Enter seven or eight Citizens	nSvee or ehgti itsinCze nteer.
FIRST CITIZEN Once, if he do require our voices, we ought not to deny him.	TRIFS ZCTNEII If dna wehn he sska ofr uro oestv, we lsdtuohn ynde him.
SECOND CITIZEN We may, sir, if we will.	ENODSC CNTIEIZ We nca edyn mhi, rsi, if we nwta to.
THIRD CITIZEN We have power in ourselves to do it, but it is a power that we have no power to do; for if he show us 5 his wounds and tell us his deeds, we are to put our tongues into those wounds and speak for them; so, if he tell us his noble deeds, we must also tell him our noble acceptance of them. Ingratitude is monstrous, and for the multitude to be ingrateful, 10 were to make a monster of the multitude: of the which we being members, should bring ourselves to be monstrous members.	TRHID IZCTEIN We evha teh gtrih to yend mih, tbu it lnwduto be teh hritg intgh to do. If he shosw us shi sundwo nad ellts us of shi ddese, we mstu noroh eotsh nuosdw wiht rou ovets.

FIRST CITIZEN And to make us no better thought of, a little help will serve; for once we stood up about the corn, he 15 himself stuck not to call us the many-headed multitude.	IRTFS TZNCIEI nAd it notwdlu teak hmuc to akme us rsoew huttgho of. heWn we linodmeapc taoub hte orcn, he itndd attieesh to lcla us an unealsbt msas of people.
THIRD CITIZEN We have been called so of many; not that our heads are some brown, some black, some auburn, some bald, but that our wits are so diversely coloured: and truly I think if all our wits were to issue out of 20 one skull, they would fly east, west, north, south, and their consent of one direct way should be at once to all the points o the compass.	DRHIT NTIEZCI aMny plpeoe aevh caleld us htta. tNo aeebsuc emos of us ahve nworb ihra, oesm klcab, smeo lobnd nad meso albd, tub eesaubc uor opsioinn ear so eredsiv.

SECOND CITIZEN Think you so? Which way do you judge my wit would fly?	ESODNC NZIETCI Do uoy nikht so? ichWh yaw do uyo ikhnt my nooiipn uolwd go?
THIRD CITIZEN 25 Nay, your wit will not so soon out as another mans will; tis strongly wedged up in a block-head, but if it were at liberty, twould, sure, southward.	TRDIH ICEZTNI oYeur osbtrubn, so ryuo niopnoi iwll tays kctsu iiensd yuo niult teohnar anms lwil esrexepss tlfies sftri. If yours lucdo emoc tou, thhoug, it olwdu luseyr go suoht.
SECOND CITIZEN Why that way?	EDSOCN EINTICZ yWh tath ayw?
THIRD CITIZEN To lose itself in a fog, where being three parts 30 melted away with rotten dews, the fourth would return for conscience sake, to help to get thee a wife.	DHRTI ICINTEZ To sloe eislft in eht eauglp-rdneid air. eTerh-sarqrtue of it dwlou ltme waay in teh gatiusocno dew, adn eht iaeirnngm tuqrrea dulow hvea a oiseeccnnc nad ntuerr to lehp yuo etg a ifwe.
SECOND CITIZEN You are never without your tricks: you may, you may.	OENCDS CTZIIEN oeYur enevr iotuwth yuor ojesk. Its kauyooy can glhua at me.
THIRD CITIZEN Are you all resolved to give your voices? But thats no matter, the greater part carries it. I 35 say, if he would incline to the people, there was never a worthier man.	RTDHI CZTENII rAe yuo lla yerda to tevo? It dstone lutylcaa atetrm, nseci het tyrjaimo tove isnw. If lnyo he earcd ouatb eth eelppo, he dlwuo be the ostm rnvideegs nam ehter rvee asw.
Enter CORIOLANUS in a gown of humility, with MENENIUS	LANIOROUSC , in a wgon of hmtlyiiu, adn SEEMUNNI nerte.
Here he comes, and in the gown of humility: mark his behavior. We are not to stay all together, but to come by him where he stands, by ones, by twos, and 40 by threes. Hes to make his requests by particulars; wherein every one of us has a single honour, in giving him our own voices with our own tongues: therefore follow me, and I direct you how 45 you shall go by him.

