUS. My lords, when you shall know- as in this rage, |
Provok'd by him, you cannot- the great danger |
Which this man's life did owe you, you'll rejoice |
That he is thus cut off. Please it your honours |
To call me to your Senate, I'll deliver |
Myself your loyal servant, or endure |
Your heaviest censure. |
FIRST LORD. Bear from hence his body, |
And mourn you for him. Let him be regarded |
As the most noble corse that ever herald |
Did follow to his um. |
SECOND LORD. His own impatience |
Takes from Aufidius a great part of blame. |
Let's make the best of it. |
AUFIDIUS. My rage is gone, |
And I am struck with sorrow. Take him up. |
Help, three o' th' chiefest soldiers; I'll be one. |
Beat thou the drum, that it speak mournfully; |
Trail your steel pikes. Though in this city he |
Hath widowed and unchilded many a one, |
Which to this hour bewail the injury, |
Yet he shall have a noble memory. |
Assist. Exeunt, bearing the body of CORIOLANUS |
[A dead march sounded] |

ACT I. SCENE I. |
Britain. The garden of CYMBELINE'S palace |
FIRST GENTLEMAN. You do not meet a man but frowns; our bloods |
No more obey the heavens than our courtiers |
Still seem as does the King's. |
SECOND GENTLEMAN. But what's the matter? |
FIRST GENTLEMAN. His daughter, and the heir of's kingdom, whom |
He purpos'd to his wife's sole son- a widow |
That late he married- hath referr'd herself |
Unto a poor but worthy gentleman. She's wedded; |
Her husband banish'd; she imprison'd. All |
