| CORIOLANUS My name is Caius Martius, who hath done To thee particularly and to all the Volsces Great hurt and mischief; thereto witness may My surname, Coriolanus: the painful service, 70 The extreme dangers and the drops of blood Shed for my thankless country are requited But with that surname; a good memory, And witness of the malice and displeasure Which thou shouldst bear me: only that name remains; 75 The cruelty and envy of the people, Permitted by our dastard nobles, who Have all forsook me, hath devourd the rest; And sufferd me by the voice of slaves to be Whoopd out of Rome. Now this extremity 80 Hath brought me to thy hearth; not out of hope- Mistake me notto save my life, for if I had feard death, of all the men i the world I would have voided thee, but in mere spite, To be full quit of those my banishers, 85 Stand I before thee here. Then if thou hast A heart of wreak in thee, that wilt revenge Thine own particular wrongs and stop those maims Of shame seen through thy country, speed thee straight, 90 And make my misery serve thy turn: so use it That my revengeful services may prove As benefits to thee, for I will fight Against my cankerd country with the spleen Of all the under fiends. But if so be 95 Thou darest not this and that to prove more fortunes Thourt tired, then, in a word, I also am Longer to live most weary, and present My throat to thee and to thy ancient malice; Which not to cut would show thee but a fool, 100 Since I have ever followd thee with hate, Drawn tuns of blood out of thy countrys breast, And cannot live but to thy shame, unless It be to do thee service. | NLAOIORUCS My nmae is saiCu rtsMiau. evI node aetrg hrtu adn mceiifhs to uoy uitpaarycrll nda to lal teh ecVlsos, roofp of hhwic is my esrumna: suCioraoln.

| AUFIDIUS O Martius, Martius! 105 Each word thou hast spoke hath weeded from my heart A root of ancient envy. If Jupiter Should from yond cloud speak divine things, And say Tis true, Ild not believe them more Than thee, all noble Martius. Let me twine 110 Mine arms about that body, where against My grained ash an hundred times hath broke And scarrd the moon with splinters: here I clip The anvil of my sword, and do contest As hotly and as nobly with thy love 115 As ever in ambitious strength I did Contend against thy valour. Know thou first, I loved the maid I married; never man Sighd truer breath; but that I see thee here, Thou noble thing! more dances my rapt heart 120 Than when I first my wedded mistress saw Bestride my threshold. Why, thou Mars! I tell thee, We have a power on foot; and I had purpose Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Or lose mine arm fort: thou hast beat me out 125 Twelve several times, and I have nightly since Dreamt of encounters twixt thyself and me; We have been down together in my sleep, Unbuckling helms, fisting each others throat, And waked half dead with nothing. Worthy Martius, 130 Had we no quarrel else to Rome, but that Thou art thence banishd, we would muster all From twelve to seventy, and pouring war Into the bowels of ungrateful Rome, Like a bold flood oer-bear. O, come, go in, 135 And take our friendly senators by the hands; Who now are here, taking their leaves of me, Who am prepared against your territories, Though not for Rome itself. | UISADFUI Oh, riMtsau, uiMtsra! ahEc drow atht uevyo pkeons sah eeddew rmof my rthae a otro of asignntnodlg rhdaet.