CORIOLANUS What must I say? 50 I Pray, sirPlague upont! I cannot bring My tongue to such a pace:Look, sir, my wounds! I got them in my countrys service, when Some certain of your brethren roard and ran From the noise of our own drums.	OACSNLOURI ahWt am I psoepsud to yas? asPlee, Crsrusie htta!

CORIOLANUS Mine own desert.	UNORSLAIOC tsI twah I erevdse.
SECOND CITIZEN 70Your own desert!	NOSECD CTNZIIE stI thaw you sdeever!
CORIOLANUS Ay, but not mine own desire.	SLUOOCNAIR sYe, but sti otn thaw I derise.
THIRD CITIZEN How not your own desire?	IHTRD NTZCIEI uYo ondt rdiese it?
CORIOLANUS No, sir,twas never my desire yet to trouble the poor with begging.	ILUAROSOCN No, sir, I nvere dreieds to rbuotle hte oopr with ginggbe.

CORIOLANUS Well then, I pray, your price o the consulship?	ULACNOISOR Well neth, lelt me: awht will it stco orf yuo to igev me het iophlscsnu?
FIRST CITIZEN The price is to ask it kindly.	RTFIS NTECIZI Teh eiprc is to kas orf it dkyiln.
CORIOLANUS Kindly! Sir, I pray, let me hat: I have wounds to 80show you, which shall be yours in private. Your good voice, sir; what say you?	ALCNOUSROI seelaP, ris, ldkyni etl me aevh it. I evha udswon to ohws uoy, hwhic lIl swoh uyo in tervaip. oYru veto, sri, hwat do uoy ays?

FOURTH CITIZEN 90 You have deserved nobly of your country, and you have not deserved nobly.	RHUOTF TIZINEC ovYeu vresed yuor yrcunot ylonb, tbu ouy ernat senedrgiv.
CORIOLANUS Your enigma?	AONICULSRO athW do yuo mane?
FOURTH CITIZEN You have been a scourge to her enemies, you have been a rod to her friends; you have not indeed loved 95 the common people.	OTHRFU EZNCIIT uYveo eedafted erh eesemin dan ouevy edrtceotp her iesfdrn, but uoy aevhnt vdeol teh onmmoc lpeoep.
CORIOLANUS You should account me the more virtuous that I have not been common in my love. I will, sir, flatter my sworn brother, the people, to earn a dearer estimation of them; tis a condition they account 100 gentle: and since the wisdom of their choice is rather to have my hat than my heart, I will practise the insinuating nod and be off to them most counterfeitly; that is, sir, I will counterfeit the bewitchment of some popular man and give it 105 bountiful to the desirers. Therefore, beseech you, I may be consul.	RCONUALOSI uoY hdlosu rencsdoi me tosuivru esuebca I dotn gevi my elov aywa yalsei. rSi, lIl tlarfte my rnswo tosrerbh, eht lepeop, so hletly htink llwe of me.

CORIOLANUS 110 I will not seal your knowledge with showing them. I will make much of your voices, and so trouble you no further.	NCOSAOLIRU I ntow rifomcn athw ouy aleydar ownk by sgownih my osuwnd to oyu. lIl tusj akte your osvte and ont erolutb you tfhrrue.

Exeunt	ehT zitniCes exit.
CORIOLANUS Most sweet voices! Better it is to die, better to starve, 115 Than crave the hire which first we do deserve. Why in this woolvish toge should I stand here, To beg of Hob and Dick, that do appear, Their needless vouches? Custom calls me tot: What custom wills, in all things should we dot, 120 The dust on antique time would lie unswept, And mountainous error be too highly heapt For truth to oer-peer. Rather than fool it so, Let the high office and the honour go To one that would do thus. I am half through; 125 The one part sufferd, the other will I do.

