<A NAME=speech1><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=1>Tullus Aufidius then had made new head?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech2><b>LARTIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=2>He had, my lord; and that it was which caused</A><br>
<A NAME=3>Our swifter composition.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech3><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=4>So then the Volsces stand but as at first,</A><br>
<A NAME=5>Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road.</A><br>
<A NAME=6>Upon's again.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech4><b>COMINIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=7>They are worn, lord consul, so,</A><br>
<A NAME=8>That we shall hardly in our ages see</A><br>
<A NAME=9>Their banners wave again.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech5><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=10>Saw you Aufidius?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech6><b>LARTIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=11>On safe-guard he  came to me; and did curse</A><br>
<A NAME=12>Against the Volsces, for they had so vilely</A><br>
<A NAME=13>Yielded the town: he is retired to Antium.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech7><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=14>Spoke he of me?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech8><b>LARTIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=15>                  He did, my lord.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech9><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=16>How? what?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech10><b>LARTIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=17>How often he had met you, sword to sword;</A><br>
<A NAME=18>That of all things upon the earth he hated</A><br>
<A NAME=19>Your person most, that he would pawn his fortunes</A><br>
<A NAME=20>To hopeless restitution, so he might</A><br>
<A NAME=21>Be call'd your vanquisher.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
<A NAME=23>At Antium.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech13><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>

<A NAME=24>I wish I had a cause to seek him there,</A><br>
<A NAME=25>To oppose his hatred fully. Welcome home.</A><br>
<p><i>Enter SICINIUS and BRUTUS</i></p>
<A NAME=26>Behold, these are the tribunes of the people,</A><br>
<A NAME=27>The tongues o' the common mouth: I do despise them;</A><br>
<A NAME=28>For they do prank them in authority,</A><br>
<A NAME=29>Against all noble sufferance.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech14><b>SICINIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=30>Pass no further.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech15><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=31>Ha! what is that?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech16><b>BRUTUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=32>It will be dangerous to go on: no further.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech17><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=33>What makes this change?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech18><b>MENENIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=34>The matter?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech19><b>COMINIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=35>Hath he not pass'd the noble and the common?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech20><b>BRUTUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=36>Cominius, no.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech21><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=37>                  Have I had children's voices?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech22><b>First Senator</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=38>Tribunes, give way; he shall to the market-place.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech23><b>BRUTUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=39>The people are incensed against him.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech24><b>SICINIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=40>Stop,</A><br>
<A NAME=41>Or all will fall in broil.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech25><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=42>Are these your herd?</A><br>
<A NAME=43>Must these have voices, that can yield them now</A><br>
<A NAME=44>And straight disclaim their tongues? What are</A><br>
<A NAME=45>your offices?</A><br>
<A NAME=46>You being their mouths, why rule you not their teeth?</A><br>
<A NAME=47>Have you not set them on?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech26><b>MENENIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=48>Be calm, be calm.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech27><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=49>It is a purposed thing, and grows by plot,</A><br>
<A NAME=50>To curb the will of the nobility:</A><br>
<A NAME=51>Suffer't, and live with such as cannot rule</A><br>
<A NAME=52>Nor ever will be ruled.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech28><b>BRUTUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=53>Call't not a plot:</A><br>
<A NAME=54>The people cry you mock'd them, and of late,</A><br>
<A NAME=55>When corn was given them gratis, you repined;</A><br>
<A NAME=56>Scandal'd the suppliants for the people, call'd them</A><br>
