Sic. Meet on the market-place. We'll attend you there:[3270]
Where, if you bring not Marcius, we'll proceed
In our first way.
Men. I'll bring him to you.[3271][3272]
[To the Senators] Let me desire your company: he must come,[3272][3273] 335
Or what is worst will follow.
First Sen. Pray you, let's to him. [Exeunt.[3274]
Scene II. A room in Coriolanus's house.
Enter Coriolanus with Patricians.[3275]
Cor. Let them pull all about mine ears; present me
Death on the wheel, or at wild horses' heels;
Or pile ten hills on the Tarpeian rock,
That the precipitation might down stretch
Below the beam of sight; yet will I still 5
Be thus to them.
A Patrician. You do the nobler.[3276]
Cor. I muse my mother[3277]
Does not approve me further, who was wont[3278]
To call them woollen vassals, things created[3279]
To buy and sell with groats, to show bare heads 10
In congregations, to yawn, be still and wonder,[3280]
When one but of my ordinance stood up
To speak of peace or war.
Enter Volumnia.
I talk of you:[3281]
Why did you wish me milder? would you have me
False to my nature? Rather say, I play[3282] 15
The man I am.[3282]