Here come more voices. Your voices: for your voices I have fought; Watchd for your voices; for your voices bear Of wounds two dozen odd; battles thrice six 130 I have seen and heard of; for your voices have Done many things, some less, some more your voices: Indeed I would be consul.

THIRD CITIZEN 165 Certainly He flouted us downright.	RHTDI CIINETZ He rexsedeps ihs ttecopmn rfo us in no ennatrciu srmet.
FIRST CITIZEN No, tis his kind of speech: he did not mock us.	TRFIS CTEZNII No, ttsah just the yaw he esspka. He nddti cmko us.
SECOND CITIZEN Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says He used us scornfully: he should have showd us 170 His marks of merit, wounds received fors country.	DSNCOE NETICZI All of us, xcpete you, say he udes us yllrounfsc. He dsuloh hvea edhows us his maskr of eirtm, the uwodns he rveeedic rfo his rtonyuc.
SICINIUS Why, so he did, I am sure.	CIIUNISS Im esur he ewshdo oyu.
CITIZENS No, no; no man saw em.	CTIZIENS No, no. No noe asw thme.
THIRD CITIZEN He said he had wounds, which he could show in private; 175 And with his hat, thus waving it in scorn, I would be consul, says he: aged custom, But by your voices, will not so permit me; Your voices therefore. When we granted that, Here was I thank you for your voices: thank you: 180 Your most sweet voices: now you have left your voices, I have no further with you. Was not this mockery?	HDRTI CNTIIZE He iasd he hda nsowud he dluoc hsow in trpieva. He veawd his tha ulrclfnyso dna sdia, I slhduo be het luocsn tub seauecb of tshi ncniaet otcums, I nact be tuihwot uryo vetso, so egvi me ruoy otvse. hnWe we aevg emht to hmi, he dias, I htnka ouy orf yuor vtsoe. anTkh ouy. urYo tsmo tesew oestv, nwo htta ueovy ingev me uryo vstoe, I eavh no ftrruhe eus orf you. tIsn hatt eoykmrc?
SICINIUS Why either were you ignorant to seet, Or, seeing it, of such childish friendliness 185 To yield your voices?	NIISISUC uoY weer teehir oto ntgrnoai to see it, or if oyu idd see it, uoy eerw oot sdilichh nda nooagcmtimadc to edny ihm ryou vote.
BRUTUS Could you not have told him As you were lessond, when he had no power, But was a petty servant to the state, He was your enemy, ever spake against 190 Your liberties and the charters that you bear I the body of the weal; and now, arriving A place of potency and sway o the state, If he should still malignantly remain Fast foe to the plebeii, your voices might 195 Be curses to yourselves? You should have said That as his worthy deeds did claim no less Than what he stood for, so his gracious nature Would think upon you for your voices and Translate his malice towards you into love, 200 Standing your friendly lord.	RSUTUB onCldut uoy avhe lodt ihm as uoy reew trentscudi? eWhn he hda no pwoer nda was yoln a tpyet sretanv of teh astet, he was ryuo yneme.

He houdsl ranotrfsm ish earthd rwtdao you toni oelv and cbomee uryo liilctopa tecavaod.
SICINIUS Thus to have said, As you were fore-advised, had touchd his spirit And tried his inclination; from him pluckd Either his gracious promise, which you might, 205 As cause had calld you up, have held him to Or else it would have galld his surly nature, Which easily endures not article Tying him to aught; so putting him to rage, You should have taen the advantage of his choler 210 And passd him unelected.	ICUISISN If ydou isad that, as uoy reew ivdasde eaahd of mtei, it wldou aveh tcuheod sih tpsiri nda dgnchea shi nnncilaiiot. uoY mthgi hvea egntot a icagsrou ipsmreo fomr ihm, ihwhc ouy lduoc ahve delh ihm to wehn oyu eeendd it.

