A public place._ _Enter_ MENENIUS, _with the two Tribunes of the people_, SICINIUS, _and_ BRUTUS.[2784] _Men._ The augurer tells me we shall have news to-night.[2785] _Bru._ Good or bad? _Men._ Not according to the prayer of the people, for they love not Marcius. _Sic._ Nature teaches beasts to know their friends. 5 _Men._ Pray you, who does the wolf love?[2786] _Sic._ The lamb. _Men._ Ay, to devour him; as the hungry plebeians would the noble Marcius. _Bru._ He's a lamb indeed, that baes like a bear. 10 _Men._ He's a bear indeed, that lives like a lamb. You two are old men: tell me one thing that I shall ask you. _Both._ Well, sir. _Men._ In what enormity is Marcius poor in, that you[2787] two have not in abundance? 15 _Bru._ He's poor in no one fault, but stored with all.[2788] _Sic._ Especially in pride.[2789] _Bru._ And topping all others in boasting.[2790] _Men._ This is strange now: do you two know how you are censured here in the city, I mean of us o' the right-hand[2791] 20 file? do you? _Both._ Why, how are we censured?[2792] _Men._ Because you talk of pride now,--will you not be angry? _Both._ Well, well, sir, well. 25 _Men._ Why, 'tis no great matter; for a very little thief of occasion will rob you of a great deal of patience: give your dispositions the reins, and be angry at your pleasures; at[2793] the least, if you take it as a pleasure to you in being so. You blame Marcius for being proud?[2794] 30 _Bru._ We do it not alone, sir. _Men._ I know you can do very little alone; for your helps are many, or else your actions would grow wondrous single: your abilities are too infant-like for doing much alone. You talk of pride: O that you could turn your eyes toward the[2795] 35 napes of your necks, and make but an interior survey of your good selves! O that you could! _Both._ What then, sir?[2796]
