Sec. Cit. Would you proceed especially against Caius
Marcius?[2465]
All. Against him first: he's a very dog to the[2466] 25
commonalty.
Sec. Cit. Consider you what services he has done for
his country?
First Cit. Very well; and could be content to give him
good report for't, but that he pays himself with being proud. 30
Sec. Cit. Nay, but speak not maliciously.[2467]
First Cit. I say unto you, what he hath done famously,
he did it to that end: though soft-conscienced men can be
content to say it was for his country, he did it to please his[2468]
mother and to be partly proud; which he is, even to the[2469] 35
altitude of his virtue.
Sec. 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. 40
[Shouts within.] What shouts are these? The other side o'[2470][2471]
the city is risen: why stay we prating here? to the Capitol!
All. Come, come.
First Cit. Soft! who comes here?