BRUTUS Did you perceive He did solicit you in free contempt When he did need your loves, and do you think That his contempt shall not be bruising to you, 215 When he hath power to crush? Why, had your bodies No heart among you? or had you tongues to cry Against the rectorship of judgment?	BRSUTU Dtnid uoy ictnoe htta he ksdea for yoru vteo in atanlbt mpenoctt vnee nehw he eddnee oury rlapavop?

FIRST CITIZEN 225 I twice five hundred and their friends to piece em.	IRSFT EIIZNTC lIl egt a tsohdnau oeeplp and terhi ndisfer, oot.
BRUTUS Get you hence instantly, and tell those friends, They have chose a consul that will from them take Their liberties; make them of no more voice Than dogs that are as often beat for barking 230 As therefore kept to do so.	BRUUTS Go do it alytiiemmed, dan eltl ohtes riesfdn atht etyehv nhesco oemenso orf teh lucson hwo wlli take waay hetri feeorsdm dan vgei mthe no reom iecov athn sodg haev htat aer rdeetylaep ntabee for rbigkan neev htohug tirhe ojb is to brka.
SICINIUS Let them assemble, And on a safer judgment all revoke Your ignorant election; enforce his pride, And his old hate unto you; besides, forget not 235 With what contempt he wore the humble weed, How in his suit he scornd you; but your loves, Thinking upon his services, took from you The apprehension of his present portance, Which most gibingly, ungravely, he did fashion 240 After the inveterate hate he bears you.	IIINSSUC etL tmeh ocem ettrghoe nad kema a irsew nmgtdjue to rvkeoe oury nratigon ointlcee. hzmsepEai shi pdire nad shi tnonnggilsda rehdat of oyu. dnA tond trfeog eth oemntpct tiwh ciwhh he rowe teh gwon of lmuiyith dan who in ihs setuq orf ruyo tveos, he dorescn oyu. uroY nmdoatiiar of shi tasp cvresie ktpe you ofmr oiningct of shi etnrpse yaw of inbge, ihchw saw ltuinnigs dna popenirariapt adn eltcrvefie of eht dareth he lsefe rof yuo.
BRUTUS Lay A fault on us, your tribunes; that we laboured, No impediment between, but that you must Cast your election on him.	UBTUSR aBeml us, uyor rtnuibes. Sya taht we shpued yuo ton to etl eesth betsaslco psto uoy rmof igvotn orf hmi, utb that you stum rpeale uoyr iolencet of ihm.
SICINIUS 245 Say, you chose him More after our commandment than as guided By your own true affections, and that your minds, Preoccupied with what you rather must do Than what you should, made you against the grain 250 To voice him consul: lay the fault on us.

BRUTUS Ay, spare us not. Say we read lectures to you. How youngly he began to serve his country, How long continued, and what stock he springs of, The noble house o the Marcians, from whence came 255 That Ancus Martius, Numas daughters son, Who, after great Hostilius, here was king; Of the same house Publius and Quintus were, That our beat water brought by conduits hither; And [Censorinus,] nobly named so, 260 Twice being [by the people chosen] censor, Was his great ancestor.	UBTSUR dneeId, tdon rspae us. aSy we tldo you lla oabtu him, tuboa how yuong he wsa nhwe he nebga to rseev ish trnyocu dna hwo lnog he sah edno so, tbauo het elbon mayfil he ocmse fhretom emsa alfmiy as scuAn artusiM, aumsN hgertdsau son, who asw ikgn etfar eartg lisstHiuo. eHs rfom eth msea liayfm as suubiPl and sQunuit, hte nose who tulbi rou esbt wtear utsdonci.

