| <p><blockquote> | |
| <i>Alarum as in battle. Enter, from opposite sides, MARCIUS and AUFIDIUS</i> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech1><b>MARCIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=1>I'll fight with none but thee; for I do hate thee</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=2>Worse than a promise-breaker.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech2><b>AUFIDIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=3>We hate alike:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=4>Not Afric owns a serpent I abhor</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=5>More than thy fame and envy. Fix thy foot.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech3><b>MARCIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=6>Let the first budger die the other's slave,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>And the gods doom him after!</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech4><b>AUFIDIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=8>If I fly, Marcius,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=9>Holloa me like a hare.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech5><b>MARCIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=10>Within these three hours, Tullus,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>Alone I fought in your Corioli walls,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=12>And made what work I pleased: 'tis not my blood</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>Wherein thou seest me mask'd; for thy revenge</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=14>Wrench up thy power to the highest.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech6><b>AUFIDIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=15>Wert thou the Hector</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=16>That was the whip of your bragg'd progeny,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>Thou shouldst not scape me here.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>They fight, and certain Volsces come to the aid of AUFIDIUS. MARCIUS fights till they be driven in breathless</i></p> | |
| <A NAME=18>Officious, and not valiant, you have shamed me</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=19>In your condemned seconds.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Exeunt</i></p> | |
