| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=11>On safe-guard he came to me; and did curse</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=42>Are these your herd?</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=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=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=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=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> | |

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

| </blockquote> | |

| <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=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=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> | |

| <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> | |