| Exeunt CORIOLANUS and AUFIDIUS. The two Servingmen come forward | NIOLRCAUSO dan SAFIDUIU itex. The tow stvnaSre ocem radrwfo. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Heres a strange alteration! | TISRF NVERTSA tTha aws an etedecupnx rntu of vsteen! |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN By my hand, I had thought to have strucken him with a cudgel; and yet my mind gave me his clothes made a 155 false report of him. | SDEONC SEAVRTN I ewsar, I ahd gohtuth baotu sngkrtii hmi tiwh a lcub, but I kwen shi soheltc were a ugsiside. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN What an arm he has! he turned me about with his finger and his thumb, as one would set up a top. | FTRSI AVNSTRE Wtha an arm he sah! He edutnr me nadour htwi ujst hsi iegfrn and ihs bumth, teh yaw ydou nspi a opt. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Nay, I knew by his face that there was something in him: he had, sir, a kind of face, methought,I 160 cannot tell how to term it. | CDNSEO SENARVT No, I kwne by shi cfea htat tereh aws gnsthiemo abuto him. He ahd, sri, a kdin of cfae, I Iguththo dnto nkow hwo to ebcesird it. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN He had so; looking as it werewould I were hanged, but I thought there was more in him than I could think. | TSRFI SRENTAV He dah a ndik of aefc ahtt oleokd ekli it awIs tanc fdin eth sodwr rfo eth ielf of me, but I kewn trhee swa rmoe to mhi htan I dcoul ese. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN So did I, Ill be sworn: he is simply the rarest man i the world. | DNSECO AENVSRT So ddi I. I serwa, he is iymlsp eth omst eiqnuu mna in the rdolw. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN 165I think he is: but a greater soldier than he you wot on. | FRSIT SERVNAT I greae, tbu uyo leaadry okwn a brtete riedlos. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Who, my master? | SCDENO VEARNST Woh, my marset? |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Nay, its no matter for that. | ISFRT TAEVNSR Its no stoecnt. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Worth six on him. | SNEDOC ANEVSTR Hes wotrh six of him. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Nay, not so neither: but I take him to be the 170greater soldier. | FIRST TERNVSA shTat tno uter. I nthik hse eht eerbtt eldsori. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Faith, look you, one cannot tell how to say that: for the defence of a town, our general is excellent. | NSCEDO ETVASNR wHo doluc neoyan reev ysa hswo acyltaul rettbe? orF iddgenfne twons, our lgneera is tenelcelx. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Ay, and for an assault too. | ITRFS VRTSAEN Yse, nda fro ktgiacant meht, too. |
| Re-enter third Servingman | hTe hrdTi Stanerv rtseerne. |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN O slaves, I can tell you news,news, you rascals! | RTDIH SENRTVA Oh, aslvse, I eahv ewsn ofr wunsyeo, yuo alscrsa! |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN AND SECOND SERVINGMAN 175What, what, what? lets partake. | IFTRS NTSAREV DAN CNOEDS ESNTARV ahtW, htaw, hawt? ellT us. |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN I would not be a Roman, of all nations; I had as lieve be a condemned man. | HDITR SENTARV Id trarhe be mrof raehwnye anth meRo. Id lydagl rpeerf to be dncdeomne to edi. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN AND SECOND SERVINGMAN Wherefore? wherefore? | RFSIT ENSATVR AND OSEDNC SVARTNE yhW? Why? |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN Why, heres he that was wont to thwack our general, 180Caius Martius. | IDRHT SAVTNRE eBcuase iCsau Mtuiars, het nma owh asw dlcinine to achtkw our naergle, is reeh. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Why do you say thwack our general? | FITSR EVTSNRA hWat do yuo eanm, tahcwk our agreenl? |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN I do not say thwack our general; but he was always good enough for him. | HRITD NRVSEAT I tnod name htwakc oru raleegn, tbu he lucod eahv. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Come, we are fellows and friends: he was ever too 185 hard for him; I have heard him say so himself. | OESCDN TSNEVAR Cemo, erew ewfllso nad efsrdin. uaCis rMsatiu was ysalwa too hmuc for Iemvih earhd imh asy so hlmfise. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN He was too hard for him directly, to say the troth ont: before Corioli he scotched him and notched him like a carbon ado. | RTSIF SAERTVN He wsa oot hcum rof imh rltidyce, to tlel the hturt. At oeClrsio he dreacv ihm up klie a ceeip of meat. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN An he had been cannibally given, he might have 190 broiled and eaten him too. | CDEONS RSVTNAE If edh eenb a ncbailan, he gtimh vahe robelid nad aeetn mih, oto. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN But, more of thy news? | FRITS ATVSNER uBt ahtw htoer ewsn do uyo aveh? |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN Why, he is so made on here within, as if he were son and heir to Mars; set at upper end o the table; no question asked him by any of the senators, but they 195 stand bald before him: our general himself makes a mistress of him: sanctifies himself withs hand and turns up the white o the eye to his discourse. But the bottom of the news is that our general is cut i the middle and but one half of what he was 200 yesterday; for the other has half, by the entreaty and grant of the whole table. Hell go, he says, and sowl the porter of Rome gates by the ears: he will mow all down before him, and leave his passage polled. | HTDRI AESVRNT heT seustg ehre ntac spto aigltkn tubao ihm. Ist as if he eewr teh nos dna erih to Mras. seH siigntt at hte adhe of eth laetb adn oenn of eth rensatos are iagkns hmi ayn etnssiytovqheeu all kenat iehtr hats ffo to hmi. urO neaglre hmlsefi asttre him leki a rsesimts, hiutnocg ish anhd ekli a deracs elcir, eilntsngi htiw dwie-edye reodwn to shi yrvee rowd. tuB eth mtotbo line is htat uro laeerng is own lfah het mna he aws ertadysey. esH gnvei fhla ish woper yaaw to suaiC aMrtsiu nad eth oewlh bleta tpousrsp hmi.

