MARTIUS See here these movers that do prize their hours
5 At a crack’d drachm! Cushions, leaden spoons,
Irons of a doit, doublets that hangmen would
Bury with those that wore them, these base slaves,
Ere yet the fight be done, pack up: down with them!
And hark, what noise the general makes! To him!
10 There is the man of my soul’s hate, Aufidius,
Piercing our Romans: then, valiant Titus, take
Convenient numbers to make good the city;
Whilst I, with those that have the spirit, will haste
To help Cominius.

LARTIUS 15 Worthy sir, thou bleed’st;
Thy exercise hath been too violent for
A second course of fight.

MARTIUS Sir, praise me not;
My work hath yet not warm’d me: fare you well:
20 The blood I drop is rather physical
Than dangerous to me: to Aufidius thus
I will appear, and fight.

Fall deep in love with thee; and her great charms
25 Misguide thy opposers’ swords! Bold gentleman,
Prosperity be thy page!
