_2. Sen._ "Weapons, weapons," etc. So the speech is given in the folio. In the Globe Shakespeare it is given _Senators, etc._, and what follows as the discordant cries of the various parties, which certainly seems to be more effective. * * * * * "Come, try upon yourselves what you have seen me _do_." * * * * * "Lay hands upon him.--Help Marcius, help, _help_!" * * * * * _Com._ "Stand fast We have as many friends as enemies." I think this should be _Cor._, and I have so given it. * * * * * _Cor._ "Come, sir, along with us." This speech evidently belongs to _Com._ * * * * * "Leave us to cure this cause.--For 'tis a sore upon us, You cannot tent yourself." I think we should either omit 'upon us,' or for 'us' read _you_. * * * * * _Cor._ "I would they were barbarians, as they are, Though in Rome litter'd, not Romans, as they are not, Though calv'd in the porch o' the Capitol!... _Men._ Begone, Put not your worthy rage into your tongue." So, I think judiciously, Tyrwhitt arranges, and he has been generally and properly followed. The folio gives the whole to Menenius, to whom it is not at all suited. * * * * * "Or Jove for 's power to thunder. His heart 's his mouth." I would read '_in_ his mouth.' "My voice is in my sword" (Macb. v. 7). "He wears his tongue in his arms" (Tr. and Cress. iii. 3). * * * * * "To eject him hence Were but one danger, and to keep him here Our certain death." I read _our_ for 'one,' as Theobald also proposed. In Ant. and Cleop. (i. 4) we have "_One_ great competitor," where the sense demands _our_; and in Son. xcix. "_Our_ blushing shame," where editors read, as sense requires, _One_. * * * * * "Form [in peace] to his utmost peril." I omit 'in peace,' as it had just occurred, is needless, and disturbs the metre. * * * * * SC. 2. "I talk of you." Here Collier's folio places the entrance of Volumnia, and I think rightly. * * * * * "O sir, sir, sir!" The _son, son, son!_ of Collier's folio is much better. She never elsewhere says _Sir_ to him. See on Meas. for Meas. iii. 1. * * * * * "The thwartings of your dispositions." 'Thwartings' is the emendation of Theobald for _things_ of the folio. * * * * * "I have a heart as little apt as yours, But yet a brain," etc.