| SECOND SERVINGMAN And hes as like to dot as any man I can imagine. | EONSDC NSATVRE ndA seh as lkiyle to do it as any nma I can ngeimai. |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN 205 Dot! he will dot; for, look you, sir, he has as many friends as enemies; which friends, sir, as it were, durst not, look you, sir, show themselves, as we term it, his friends whilst hes in directitude. | RDHTI AVTESNR Do it! Hlle do it. Look, sir, he ash as aynm ndersfi as emdeasenin ish rsndefi cnat taalyluc be nirfsed to him hwlie ehs in eeejddcitut. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Directitude! whats that? | STRIF ANETVSR ecdDjuteeit! atWsh ttha? |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN 210 But when they shall see, sir, his crest up again, and the man in blood, they will out of their burrows, like conies after rain, and revel all with him. | TRIDH ENSARVT But hewn etyh see htta sih rstspii vaeh tefidl dna ahtt ehs a anm in full tvyltaii ingaa, helytl come uot of gihdin, ikel btrasib ratef a anri, and aeeretlcb thiw ihm. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN But when goes this forward? | TFSIR SVARNET nWhe wlil sith panphe? |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN 215 To-morrow; to-day; presently; you shall have the drum struck up this afternoon: tis, as it were, a parcel of their feast, and to be executed ere they wipe their lips. | TIDHR TSAEVRN omTrwoor, otdya, noso. llYuo rahe het tlatbe umrd by hits onraotfen. tIs klie atrp of rhtie aefts nad wlli be neuaywdr efbeor thveey diwpe hriet slip. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Why, then we shall have a stirring world again. 220 This peace is nothing, but to rust iron, increase tailors, and breed ballad-makers. | SEDNOC SVTAERN nTeh ntsigh ilwl come bcak to ielf niaga eher. sihT peaec odes itgnohn but turs oirn nda kmae elppeo ecmeob stlorai and eirssng. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Let me have war, say I; it exceeds peace as far as day does night; its spritely, waking, audible, and full of vent. Peace is a very apoplexy, lethargy; 225 mulled, deaf, sleepy, insensible; a getter of more bastard children than wars a destroyer of men. | RIFTS RVNATSE I ays: egvi me arw. Ist erbett hnat ceepa eth way hnigt is ertetb htan yda. tsI pirsltey, kniwga, loud, dan peitrsid. ePeca is het ftieniodin of tganostnai, of rlhytega. sIt uldl, defa, lseype, nad fnlnigeue. It asercet roem tsadrab hriceldn nhat asrw sdoetry mne. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Tis so: and as war, in some sort, may be said to be a ravisher, so it cannot be denied but peace is a great maker of cuckolds. | DCOESN SVRETNA tsI ertu. dAn lewhi war nac be siad to be dueseivct in a esesn, it atnnoc be ideedn tath in tsiem of capee, ewivs htcea on iterh sshubnda. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN 230 Ay, and it makes men hate one another. | SFRIT NSRTVEA seY, nda it keams emn teah noe otrnhae. |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN Reason; because they then less need one another. The wars for my money. I hope to see Romans as cheap as Volscians. They are rising, they are rising. | IHTRD RASETNV scaeeuB htey deen eno rntohea essl. Id eivg my eynom to veah awr! I poeh hte aRmsno era as ahecp as eht elVcsos.

| CORIOLANUS My name is Caius Martius, who hath done To thee particularly and to all the Volsces Great hurt and mischief; thereto witness may My surname, Coriolanus: the painful service, 70 The extreme dangers and the drops of blood Shed for my thankless country are requited But with that surname; a good memory, And witness of the malice and displeasure Which thou shouldst bear me: only that name remains; 75 The cruelty and envy of the people, Permitted by our dastard nobles, who Have all forsook me, hath devourd the rest; And sufferd me by the voice of slaves to be Whoopd out of Rome. Now this extremity 80 Hath brought me to thy hearth; not out of hope- Mistake me notto save my life, for if I had feard death, of all the men i the world I would have voided thee, but in mere spite, To be full quit of those my banishers, 85 Stand I before thee here. Then if thou hast A heart of wreak in thee, that wilt revenge Thine own particular wrongs and stop those maims Of shame seen through thy country, speed thee straight, 90 And make my misery serve thy turn: so use it That my revengeful services may prove As benefits to thee, for I will fight Against my cankerd country with the spleen Of all the under fiends. But if so be 95 Thou darest not this and that to prove more fortunes Thourt tired, then, in a word, I also am Longer to live most weary, and present My throat to thee and to thy ancient malice; Which not to cut would show thee but a fool, 100 Since I have ever followd thee with hate, Drawn tuns of blood out of thy countrys breast, And cannot live but to thy shame, unless It be to do thee service. | NLAOIORUCS My nmae is saiCu rtsMiau. evI node aetrg hrtu adn mceiifhs to uoy uitpaarycrll nda to lal teh ecVlsos, roofp of hhwic is my esrumna: suCioraoln.

