1 |
Was ever man so proud as is this CORIOLANUS? |
|
2 |
When we were chosen tribunes for the people,— |
|
3 |
Nay. but his taunts. |
|
4 |
Be-mock the modest moon. |
|
5 |
Such a nature,
|
|
6 |
Besides, if things go well,
|
|
7 |
Let's hence, and hear
|
|
8 |
Nature teaches beasts to know their friends. |
|
9 |
The lamb. |
|
10 |
Especially in pride. |
|
11 |
Menenius, you are known well enough too. |
|
12 |
On the sudden,
|
|
13 |
He cannot temperately transport his honours
|
|
14 |
Doubt not
|
|
15 |
'Tis right. |
|
16 |
I wish no better
|
|
17 |
It shall be to him then as our good wills,
|
|
18 |
This, as you say, suggested
|
|
19 |
Have with you. |
|
20 |
We are convented
|
|
21 |
Sir, the people
|
|
22 |
May they perceive's intent! He will require them,
|
|
23 |
The custom of request you have discharged:
|
|
24 |
There, Coriolanus. |
|
25 |
You may, sir. |
|
26 |
Fare you well.
|
|
27 |
How now, my masters! have you chose this man? |
|
28 |
Why, so he did, I am sure. |
|
29 |
Why either were you ignorant to see't,
|
|
30 |
Thus to have said,
|
|
31 |
Have you
|
|
32 |
Let them assemble,
|
|
33 |
Say, you chose him
|
|
34 |
One thus descended,
|
|
35 |
To the Capitol, come:
|
|
36 |
Pass no further. |
|
37 |
Stop,
|
|
38 |
You show too much of that
|
|
39 |
'Twere well
|
|
40 |
It is a mind
|
|
41 |
Has spoken like a traitor, and shall answer
|
|
42 |
This a consul? no. |
|
43 |
Go, call the people:
|
|
44 |
Help, ye citizens!
|
|
45 |
Here's he that would take from you all your power. |
|
46 |
Hear me, people; peace! |
|
47 |
You are at point to lose your liberties:
|
|
48 |
What is the city but the people? |
|
49 |
This deserves death. |
|
50 |
Therefore lay hold of him;
|
|
51 |
Where is this viper
|
|
52 |
He shall be thrown down the Tarpeian rock
|
|
53 |
Peace! |
|
54 |
Sir, how comes't that you
|
|
55 |
Consul! what consul? |
|
56 |
Speak briefly then;
|
|
57 |
He's a disease that must be cut away. |
|
58 |
This is clean kam. |
|
59 |
What do ye talk?
|
|
60 |
Noble Menenius,
|
|
61 |
Meet on the market-place. We'll attend you there:
|
|
62 |
Have you a catalogue
|
|
63 |
Have you collected them by tribes? |
|
64 |
Assemble presently the people hither;
|
|
65 |
Make them be strong and ready for this hint,
|
|
66 |
Well, here he comes.
|
|
67 |
Draw near, ye people. |
|
68 |
I do demand,
|
|
69 |
Answer to us. |
|
70 |
We charge you, that you have contrived to take
|
|
71 |
Mark you this, people? |
|
72 |
Peace!
|
|
73 |
For that he has,
|
|
74 |
He's sentenced; no more hearing. |
|
75 |
We know your drift: speak what? |
|
76 |
Go, see him out at gates, and follow him,
|
|
77 |
Bid them all home; he's gone, and we'll no further.
|
|
78 |
Bid them home:
|
|
79 |
Let's not meet her. |
|
80 |
They say she's mad. |
|
81 |
Are you mankind? |
|
82 |
O blessed heavens! |
|
83 |
What then? |
|
84 |
I would he had continued to his country
|
|
85 |
Why stay we to be baited
|
|
86 |
We hear not of him, neither need we fear him;
|
|
87 |
'Tis he,'tis he: O, he is grown most kind of late. |
|
88 |
Your Coriolanus
|
|
89 |
Where is he, hear you? |
|
90 |
God-den, our neighbours. |
|
91 |
Live, and thrive! |
|
92 |
This is a happier and more comely time
|
|
93 |
And affecting one sole throne,
|
|
94 |
We should by this, to all our lamentation,
|
|
95 |
Come, what talk you
|
|
96 |
Tell not me:
|
|
97 |
'Tis this slave;—
|
|
98 |
What more fearful? |
|
99 |
This is most likely! |
|
100 |
The very trick on't. |
|
101 |
Go, masters, get you home; be not dismay'd:
|
|
102 |
Nor I. |
|
103 |
Pray, let us go. |
|
104 |
Nay, pray, be patient: if you refuse your aid
|
|
105 |
Pray you, go to him. |
|
106 |
Yet your good will
|
|
107 |
Not? |
|
108 |
Why, what of that? |
|
109 |
Is't possible that so short a time can alter the
|
|
110 |
He loved his mother dearly. |
|
111 |
Yes, mercy, if you report him truly. |
|
112 |
The gods be good unto us! |
|
113 |
What's the news? |
|
114 |
Friend,
|
|
115 |
First, the gods bless you for your tidings; next,
|
|
116 |
They are near the city? |
|
117 |
We will meet them,
