FIRST CITIZEN.
Ourselves, our wives, and children, on our knees
Are bound to pray for you both.
SICINIUS.
Live and thrive!
BRUTUS.
Farewell, kind neighbours. We wished Coriolanus
Had loved you as we did.
CITIZENS.
Now the gods keep you!
BOTH TRIBUNES.
Farewell, farewell.
[Exeunt Citizens.]
SICINIUS.
This is a happier and more comely time
Than when these fellows ran about the streets
Crying confusion.
BRUTUS.
Caius Martius was
A worthy officer i’ th’ war, but insolent,
O’ercome with pride, ambitious, past all thinking
Self-loving.
SICINIUS.
And affecting one sole throne, without assistance.
MENENIUS.
I think not so.