<A NAME=57>Time-pleasers, flatterers, foes to nobleness.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech29><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=58>Why, this was known before.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech30><b>BRUTUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=59>Not to them all.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech31><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=60>Have you inform'd them sithence?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech32><b>BRUTUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=61>How! I inform them!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech33><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=62>You are like to do such business.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech34><b>BRUTUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=63>Not unlike,</A><br>
<A NAME=64>Each way, to better yours.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech35><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=65>Why then should I be consul? By yond clouds,</A><br>
<A NAME=66>Let me deserve so ill as you, and make me</A><br>
<A NAME=67>Your fellow tribune.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech36><b>SICINIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=68>You show too much of that</A><br>
<A NAME=69>For which the people stir: if you will pass</A><br>
<A NAME=70>To where you are bound, you must inquire your way,</A><br>
<A NAME=71>Which you are out of, with a gentler spirit,</A><br>
<A NAME=72>Or never be so noble as a consul,</A><br>
<A NAME=73>Nor yoke with him for tribune.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech37><b>MENENIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=74>Let's be calm.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech38><b>COMINIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=75>The people are abused; set on. This paltering</A><br>
<A NAME=76>Becomes not Rome, nor has Coriolanus</A><br>
<A NAME=77>Deserved this so dishonour'd rub, laid falsely</A><br>
<A NAME=78>I' the plain way of his merit.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech39><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=79>Tell me of corn!</A><br>
<A NAME=80>This was my speech, and I will speak't again--</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech40><b>MENENIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=81>Not now, not now.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech41><b>First Senator</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=82>                  Not in this heat, sir, now.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech42><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=83>Now, as I live, I will. My nobler friends,</A><br>
<A NAME=84>I crave their pardons:</A><br>
<A NAME=85>For the mutable, rank-scented many, let them</A><br>
<A NAME=86>Regard me as I do not flatter, and</A><br>
<A NAME=87>Therein behold themselves: I say again,</A><br>
<A NAME=88>In soothing them, we nourish 'gainst our senate</A><br>
<A NAME=89>The cockle of rebellion, insolence, sedition,</A><br>
<A NAME=90>Which we ourselves have plough'd for, sow'd,</A><br>
<A NAME=91>and scatter'd,</A><br>
<A NAME=92>By mingling them with us, the honour'd number,</A><br>
<A NAME=93>Who lack not virtue, no, nor power, but that</A><br>
<A NAME=94>Which they have given to beggars.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech43><b>MENENIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=95>Well, no more.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech44><b>First Senator</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=96>No more words, we beseech you.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech45><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=97>How! no more!</A><br>
<A NAME=98>As for my country I have shed my blood,</A><br>
<A NAME=99>Not fearing outward force, so shall my lungs</A><br>
<A NAME=100>Coin words till their decay against those measles,</A><br>
<A NAME=101>Which we disdain should tatter us, yet sought</A><br>
<A NAME=102>The very way to catch them.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech46><b>BRUTUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=103>You speak o' the people,</A><br>
<A NAME=104>As if you were a god to punish, not</A><br>
<A NAME=105>A man of their infirmity.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech47><b>SICINIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=106>'Twere well</A><br>
<A NAME=107>We let the people know't.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech48><b>MENENIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=108>What, what? his choler?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech49><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=109>Choler!</A><br>
<A NAME=110>Were I as patient as the midnight sleep,</A><br>
<A NAME=111>By Jove, 'twould be my mind!</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech50><b>SICINIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=112>It is a mind</A><br>
<A NAME=113>That shall remain a poison where it is,</A><br>
<A NAME=114>Not poison any further.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech51><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=115>Shall remain!</A><br>
<A NAME=116>Hear you this Triton of the minnows? mark you</A><br>
<A NAME=117>His absolute 'shall'?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech52><b>COMINIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=118>'Twas from the canon.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech53><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=119>'Shall'!</A><br>
<A NAME=120>O good but most unwise patricians! why,</A><br>
<A NAME=121>You grave but reckless senators, have you thus</A><br>
<A NAME=122>Given Hydra here to choose an officer,</A><br>
<A NAME=123>That with his peremptory 'shall,' being but</A><br>
<A NAME=124>The horn and noise o' the monster's, wants not spirit</A><br>
<A NAME=125>To say he'll turn your current in a ditch,</A><br>
<A NAME=126>And make your channel his? If he have power</A><br>
<A NAME=127>Then vail your ignorance; if none, awake</A><br>
<A NAME=128>Your dangerous lenity. If you are learn'd,</A><br>
