First Cit. Very well, and could be content to give him good report for'it, but that he pays himself with being proud.

Second Cit. What he cannot help IN HIS NATURE, you account a vice in him. You must in no way say he is covetous.
First Cit. If I must not, I need not be barren of accusations; he hath faults with surplus to tire in repetition. [Shouts within.] What shouts are these? The other side o' the city is risen. Why stay we prating here? To the Capitol!
Cit. Come, come.
First Cit. Soft; who comes here?
[Enter Menenius Agrippa.]
Second Cit. Worthy Menenius Agrippa, one that hath always loved the people.
