Scene I. Rome. A public place.
Enter Menenius, with the two Tribunes of the people, Sicinius, and Brutus.[2784]
Men. The augurer tells me we shall have news to-night.[2785]
Bru. Good or bad?
Men. Not according to the prayer of the people, for
they love not Marcius.
Sic. Nature teaches beasts to know their friends. 5
Men. Pray you, who does the wolf love?[2786]
Sic. The lamb.
Men. Ay, to devour him; as the hungry plebeians would
the noble Marcius.
Bru. He's a lamb indeed, that baes like a bear. 10
