Sic. Make them be strong, and ready for this hint. When we shall hap to give't them.
Bru. Go about it.
[Exit Ædile.]
Put him to choler straight. He hath been used
Ever to conquer, and to have his worth
Of contradiction. Being once chafed, he cannot
Be rein'd again to temperance; then he speaks
What's in his heart; and that is there, which looks
With me to break his neck. [Prophecy—inductive.]
Well, here he comes.
Enter CORIOLANUS, and his party.
Men. Calmly, I do beseech you.
Cor. Ay, as an ostler, that for the poorest piece Will bear the knave by the volume. The honour'd gods Keep Rome in safety, and the CHAIRS of JUSTICE Supplied with WORTHY MEN! plant LOVE among us. Throng OUR LARGE TEMPLES with the shows of PEACE, And not our STREETS with WAR.
First Sen. Amen, Amen! [Hear, Hear!]
Men. A NOBLE wish.
Re-enter Ædile with Citizens.
