The Tragedy of Coriolanus, II. i

Vol. On 's brows, Menenius; he comes the

third time home with the oaken garland.

Men. Has he disciplined Aufidius soundly?

Vol. Titus Lartius writes they fought together,

but Aufidius got off.

Men. And 'twas time for him too, I'll war-

rant him that: an he had stayed by him I would

not have been so fidiused for all the chests in

Corioli, and the gold that's in them. Is the

senate possessed of this?

Vol. Good ladies, let's go. Yes, yes, yes; the

senate has letters from the general, wherein he

gives my son the whole name of the war. He

hath in this action outdone his former deeds

doubly.

Val. In troth there's wondrous things spoke

of him.

Men. Wondrous! ay, I warrant you, and not

without his true purchasing.

Vir. The gods grant them true!

Vol. True! pow, wow.

Men. True! I'll be sworn they are true.

Where is he wounded? [To the Tribunes.] God

save your good worships! Martius is coming

home: he has more cause to be proud. [To

Volumnia.] Where is he wounded?

Vol. I' the shoulder, and i' the left arm: there

will be large cicatrices to show the people when

he shall stand for his place. He received in the

repulse of Tarquin seven hurts i' the body.

 139 On 's brows: i.e. not in his pocket

146 fidiused: Aufidiused, put in Aufidius' proper place

148 possessed: informed

151 name: reputation

167 stand place: seek the consulship

168 repulse of Tarquin; cf. n.
