First Sen. Behold our patroness, the life of Rome![3863]
Call all your tribes together, praise the gods,[3864]
And make triumphant fires; strew flowers before them:[3865]
Unshout the noise that banish'd Marcius,[3866]
Repeal him with the welcome of his mother; 5
Cry 'Welcome, ladies, welcome!'
All. Welcome, ladies,[3867]
Welcome! [A flourish with drums and trumpets. Exeunt.[3867][3868]
Scene VI. Antium. A public place.[3869]
Enter Tullus Aufidius, with Attendants.
Auf. Go tell the lords o' the city I am here:[3870]
Deliver them this paper: having read it,
Bid them repair to the market-place, where I,
Even in theirs and in the commons' ears,
Will vouch the truth of it. Him I accuse[3871] 5
The city ports by this hath enter'd, and
Intends to appear before the people, hoping
To purge himself with words: dispatch. [Exeunt Attendants.[3872]
Enter three or four Conspirators of Aufidius' faction.
Most welcome!
First Con. How is it with our general?
Auf. Even so[3873] 10
As with a man by his own alms empoison'd,[3873]
And with his charity slain.[3873]
Sec. Con. Most noble sir,[3874]
If you do hold the same intent wherein[3874]
You wish'd us parties, we'll deliver you[3874]
Of your great danger.
