VALERIA。 Fie; you confine yourself most unreasonably; come; you 

       must go visit the good lady that lies in。 VIRGILIA。 I will wish her 

speedy   strength;   and   visit   her   with   my   prayers;   but   I   cannot   go   thither。 

VOLUMNIA。 Why; I  pray  you? VIRGILIA。  'Tis not to   save labour;  nor 

that I want love。 VALERIA。 You would be another Penelope; yet they say 

all the yarn she spun in Ulysses' absence did but fill Ithaca full of moths。 

Come; I would your cambric were sensible as your finger; that you might 

leave   pricking   it   for   pity。   Come;   you   shall   go   with   us。   VIRGILIA。   No; 

good madam; pardon me; indeed I will not forth。 VALERIA。 In truth; la; 

go with me; and I'll tell you excellent news of your husband。 VIRGILIA。 

O;  good   madam;   there   can   be none   yet。 VALERIA。 Verily;   I   do   not   jest 



                                             12

with    you;   there   came    news    from    him   last  night。   VIRGILIA。       Indeed; 

madam? VALERIA。 In earnest; it's true; I heard a senator speak it。 Thus it 

is: the Volsces have an army forth; against whom Cominius the general is 

gone; with one part of our Roman power。 Your lord and Titus Lartius are 

set   down   before   their   city   Corioli;   they   nothing   doubt   prevailing   and   to 

make it brief wars。 This is true; on mine honour; and so; I pray; go with us。 

VIRGILIA。 Give me excuse; good madam; I will obey you in everything 

hereafter。 VOLUMNIA。   Let   her   alone;   lady;   as   she   is   now;   she   will   but 

disease our better mirth。 VALERIA。 In troth; I think she would。 Fare you 

well;   then。   Come;   good   sweet   lady。   Prithee; Virgilia;   turn   thy  solemness 

out   o'   door   and   go   along   with   us。   VIRGILIA。   No;   at   a   word;   madam; 

indeed I must not。 I wish you much mirth。 VALERIA。 Well then; farewell。 

Exeunt

                         SCENE IV。 Before Corioli 



    Enter   MARCIUS;   TITUS   LARTIUS;             with   drum   and   colours;   with 

CAPTAINS and soldiers。 To them a MESSENGER 

       MARCIUS。 Yonder comes news; a wager… they have met。 LARTIUS。 

My     horse   to  yours…   no。   MARCIUS。        'Tis  done。   LARTIUS。       Agreed。 

MARCIUS。 Say; has our general met the enemy? MESSENGER。 They lie 

in view; but have not spoke as yet。 LARTIUS。 So; the good horse is mine。 

MARCIUS。 I'll buy him of you。 LARTIUS。 No; I'll nor sell nor give him; 

lend    you   him   I  will  For   half  a  hundred    years。   Summon      the  town。 

MARCIUS。 How far off lie these armies? MESSENGER。 Within this mile 

and half。 MARCIUS。 Then shall we hear their 'larum; and they ours。 Now; 

Mars;   I   prithee;   make   us   quick   in   work;   That   we   with   smoking   swords 

may march from hence To help our fielded friends! Come; blow thy blast。 

       They sound a parley。 Enter two SENATORS with others; on the walls 

of Corioli 

       Tullus Aufidius; is he within your walls? FIRST SENATOR。 No; nor 

a man that fears you less than he: That's lesser than a little。 'Drum afar off' 

Hark;   our   drums   Are   bringing    forth   our   youth。   We'll   break   our  walls 

Rather than they shall pound us up; our gates; Which yet seem shut; we 

have but pinn'd with rushes; They'll open of themselves。 'Alarum far off' 

Hark   you   far   off! There   is Aufidius。  List   what   work   he   makes Amongst 

your cloven army。 MARCIUS。 O; they are at it! LARTIUS。 Their noise be 

our instruction。 Ladders; ho! 

