_Sic._ Let them assemble;[3085] 210 And, on a safer judgement, all revoke[3085][3086] Your ignorant election: enforce his pride[3085][3086] And his old hate unto you: besides, forget not[3086][3087] With what contempt he wore the humble weed, How in his suit he scorn'd you: but your loves, 215 Thinking upon his services, took from you The apprehension of his present portance, Which most gibingly, ungravely, he did fashion[3088] After the inveterate hate he bears you.[3089] _Bru._ Lay[3090][3091][3092] A fault on us, your tribunes; that we labour'd,[3090] 220 No impediment between, but that you must[3090] Cast your election on him.[3090] _Sic._ Say, you chose him[3090] More after our commandment than as guided[3090][3092] By your own true affections; and that your minds,[3090][3092] Pre-occupied with what you rather must do[3090] 225 Than what you should, made you against the grain[3090][3092][3093] To voice him consul: lay the fault on us.[3090] _Bru._ Ay, spare us not. Say we read lectures to you, How youngly he began to serve his country, How long continued; and what stock he springs of, 230 The noble house o' the Marcians, from whence came[3094] That Ancus Marcius, Numa's daughter's son, Who, after great Hostilius, here was king; Of the same house Publius and Quintus were, That our best water brought by conduits hither;[3095] 235 And [Censorinus] nobly named so,[3095] Twice being [by the people chosen] censor,[3095] Was his great ancestor.[3095] _Sic._ One thus descended, That hath beside well in his person wrought[3096] To be set high in place, we did commend 240 To your remembrances: but you have found, Scaling his present bearing with his past,[3097] That he's your fixed enemy, and revoke Your sudden approbation. _Bru._ Say, you ne'er had done't--[3098] Harp on that still--but by our putting on: 245 And presently, when you have drawn your number, Repair to the Capitol. _Citizens._ We will so: almost all[3099][3100] Repent in their election. [_Exeunt Citizens._[3099] _Bru._ Let them go on;[3101] This mutiny were better put in hazard, Than stay, past doubt, for greater: 250 If, as his nature is, he fall in rage With their refusal, both observe and answer The vantage of his anger.
