believe thy deeds; but I'll report it Where senators shall mingle tears with 

smiles; Where great   patricians shall   attend;  and shrug;  I'   th'   end   admire; 

where   ladies   shall   be   frighted And;  gladly  quak'd;  hear   more;   where   the 

dull tribunes; That with the fusty plebeians hate thine honours; Shall say 

against their hearts 'We thank the gods Our Rome hath such a soldier。' Yet 

cam'st thou to a morsel of this feast; Having fully din'd before。 

       Enter TITUS LARTIUS; with his power; from the pursuit 

       LARTIUS。   O   General;   Here   is   the   steed;   we   the   caparison。   Hadst 

thou   beheld…   MARCIUS。   Pray   now;   no   more;   my   mother;   Who   has   a 

charter to   extol   her blood; When   she does   praise   me   grieves   me。  I  have 

done As you have done… that's what I can; induc'd As you have been… that's 

for my country。 He that has but effected his good will Hath overta'en mine 

act。   COMINIUS。   You   shall   not   be   The   grave   of   your   deserving;   Rome 

must know The value of her own。 'Twere a concealment Worse than a theft; 

no less than a traducement; To hide your doings and to silence that Which; 

to the spire and top of praises vouch'd; Would seem but modest。 Therefore; 

I beseech you; In sign of what you are; not to reward What you have done; 

before our army hear me。 MARCIUS。 I have some wounds upon me; and 

they smart To hear themselves rememb'red。 COMINIUS。 Should they not; 

Well might they fester 'gainst ingratitude And tent themselves with death。 

Of all the horses… Whereof we have ta'en good; and good store… of all The 

treasure in this field achiev'd and city; We render you the tenth; to be ta'en 

forth Before the common distribution at Your only choice。 MARCIUS。 I 

thank you; General; But cannot make my heart consent to take A bribe to 

pay my sword。 I do refuse it; And stand upon my common part with those 

That have beheld the doing。 

       A  long   flourish。 They  all   cry  'Marcius;   Marcius!'   cast   up   their   caps 

and lances。 COMINIUS and LARTIUS stand bare 

       May these same instruments which you profane Never sound more!

When drums and trumpets shall I' th' field prove flatterers; let courts and 

cities   be   Made   all   of   false…fac'd   soothing。 When   steel   grows   Soft   as   the 

parasite's silk; let him be made An overture for th' wars。 No more; I say。 

For that I have not wash'd my nose that bled; Or foil'd some debile wretch; 

which   without   note   Here's   many   else   have   done;   you   shout   me   forth   In 

acclamations   hyperbolical;   As   if   I   lov'd   my   little   should   be   dieted   In 

praises sauc'd with lies。 COMINIUS。 Too modest are you; More cruel to 

your good report than grateful To us that give you truly。 By your patience; 

If 'gainst yourself you be incens'd; we'll put you… Like one that means his 

proper   harm…   in   manacles; Then   reason   safely  with   you。 Therefore   be   it 

known; As   to   us;   to   all   the   world;   that   Caius   Marcius   Wears   this   war's 

garland; in token of the which; My noble steed; known to the camp; I give 

him;   With   all   his   trim   belonging;   and   from   this   time;   For   what   he   did 

before   Corioli;   call   him   With   all   th'   applause…and   clamour   of   the   host; 

Caius      Marcius     Coriolanus。      Bear    th'  addition     nobly    ever!    'Flourish。 

Trumpets        sound;      and    drums'      ALL。       Caius     Marcius      Coriolanus! 

CORIOLANUS。   I   will   go   wash;   And   when   my   face   is   fair   you   shall 

perceive Whether   I   blush   or   no。   Howbeit;   I   thank   you;   I   mean   to   stride 

your    steed;   and    at  all  times   To   undercrest     your   good    addition    To   th' 

fairness   of   my   power。   COMINIUS。   So;   to   our   tent;   Where;   ere   we   do 

repose us; we will write To Rome of our success。 You; Titus Lartius; Must 

to Corioli back。 Send us to Rome The best; with whom we may articulate 

For their own good and ours。 LARTIUS。 I shall; my lord。 CORIOLANUS。 

The gods begin to mock me。 I; that now Refus'd most princely gifts; am 

bound to beg   Of my  Lord General。  COMINIUS。 Take't…   'tis yours;  what 

is't? CORIOLANUS。 I sometime lay here in Corioli At a poor man's house; 

he us'd me kindly。 He cried to me; I saw him prisoner; But then Aufidius 

was   within   my   view; And   wrath   o'erwhelm'd   my   pity。   I   request   you   To 

give   my   poor   host   freedom。   COMINIUS。   O;   well   begg'd!   Were   he   the 

butcher of my son; he should Be free as is the wind。 Deliver him; Titus。 

LARTIUS。 Marcius; his name? CORIOLANUS。 By Jupiter; forgot! I am 

weary; yea; my memory is tir'd。 Have we no wine here? COMINIUS。 Go 

we   to   our   tent。 The   blood   upon   your   visage   dries;   'tis   time   It   should   be 

look'd to。 Come。 Exeunt

                 SCENE X。 The camp of the Volsces 



    A  flourish。   Cornets。   Enter TULLUS AUFIDIUS   bloody;   with   two   or 

three soldiers 

      AUFIDIUS。 The town is ta'en。 FIRST SOLDIER。 'Twill be deliver'd 

back on good condition。 AUFIDIUS。 Condition! I would I were a Roman; 

for I cannot; Being a Volsce; be that I am。 Condition? What good condition 

can a treaty find I' th' part that is at mercy? Five times; Marcius; I have 

fought with thee; so often hast thou beat me; And wouldst do so; I think; 

should we encounter As often as we eat。 By th' elements; If e'er again   I 

meet him beard to beard; He's mine or I am his。 Mine emulation Hath not 

that honour in't it had; for where I thought to crush him in an equal force; 

True sword to sword; I'll potch at him some way; Or wrath or craft may get 

him。 FIRST SOLDIER。 He's the devil。 AUFIDIUS。 Bolder; though not so 

subtle。   My   valour's   poison'd   With   only   suff'ring   stain   by   him;   for   him 

Shall fly out of itself。 Nor sleep nor sanctuary; Being naked; sick; nor fane 

nor Capitol; The prayers of priests nor times of sacrifice; Embarquements 

all of fury; shall lift up Their rotten privilege and custom 'gainst My hate 

to Marcius。 Where I find him; were it At home; upon my brother's guard; 

even   there; Against   the   hospitable   canon;   would   I   Wash   my   fierce   hand 

in's heart。 Go you to th' city; Learn how 'tis held; and what they are that 

must    Be   hostages    for  Rome。    FIRST    SOLDIER。       Will  not   you   go? 

AUFIDIUS。 I am attended at the cypress grove; I pray you… 'Tis south the 

city mills… bring me word thither How the world goes; that to the pace of it 

I may spur on my journey。 FIRST SOLDIER。 I shall; sir。 Exeunt