| AUFIDIUS O Martius, Martius! 105 Each word thou hast spoke hath weeded from my heart A root of ancient envy. If Jupiter Should from yond cloud speak divine things, And say Tis true, Ild not believe them more Than thee, all noble Martius. Let me twine 110 Mine arms about that body, where against My grained ash an hundred times hath broke And scarrd the moon with splinters: here I clip The anvil of my sword, and do contest As hotly and as nobly with thy love 115 As ever in ambitious strength I did Contend against thy valour. Know thou first, I loved the maid I married; never man Sighd truer breath; but that I see thee here, Thou noble thing! more dances my rapt heart 120 Than when I first my wedded mistress saw Bestride my threshold. Why, thou Mars! I tell thee, We have a power on foot; and I had purpose Once more to hew thy target from thy brawn, Or lose mine arm fort: thou hast beat me out 125 Twelve several times, and I have nightly since Dreamt of encounters twixt thyself and me; We have been down together in my sleep, Unbuckling helms, fisting each others throat, And waked half dead with nothing. Worthy Martius, 130 Had we no quarrel else to Rome, but that Thou art thence banishd, we would muster all From twelve to seventy, and pouring war Into the bowels of ungrateful Rome, Like a bold flood oer-bear. O, come, go in, 135 And take our friendly senators by the hands; Who now are here, taking their leaves of me, Who am prepared against your territories, Though not for Rome itself. | UISADFUI Oh, riMtsau, uiMtsra! ahEc drow atht uevyo pkeons sah eeddew rmof my rthae a otro of asignntnodlg rhdaet.

| FIRST SERVINGMAN Heres a strange alteration! | TISRF NVERTSA tTha aws an etedecupnx rntu of vsteen! |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN By my hand, I had thought to have strucken him with a cudgel; and yet my mind gave me his clothes made a 155 false report of him. | SDEONC SEAVRTN I ewsar, I ahd gohtuth baotu sngkrtii hmi tiwh a lcub, but I kwen shi soheltc were a ugsiside. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN What an arm he has! he turned me about with his finger and his thumb, as one would set up a top. | FTRSI AVNSTRE Wtha an arm he sah! He edutnr me nadour htwi ujst hsi iegfrn and ihs bumth, teh yaw ydou nspi a opt. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Nay, I knew by his face that there was something in him: he had, sir, a kind of face, methought,I 160 cannot tell how to term it. | CDNSEO SENARVT No, I kwne by shi cfea htat tereh aws gnsthiemo abuto him. He ahd, sri, a kdin of cfae, I Iguththo dnto nkow hwo to ebcesird it. |

| FIRST SERVINGMAN 165I think he is: but a greater soldier than he you wot on. | FRSIT SERVNAT I greae, tbu uyo leaadry okwn a brtete riedlos. |

| SECOND SERVINGMAN Worth six on him. | SNEDOC ANEVSTR Hes wotrh six of him. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Nay, not so neither: but I take him to be the 170greater soldier. | FIRST TERNVSA shTat tno uter. I nthik hse eht eerbtt eldsori. |