FIRST CITIZEN Once, if he do require our voices, we ought not to deny him.	TRIFS ZCTNEII If dna wehn he sska ofr uro oestv, we lsdtuohn ynde him.
SECOND CITIZEN We may, sir, if we will.	ENODSC CNTIEIZ We nca edyn mhi, rsi, if we nwta to.
THIRD CITIZEN We have power in ourselves to do it, but it is a power that we have no power to do; for if he show us 5 his wounds and tell us his deeds, we are to put our tongues into those wounds and speak for them; so, if he tell us his noble deeds, we must also tell him our noble acceptance of them. Ingratitude is monstrous, and for the multitude to be ingrateful, 10 were to make a monster of the multitude: of the which we being members, should bring ourselves to be monstrous members.

THIRD CITIZEN We have been called so of many; not that our heads are some brown, some black, some auburn, some bald, but that our wits are so diversely coloured: and truly I think if all our wits were to issue out of 20 one skull, they would fly east, west, north, south, and their consent of one direct way should be at once to all the points o the compass.

CORIOLANUS You should account me the more virtuous that I have not been common in my love. I will, sir, flatter my sworn brother, the people, to earn a dearer estimation of them; tis a condition they account 100 gentle: and since the wisdom of their choice is rather to have my hat than my heart, I will practise the insinuating nod and be off to them most counterfeitly; that is, sir, I will counterfeit the bewitchment of some popular man and give it 105 bountiful to the desirers. Therefore, beseech you, I may be consul.

Why in this woolvish toge should I stand here, To beg of Hob and Dick, that do appear, Their needless vouches? Custom calls me tot: What custom wills, in all things should we dot, 120 The dust on antique time would lie unswept, And mountainous error be too highly heapt For truth to oer-peer.

THIRD CITIZEN He said he had wounds, which he could show in private; 175 And with his hat, thus waving it in scorn, I would be consul, says he: aged custom, But by your voices, will not so permit me; Your voices therefore.

BRUTUS Could you not have told him As you were lessond, when he had no power, But was a petty servant to the state, He was your enemy, ever spake against 190 Your liberties and the charters that you bear I the body of the weal; and now, arriving A place of potency and sway o the state, If he should still malignantly remain Fast foe to the plebeii, your voices might 195 Be curses to yourselves? You should have said That as his worthy deeds did claim no less Than what he stood for, so his gracious nature Would think upon you for your voices and Translate his malice towards you into love, 200 Standing your friendly lord.

SICINIUS Thus to have said, As you were fore-advised, had touchd his spirit And tried his inclination; from him pluckd Either his gracious promise, which you might, 205 As cause had calld you up, have held him to Or else it would have galld his surly nature, Which easily endures not article Tying him to aught; so putting him to rage, You should have taen the advantage of his choler 210 And passd him unelected.

BRUTUS Did you perceive He did solicit you in free contempt When he did need your loves, and do you think That his contempt shall not be bruising to you, 215 When he hath power to crush?

SICINIUS 245 Say, you chose him More after our commandment than as guided By your own true affections, and that your minds, Preoccupied with what you rather must do Than what you should, made you against the grain 250 To voice him consul: lay the fault on us.

BRUTUS Ay, spare us not. Say we read lectures to you. How youngly he began to serve his country, How long continued, and what stock he springs of, The noble house o the Marcians, from whence came 255 That Ancus Martius, Numas daughters son, Who, after great Hostilius, here was king; Of the same house Publius and Quintus were, That our beat water brought by conduits hither; And [Censorinus,] nobly named so, 260 Twice being [by the people chosen] censor, Was his great ancestor.

SICINIUS One thus descended, That hath beside well in his person wrought To be set high in place, we did commend 265 To your remembrances: but you have found, Scaling his present bearing with his past, That hes your fixed enemy, and revoke Your sudden approbation.

BRUTUS Let them go on; This mutiny were better put in hazard, Than stay, past doubt, for greater: If, as his nature is, he fall in rage 280 With their refusal, both observe and answer The vantage of his anger.
