| SICINIUS For that he has, As much as in him lies, from time to time Envied against the people, seeking means 120 To pluck away their power, as now at last Given hostile strokes, and that not in the presence Of dreaded justice, but on the ministers That do distribute it; in the name o the people And in the power of us the tribunes, we, 125 Even from this instant, banish him our city, In peril of precipitation From off the rock Tarpeian never more To enter our Rome gates: i the peoples name, I say it shall be so. | INISCISU As humc as he ulodc, he ahs ynitolnlacu crnoidesp asatngi het epploe, gnlioko fro yswa to aetk yaaw ethir repow, nda onw ehs fnlylia ntake nteolvi eeasurms, adn ton nylo in rfnot of sujitec lsifet utb slao otesh woh tepamtt to aryrc it uto.

| CORIOLANUS You common cry of curs! whose breath I hate As reek o the rotten fens, whose loves I prize As the dead carcasses of unburied men 150 That do corrupt my air, I banish you; And here remain with your uncertainty! Let every feeble rumour shake your hearts! Your enemies, with nodding of their plumes, Fan you into despair! Have the power still 155 To banish your defenders; till at length Your ignorance, which finds not till it feels, Making not reservation of yourselves, Still your own foes, deliver you as most Abated captives to some nation 160 That won you without blows! Despising, For you, the city, thus I turn my back: There is a world elsewhere. | ILOAUSROCN uoY pakc of omcnmo sdgo! uYro aretbh keesr kiel het toginrt spwsma.
