| 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. | RALUCONSOI My neam is asCiu rsiuatM. evI oden tgera rtuh adn iefimsch to yuo itlycpluarar nad to lal eht eslsoVc, rpoof of iwhch is my ureamns: rsulaCinoo.

| 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. | AFSUIIUD Oh, arsutMi, Mursati!

| Exeunt CORIOLANUS and AUFIDIUS. The two Servingmen come forward | RLCAOOIUNS nad SFIUUDAI eitx. eTh tow ernSavst mceo rowfdra. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Heres a strange alteration! | TRISF NAVETSR taTh saw an enxectudpe runt of nsvete! |
| 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. | ONSDEC ESVTRAN I sawre, I hda utoghth tbuao rtinskgi mih ihwt a culb, tbu I newk ihs chseolt weer a igusdise. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN What an arm he has! he turned me about with his finger and his thumb, as one would set up a top. | TIRSF NVSEART ahtW an rma he has! He udnert me aourdn wtih usjt shi nrfgei dna hsi uthmb, eth wya youd pisn a pto. |
| 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. | EODNSC TESNARV No, I wken by sih efca taht hrete aws imotghsne uoatb hmi. He adh, rsi, a kdni of acef, I tgoIhtuh dtno wokn ohw to sbriedec 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. | RSIFT VSNEATR He dah a indk of faec ahtt eokldo elik it wsIa catn ifdn het rswod rof the ifel of me, tbu I wekn ehret was eomr to imh hant I uodcl ees. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN So did I, Ill be sworn: he is simply the rarest man i the world. | SECNDO RAENVTS So ddi I. I sawre, he is pmsyli het tosm quueni mna in het owlrd. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN 165I think he is: but a greater soldier than he you wot on. | FSITR VSTNARE I aeger, btu uoy aerdlya wkon a rtebte rdiolse. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Who, my master? | NDCESO ERNASTV hoW, my semtar? |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Nay, its no matter for that. | STIFR VTERSNA Its no onetsct. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Worth six on him. | OSEDCN REASVNT esH torwh isx of ihm. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Nay, not so neither: but I take him to be the 170greater soldier. | SFRTI SNETRVA sahtT otn teru. I kthni esh the retteb deilsro. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Faith, look you, one cannot tell how to say that: for the defence of a town, our general is excellent. | DCSNOE NRTAVSE Hwo uldco anonye reev say wohs auylctal bettre? orF fgeidennd nsowt, our nealreg is letlexcne. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Ay, and for an assault too. | SFIRT NAVSERT seY, adn for iancttkag temh, oot. |
| Re-enter third Servingman | hTe drhiT nteSvra sertneer. |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN O slaves, I can tell you news,news, you rascals! | IRHTD ENARVTS Oh, aevssl, I avhe wnes ofr oensuyw, oyu larssac! |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN AND SECOND SERVINGMAN 175What, what, what? lets partake. | SRTIF RTSVENA NAD EDCNOS ARNTSEV htWa, hwat, ahwt? leTl us. |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN I would not be a Roman, of all nations; I had as lieve be a condemned man. | THDRI NTAVERS Id rtearh be fmro eawrheyn ahnt moRe. Id lglady efrpre to be enecodmdn to edi. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN AND SECOND SERVINGMAN Wherefore? wherefore? | FTSIR ETRVSNA DAN EOSDCN NEVSRTA yhW? yhW? |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN Why, heres he that was wont to thwack our general, 180Caius Martius. | ITDHR RVENSTA Bucease suaCi iauMtsr, the nma owh swa iienclnd to ktwhac uro rlagnee, is ehre. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Why do you say thwack our general? | FRITS ATRNEVS taWh do uyo mane, wthkac uro agnlree? |
| THIRD SERVINGMAN I do not say thwack our general; but he was always good enough for him. | RTHDI TVNREAS I tond aenm htkcaw our aeerngl, btu he lcoud vhea. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN Come, we are fellows and friends: he was ever too 185 hard for him; I have heard him say so himself. | SCEOND NSRATVE emoC, reew leowlfs dan insefdr. Cisua rtsMiua aws aswyal oot cumh rof emIhvi rhaed mhi ays so ihemfls. |
| 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. | TFSRI EANTSVR He asw oot hcum orf mih letydirc, to ltle the utrth. At olCoresi he adercv hmi up liek a eicep of taem. |
| SECOND SERVINGMAN An he had been cannibally given, he might have 190 broiled and eaten him too. | CNOESD NRETAVS If ehd neeb a calaninb, he gihmt heav erodilb adn etena mhi, oto. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN But, more of thy news? | IFSTR TNSAERV uBt hawt ohrte wsen do uoy eavh? |
| 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. | DHTRI SATVERN The getuss here cnat ostp ilgnatk auotb mih. Its as if he wree eht nos nda ihre to asrM. eHs signtit at het dhae of het eltba nad none of teh aetssnor rae ksiang imh yna neoevhytesqstiu lal naetk trihe hsta off to imh.

| SECOND SERVINGMAN And hes as like to dot as any man I can imagine. | SNEODC SVENART dnA hse as ykllei to do it as yna anm I nca eimaign. |
| 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. | DHTIR AVRSETN Do it! eHll do it. kLoo, isr, he ahs as myna rnefids as deianeensm ihs rdfsnie tanc uctlaaly be fenirsd to hmi hewil seh in djuceetetid. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN Directitude! whats that? | IFRST STRNEVA jDtetduceie! tWsha ahtt? |
| 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. | TIRDH SNVTREA tuB whne etyh see tath his rsptsii ehva dteilf dna ttha ehs a man in ullf iiavttly agnia, thylel moec uot of ihindg, elki iarsbtb efart a rina, and aerelecbt iwht ihm. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN But when goes this forward? | FITSR TREVNSA neWh ilwl this npahpe? |
| 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. | HTDRI EATSRNV oorTomrw, adoty, onos. Yloul erah hte ebatlt rdum by sthi toenranof. sIt ikel atrp of tierh easft and liwl be ryuwdean ebofre tyehve epwdi eitrh lpis. |
| 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. | ODNSEC NASRTVE hTen sgtnih illw oemc kacb to feli ignaa eher. Tihs pecea eods ngtinho ubt rtsu ionr dna mkae pepoel meoecb aritsol adn siengsr. |
| 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. | SRFTI TERASNV I ays: iveg me raw. tIs ebtter ntha ecape eht way githn is ttrebe hnat ayd. stI yrlsetpi, iknwga, olud, dna ditsreip. eeaPc is hte iifditnnoe of taniontgsa, of egltrayh. sIt ulld, adef, selyep, and ilennfgeu. It caeetsr mreo sdaabtr hnidrlec tnha sarw esrtdyo nme. |
| 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. | NSDOCE RASVNTE tsI erut. nAd hielw awr anc be adsi to be usivdceet in a enses, it ncnaot be deiend taht in eimts of ecpae, vweis tehac on rtieh sbhaunds. |
| FIRST SERVINGMAN 230 Ay, and it makes men hate one another. | FSTIR ARSEVTN sYe, nad it smeka emn ateh one raohtne. |
| 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. | IDTHR NVAERTS uacBese ehyt eden noe htreaon sesl. Id vegi my money to evah awr! I epho het Rmaons aer as acpeh as het cseosVl.
