And presently, when you have drawn your number,

Repair to the Capitol.

All. We will so; almost all

Repent in their election.

Bru. Let them go on;

Than stay, past doubt, for greater.

If, as his nature is, he fall in rage

With their refusal, both observe and answer

The vantage of his anger.

Sic. To the Capitol, come:

We will be there before the stream o' the people;

And this shall seem, as partly 'tis, their own,

Which we have goaded onward.

 

Cor. Tullus Aufidius then had made new head?

Lart. He had, my lord; and that it was which caus'd

Our swifter composition.

Cor. So then the Volsces stand but as at first,

Ready, when time shall prompt them, to make road

Upon 's again.

Com. They are worn, lord consul, so,

 261 drawn number: collected a sufficient number

263 Repent in: repent of

264 put in hazard: risked

265 stay: greater: that we should wait for a greater, inevitable hazard

267, 268 answer vantage: make use  1 made new head: raised a new army

3 composition: coming to terms

5 road: an inroad, raid