<A NAME=129>Be not as common fools; if you are not,</A><br>
<A NAME=130>Let them have cushions by you. You are plebeians,</A><br>
<A NAME=131>If they be senators: and they are no less,</A><br>
<A NAME=132>When, both your voices blended, the great'st taste</A><br>
<A NAME=133>Most palates theirs. They choose their magistrate,</A><br>
<A NAME=134>And such a one as he, who puts his 'shall,'</A><br>
<A NAME=135>His popular 'shall' against a graver bench</A><br>
<A NAME=136>Than ever frown in Greece. By Jove himself!</A><br>
<A NAME=137>It makes the consuls base: and my soul aches</A><br>
<A NAME=138>To know, when two authorities are up,</A><br>
<A NAME=139>Neither supreme, how soon confusion</A><br>
<A NAME=140>May enter 'twixt the gap of both and take</A><br>
<A NAME=141>The one by the other.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech54><b>COMINIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=142>Well, on to the market-place.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech55><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=143>Whoever gave that counsel, to give forth</A><br>
<A NAME=144>The corn o' the storehouse gratis, as 'twas used</A><br>
<A NAME=145>Sometime in Greece,--</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech56><b>MENENIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=146>Well, well, no more of that.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech57><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=147>Though there the people had more absolute power,</A><br>
<A NAME=148>I say, they nourish'd disobedience, fed</A><br>
<A NAME=149>The ruin of the state.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech58><b>BRUTUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=150>Why, shall the people give</A><br>
<A NAME=151>One that speaks thus their voice?</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech59><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=152>I'll give my reasons,</A><br>
<A NAME=153>More worthier than their voices. They know the corn</A><br>
<A NAME=154>Was not our recompense, resting well assured</A><br>
<A NAME=155>That ne'er did service for't: being press'd to the war,</A><br>
<A NAME=156>Even when the navel of the state was touch'd,</A><br>
<A NAME=157>They would not thread the gates. This kind of service</A><br>
<A NAME=158>Did not deserve corn gratis. Being i' the war</A><br>
<A NAME=159>Their mutinies and revolts, wherein they show'd</A><br>
<A NAME=160>Most valour, spoke not for them: the accusation</A><br>
<A NAME=161>Which they have often made against the senate,</A><br>
<A NAME=162>All cause unborn, could never be the motive</A><br>
<A NAME=163>Of our so frank donation. Well, what then?</A><br>
<A NAME=164>How shall this bisson multitude digest</A><br>
<A NAME=165>The senate's courtesy? Let deeds express</A><br>
<A NAME=166>What's like to be their words: 'we did request it;</A><br>
<A NAME=167>We are the greater poll, and in true fear</A><br>
<A NAME=168>They gave us our demands.' Thus we debase</A><br>
<A NAME=169>The nature of our seats and make the rabble</A><br>
<A NAME=170>Call our cares fears; which will in time</A><br>
<A NAME=171>Break ope the locks o' the senate and bring in</A><br>
<A NAME=172>The crows to peck the eagles.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech60><b>MENENIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=173>Come, enough.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech61><b>BRUTUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=174>Enough, with over-measure.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech62><b>CORIOLANUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=175>No, take more:</A><br>
<A NAME=176>What may be sworn by, both divine and human,</A><br>
<A NAME=177>Seal what I end withal! This double worship,</A><br>
<A NAME=178>Where one part does disdain with cause, the other</A><br>
<A NAME=179>Insult without all reason, where gentry, title, wisdom,</A><br>
<A NAME=180>Cannot conclude but by the yea and no</A><br>
<A NAME=181>Of general ignorance,--it must omit</A><br>
<A NAME=182>Real necessities, and give way the while</A><br>
<A NAME=183>To unstable slightness: purpose so barr'd,</A><br>
<A NAME=184>it follows,</A><br>
<A NAME=185>Nothing is done to purpose. Therefore, beseech you,--</A><br>
<A NAME=186>You that will be less fearful than discreet,</A><br>
<A NAME=187>That love the fundamental part of state</A><br>
<A NAME=188>More than you doubt the change on't, that prefer</A><br>
<A NAME=189>A noble life before a long, and wish</A><br>
<A NAME=190>To jump a body with a dangerous physic</A><br>
<A NAME=191>That's sure of death without it, at once pluck out</A><br>
<A NAME=192>The multitudinous tongue; let them not lick</A><br>
<A NAME=193>The sweet which is their poison: your dishonour</A><br>
<A NAME=194>Mangles true judgment and bereaves the state</A><br>
<A NAME=195>Of that integrity which should become't,</A><br>
<A NAME=196>Not having the power to do the good it would,</A><br>
<A NAME=197>For the in which doth control't.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech63><b>BRUTUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=198>Has said enough.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<A NAME=speech64><b>SICINIUS</b></a>
<blockquote>
<A NAME=199>Has spoken like a traitor, and shall answer</A><br>
<A NAME=200>As traitors do.</A><br>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
<A NAME=201>                  Thou wretch, despite o'erwhelm thee!</A><br>
<A NAME=202>What should the people do with these bald tribunes?</A><br>
<A NAME=203>On whom depending, their obedience fails</A><br>
<A NAME=204>To the greater bench: in a rebellion,</A><br>
<A NAME=205>When what's not meet, but what must be, was law,</A><br>
<A NAME=206>Then were they chosen: in a better hour,</A><br>
<A NAME=207>Let what is meet be said it must be meet,</A><br>
<A NAME=208>And throw their power i' the dust.</A><br>
