_Bru._ Go about it. [_Exit Ædile._[3356] Put him to choler straight: he hath been used 25 Ever to conquer and to have his worth[3357][3358][3359] Of contradiction: being once chafed, he cannot[3358] Be rein'd again to temperance; then he speaks What's in his heart; and that is there which looks[3360] With us to break his neck. _Sic._ Well, here he comes. 30 _Enter_ CORIOLANUS, MENENIUS, _and_ COMINIUS, _with_ Senators _and_ Patricians.[3361] _Men._ Calmly, I do beseech you. _Cor._ Ay, as an ostler, that for the poorest piece[3362] Will bear the knave by the volume. The honour'd gods[3363][3364] Keep Rome in safety, and the chairs of justice[3364] Supplied with worthy men! plant love among's![3364][3365] 35 Throng our large temples with the shows of peace,[3364][3366] And not our streets with war![3364] _First Sen._ Amen, amen. _Men._ A noble wish. _Re-enter_ Ædile, _with_ Citizens.[3367] _Sic._ Draw near, ye people. _Æd._ List to your tribunes; audience: peace, I say![3368] 40 _Cor._ First, hear me speak. _Both Tri._ Well, say. Peace, ho![3369] _Cor._ Shall I be charged no further than this present? Must all determine here? _Sic._ I do demand, If you submit you to the people's voices, Allow their officers, and are content 45 To suffer lawful censure for such faults As shall be proved upon you? _Cor._ I am content. _Men._ Lo, citizens, he says he is content: The warlike service he has done, consider; think[3370] Upon the wounds his body bears, which show[3370] 50 Like graves i' the holy churchyard.[3371] _Cor._ Scratches with briers,[3372] Scars to move laughter only.[3372] _Men._ Consider further, That when he speaks not like a citizen, You find him like a soldier: do not take His rougher accents for malicious sounds,[3373] 55 But, as I say, such as become a soldier Rather than envy you. _Com._ Well, well, no more.[3374] _Cor._ What is the matter[3375] That being pass'd for consul with full voice, I am so dishonour'd that the very hour[3376] 60 You take it off again? _Sic._ Answer to us. _Cor._ Say, then: 'tis true, I ought so. _Sic._ We charge you, that you have contrived to take From Rome all season'd office and to wind Yourself into a power tyrannical;[3377] 65 For which you are a traitor to the people. _Cor._ How! traitor! _Men._ Nay, temperately; your promise.
