MENENIUS.
Has he disciplined Aufidius soundly?
VOLUMNIA.
Titus Lartius writes they fought together, but Aufidius got off.
MENENIUS.
And ’twas time for him too, I’ll warrant him that. An he had stayed by him, I would not have been so ’fidiused for all the chests in Corioles and the gold that’s in them. Is the Senate possessed of this?
VOLUMNIA.
Good ladies, let’s go.—Yes, yes, yes. The Senate has letters from the General, wherein he gives my son the whole name of the war. He hath in this action outdone his former deeds doubly.
VALERIA.
In troth, there’s wondrous things spoke of him.
MENENIUS.
Wondrous? Ay, I warrant you, and not without his true purchasing.
VIRGILIA.
The gods grant them true.
VOLUMNIA.
True? Pow, waw!
MENENIUS.
True? I’ll be sworn they are true. Where is he wounded? [To the Tribunes.] God save your good Worships! Martius is coming home; he has more cause to be proud.—Where is he wounded?
VOLUMNIA.
I’ th’ shoulder and i’ th’ left arm. There will be large cicatrices to show the people when he shall stand for his place. He received in the repulse of Tarquin seven hurts i’ th’ body.
