Dol. [Struggling.] Hold on, Captain! Let me go; it’s me!
Corio. Let’s hang the rebel to a tree, Captain! He’s a spy!
Dol. I tell you, Captain, it’s me—don’t you hear me?

Dol. [Struggling.] Oh!
Hen. I’ll tell you what we’ll do! We will give him a sound switching first. Then we’ll hang him for a spy.
Corio. [Eagerly.] Let me do the switching, Captain. [Gets switch, L. 3 E. Aside.] I’ll give it him hot!
Dol. Oh, Lord! I shall die! [Coriolanus returns.]