       Enter the army of the Volsces 

       MARCIUS。 They fear us not; but issue forth their city。 Now put your 

shields before your hearts; and fight With hearts more proof than shields。 

Advance;   brave   Titus。   They   do   disdain   us   much   beyond   our   thoughts; 

Which makes me sweat with wrath。 Come on; my fellows。 He that retires; 

I'll take him for a Volsce; And he shall feel mine edge。 

       Alarum。    The   Romans     are   beat  back    to  their  trenches。   Re…enter 

MARCIUS; cursing 

       MARCIUS。 All the contagion of the south light on you; You shames 

of Rome! you herd of… Boils and plagues Plaster you o'er; that you may be

abhorr'd Farther than seen; and one infect another Against the wind a mile! 

You souls of geese That bear the shapes of men; how have you run From 

slaves that   apes   would beat!  Pluto   and hell! All   hurt   behind!  Backs  red; 

and faces pale With flight and agued fear! Mend and charge home; Or; by 

the fires of heaven; I'll leave the foe And make my wars on you。 Look to't。 

Come on; If you'll stand fast we'll beat them to their wives; As they us to 

our trenches。 Follow me。 

       Another alarum。 The Volsces fly; and MARCIUS follows them to the 

gates 

       So;   now   the   gates   are   ope;   now   prove   good   seconds;   'Tis   for   the 

followers   fortune   widens   them;   Not   for   the   fliers。   Mark   me;   and   do   the 

like。 

       'MARCIUS enters the gates' 

       FIRST SOLDIER。 Fool…hardiness; not I。 SECOND SOLDIER。 Not I。 

'MARCIUS is shut in' FIRST SOLDIER。 See; they have shut him in。 ALL。 

To th' pot; I warrant him。 'Alarum continues' 

       Re…enter TITUS LARTIUS 

       LARTIUS。 What   is   become   of   Marcius? ALL。  Slain;  sir;  doubtless。 

FIRST   SOLDIER。   Following   the   fliers   at   the   very   heels;   With   them   he 

enters; who; upon the sudden; Clapp'd to their gates。 He is himself alone; 

To answer all the city。 LARTIUS。 O noble fellow! Who sensibly outdares 

his senseless sword; And when it bows stand'st up。 Thou art left; Marcius; 

A carbuncle entire; as big as thou art; Were not so rich a jewel。 Thou wast 

a soldier Even to Cato's wish; not fierce and terrible Only in strokes; but 

with thy grim looks and The thunder…like percussion of thy sounds Thou 

mad'st thine enemies shake; as if the world Were feverous and did tremble。 

       Re…enter MARCIUS; bleeding; assaulted by the enemy 

       FIRST SOLDIER。 Look; sir。 LARTIUS。 O; 'tis Marcius! Let's fetch 

him off; or make remain alike。 'They fight; and all enter the city' 



                                            15

                   SCENE V。 Within Corioli。 A street 



     Enter certain Romans; with spoils 

       FIRST ROMAN。 This will I carry to Rome。 SECOND ROMAN。 And 

I this。 THIRD ROMAN。 A murrain   on 't!   I took   this for silver。   'Alarum 

continues still afar off' 

       Enter MARCIUS and TITUS LARTIUS With a trumpeter 

       MARCIUS。   See   here   these   movers   that   do   prize   their   hours   At   a 

crack'd drachma! Cushions;  leaden spoons;  Irons of a doit; doublets   that 

hangmen would Bury with those that wore them; these base slaves; Ere yet 

the fight be done; pack up。 Down with them! Exeunt pillagers And hark; 

what noise the general makes! To him! There is the man of my soul's hate; 

Aufidius;     Piercing   our   Romans;     then;   valiant  Titus;   take  Convenient 

numbers to make good the city; Whilst I; with those that have the spirit; 

will   haste   To   help   Cominius。   LARTIUS。   Worthy   sir;   thou   bleed'st;   Thy 

exercise hath been too violent For a second course of fight。 MARCIUS。 

Sir; praise me not; My work hath yet not warm'd me。 Fare you well; The 

blood I drop is rather physical Than dangerous to me。 To Aufidius thus I 

will   appear;   and   fight。   LARTIUS。   Now   the   fair   goddess;   Fortune;   Fall 

deep    in  love   with  thee;   and   her   great  charms   Misguide   thy   opposers' 

swords! Bold gentleman; Prosperity be thy pa