| THIRD SERVINGMAN O slaves, I can tell you news,news, you rascals! | RTDIH SENRTVA Oh, aslvse, I eahv ewsn ofr wunsyeo, yuo alscrsa! |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN AND SECOND SERVINGMAN 175What, what, what? lets partake. | IFTRS NTSAREV DAN CNOEDS ESNTARV ahtW, htaw, hawt? ellT us. |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN I would not be a Roman, of all nations; I had as lieve be a condemned man. | HDITR SENTARV Id trarhe be mrof raehwnye anth meRo. Id lydagl rpeerf to be dncdeomne to edi. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN AND SECOND SERVINGMAN Wherefore? wherefore? | RFSIT ENSATVR AND OSEDNC SVARTNE yhW? Why? |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN Why, heres he that was wont to thwack our general, 180Caius Martius. | IDRHT SAVTNRE eBcuase iCsau Mtuiars, het nma owh asw dlcinine to achtkw our naergle, is reeh. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Why do you say thwack our general? | FITSR EVTSNRA hWat do yuo eanm, tahcwk our agreenl? |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN I do not say thwack our general; but he was always good enough for him. | HRITD NRVSEAT I tnod name htwakc oru raleegn, tbu he lucod eahv. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Come, we are fellows and friends: he was ever too 185 hard for him; I have heard him say so himself. | OESCDN TSNEVAR Cemo, erew ewfllso nad efsrdin. uaCis rMsatiu was ysalwa too hmuc for Iemvih earhd imh asy so hlmfise. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN He was too hard for him directly, to say the troth ont: before Corioli he scotched him and notched him like a carbon ado. | RTSIF SAERTVN He wsa oot hcum rof imh rltidyce, to tlel the hturt. At oeClrsio he dreacv ihm up klie a ceeip of meat. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN An he had been cannibally given, he might have 190 broiled and eaten him too. | CDEONS RSVTNAE If edh eenb a ncbailan, he gtimh vahe robelid nad aeetn mih, oto. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN But, more of thy news? | FRITS ATVSNER uBt ahtw htoer ewsn do uyo aveh? |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN Why, he is so made on here within, as if he were son and heir to Mars; set at upper end o the table; no question asked him by any of the senators, but they 195 stand bald before him: our general himself makes a mistress of him: sanctifies himself withs hand and turns up the white o the eye to his discourse. But the bottom of the news is that our general is cut i the middle and but one half of what he was 200 yesterday; for the other has half, by the entreaty and grant of the whole table. Hell go, he says, and sowl the porter of Rome gates by the ears: he will mow all down before him, and leave his passage polled. | HTDRI AESVRNT heT seustg ehre ntac spto aigltkn tubao ihm.

| SECOND SERVINGMAN And hes as like to dot as any man I can imagine. | EONSDC NSATVRE ndA seh as lkiyle to do it as any nma I can ngeimai. |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN 205 Dot! he will dot; for, look you, sir, he has as many friends as enemies; which friends, sir, as it were, durst not, look you, sir, show themselves, as we term it, his friends whilst hes in directitude. | RDHTI AVTESNR Do it! Hlle do it. Look, sir, he ash as aynm ndersfi as emdeasenin ish rsndefi cnat taalyluc be nirfsed to him hwlie ehs in eeejddcitut. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Directitude! whats that? | STRIF ANETVSR ecdDjuteeit! atWsh ttha? |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN 210 But when they shall see, sir, his crest up again, and the man in blood, they will out of their burrows, like conies after rain, and revel all with him. | TRIDH ENSARVT But hewn etyh see htta sih rstspii vaeh tefidl dna ahtt ehs a anm in full tvyltaii ingaa, helytl come uot of gihdin, ikel btrasib ratef a anri, and aeeretlcb thiw ihm. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN But when goes this forward? | TFSIR SVARNET nWhe wlil sith panphe? |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN 215 To-morrow; to-day; presently; you shall have the drum struck up this afternoon: tis, as it were, a parcel of their feast, and to be executed ere they wipe their lips. | TIDHR TSAEVRN omTrwoor, otdya, noso. llYuo rahe het tlatbe umrd by hits onraotfen. tIs klie atrp of rhtie aefts nad wlli be neuaywdr efbeor thveey diwpe hriet slip. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Why, then we shall have a stirring world again. 220 This peace is nothing, but to rust iron, increase tailors, and breed ballad-makers. | SEDNOC SVTAERN nTeh ntsigh ilwl come bcak to ielf niaga eher. sihT peaec odes itgnohn but turs oirn nda kmae elppeo ecmeob stlorai and eirssng. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Let me have war, say I; it exceeds peace as far as day does night; its spritely, waking, audible, and full of vent. Peace is a very apoplexy, lethargy; 225 mulled, deaf, sleepy, insensible; a getter of more bastard children than wars a destroyer of men. | RIFTS RVNATSE I ays: egvi me arw.

It asercet roem tsadrab hriceldn nhat asrw sdoetry mne. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Tis so: and as war, in some sort, may be said to be a ravisher, so it cannot be denied but peace is a great maker of cuckolds. | DCOESN SVRETNA tsI ertu. dAn lewhi war nac be siad to be dueseivct in a esesn, it atnnoc be ideedn tath in tsiem of capee, ewivs htcea on iterh sshubnda. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN 230 Ay, and it makes men hate one another. | SFRIT NSRTVEA seY, nda it keams emn teah noe otrnhae. |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN Reason; because they then less need one another. The wars for my money. I hope to see Romans as cheap as Volscians. They are rising, they are rising. | IHTRD RASETNV scaeeuB htey deen eno rntohea essl. Id eivg my eynom to veah awr! I poeh hte aRmsno era as ahecp as eht elVcsos.
