Sic. Go, call the people; [Exit Ædile.] in whose name, myself

Attach thee as a traitorous innovator,

A foe to the public weal: obey, I charge thee,

And follow to thine answer.

Cor. Hence, old goat!

All. We'll surety him.

Com. Ag'd sir, hands off.

Cor. Hence, rotten thing! or I shall shake thy bones

Out of thy garments.

Sic. Help, ye citizens!

Men. On both sides more respect.

Sic. Here's he that would take from you all your power.

Bru. Seize him, ædiles!

All. Down with him!—down with him!—

2. Sen. Weapons!—weapons!—weapons!—

Tribunes!—patricians!—citizens!—What ho!—

Sicinius!—Brutus!—Coriolanus!—Citizens!

All. Peace!—Peace!—Peace!—Stay!—Hold!—Peace!

Men. What is about to be?—I am out of breath;

Confusion's near; I cannot speak. You, tribunes

To the people! Coriolanus, patience!

Speak, good Sicinius.

Sic. Hear me, people; peace!

All. Let's hear our tribune:—Peace!— Speak, speak, speak.
