lords how plainly I have borne this business。 AUFIDIUS。 Only their ends
You have respected�察�stopp'd your ears against The general suit of Rome�察�
never admitted A private whisper´ no�察�not with such friends That thought
them sure of you。 CORIOLANUS。 This last old man�察�Whom with crack'd
heart I have sent to Rome�察�Lov'd me above the measure of a father�察�Nay�察�
godded me indeed。 Their latest refuge Was to send him�察�for whose old love
I have´ Though I show'd sourly to him´ once more offer'd The first
conditions�察�which they did refuse And cannot now accept。 To grace him
only�察�That thought he could do more�察�a very little I have yielded to�察�fresh
embassies and suits�察�Nor from the state nor private friends�察�hereafter Will I
lend ear to。 ��Shout within�А�Ha� �what shout is this�拭�Shall I be tempted to
infringe my vow In the same time 'tis made�拭�I will not。
Enter�察 �in mourning habits�察 �VIRGILIA�察 �VOLUMNIA�察 �VALERIA�察�
YOUNG MARCIUS�察�with attendants
My wife comes foremost�察 �then the honour'd mould Wherein this
trunk was fram'd�察�and in her hand The grandchild to her blood。 But out�察�
affection� �All bond and privilege of nature�察�break� �Let it be virtuous to be
obstinate。 What is that curtsy worth�拭 �or those doves' eyes�察 �Which can
make gods forsworn�拭�I melt�察�and am not Of stronger earth than others。 My
mother bows�察�As if Olympus to a molehill should In supplication nod�察�and
my young boy Hath an aspect of intercession which Great nature cries
'Deny not。' Let the Volsces Plough Rome and harrow Italy�察�I'll never Be
such a gosling to obey instinct�察 �but stand As if a man were author of
himself And knew no other kin。 VIRGILIA。 My lord and husband� �
CORIOLANUS。 These eyes are not the same I wore in Rome。 VIRGILIA。
The sorrow that delivers us thus chang'd Makes you think so。
CORIOLANUS。 Like a dull actor now I have forgot my part and I am out�察�
Even to a full disgrace。 Best of my flesh�察�Forgive my tyranny�察�but do not
say�察�For that�察�'Forgive our Romans。' O�察�a kiss Long as my exile�察�sweet as

my revenge� �Now�察�by the jealous queen of heaven�察�that kiss I carried from
thee�察�dear�察�and my true lip Hath virgin'd it e'er since。 You gods� �I prate�察�
And the most noble mother of the world Leave unsaluted。 Sink�察�my knee�察�
i' th' earth�察。�Kneels�А�Of thy deep duty more impression show Than that of
common sons。 VOLUMNIA。 O�察 �stand up blest� �Whilst with no softer
cushion than the flint I kneel before thee�察�and unproperly Show duty�察�as
mistaken all this while Between the child and parent。 ��Kneels�А�
CORIOLANUS。 What's this�拭 �Your knees to me�察 �to your corrected son�拭�
Then let the pebbles on the hungry beach Fillip the stars�察 �then let the
mutinous winds Strike the proud cedars 'gainst the fiery sun�察 �Murd'ring
impossibility�察�to make What cannot be slight work。 VOLUMNIA。 Thou art
my warrior�察�I holp to frame thee。 Do you know this lady�拭�CORIOLANUS。
The noble sister of Publicola�察 �The moon of Rome�察 �chaste as the icicle
That's curdied by the frost from purest snow�察�And hangs on Dian's temple´
dear Valeria� �VOLUMNIA。 This is a poor epitome of yours�察�Which by th'
interpretation of full time May show like all yourself。 CORIOLANUS。
The god of soldiers�察 �With the consent of supreme Jove�察 �inform Thy
thoughts with nobleness�察 �that thou mayst prove To shame unvulnerable�察�
and stick i' th' wars Like a great sea´mark�察�standing every flaw�察�And saving
those that eye thee� �VOLUMNIA。 Your knee�察 �sirrah。 CORIOLANUS。
That's my brave boy。 VOLUMNIA。 Even he�察 �your wife�察 �this lady�察 �and
myself�察�Are suitors to you。 CORIOLANUS。 I beseech you�察�peace� �Or�察�if
you'd ask�察�remember this before�此�The thing I have forsworn to grant may
never Be held by you denials。 Do not bid me Dismiss my soldiers�察 �or
capitulate Again with Rome's mechanics。 Tell me not Wherein I seem
unnatural�察 �desire not T'allay my rages and revenges with Your colder
reasons。 VOLUMNIA。 O�察�no more�察�no more� �You have said you will not
grant us any thing´ For we have nothing else to ask but that Which you
deny already�察�yet we will ask�察�That�察�if you fail in our request�察�the blame
May hang upon your hardness�察 �therefore hear us。 CORIOLANUS。
Aufidius�察 �and you Volsces�察 �mark�察 �for we'll Hear nought from Rome in
private。 Your request�拭�VOLUMNIA。 Should we be silent and not speak�察�
our raiment And state of bodies would bewray what life We have led since
thy exile。 Think with thyself How more unfortunate than all living women

CORIOLANUS
Are we come hither�察 �since that thy sight�察 �which should Make our eyes
flow with joy�察 �hearts dance with comforts�察 �Constrains them weep and
shake with fear and sorrow�察�Making the mother�察�wife�察�and child�察�to see The
son�察�the husband�察�and the father�察�tearing His country's bowels out。 And to
poor we Thine enmity's most capital�此�thou bar'st us Our prayers to the gods�察�
which is a comfort That all but we enjoy。 For how can we�察�Alas�察�how can
we for our country pray�察�Whereto we are bound�察�together with thy victory�察�
Whereto we are bound�拭 �Alack�察 �or we must lose The country�察 �our dear
nurse�察�or else thy person�察 �Our comfort in the country。 We must find An
evident calamity�察 �though we had Our wish�察 �which side should win�察 �for
either thou Must as a foreign recreant be led With manacles through our
streets�察 �or else Triumphantly tread on thy country's ruin�察 �And bear the
palm for having bravely shed Thy wife and children's blood。 For myself�察�
son�察�I purpose not to wait on fortune till These wars determine�察�if I can not
persuade thee Rather to show a noble grace to both parts Than seek the
end of one�察 �thou shalt no sooner March to assault thy country than to
tread´ Trust to't�察�thou shalt not´ on thy mother's womb That brought thee to
this world。 VIRGILIA。 Ay�察�and mine�察�That brought you forth this boy to
keep your name Living to time。 BOY。 'A shall not tread on me� �I'll run
away till I am bigger�察�but then I'll fight。 CORIOLANUS。 Not of a woman's
tenderness to be Requires nor child nor woman's face to see。 I have sat too
long。 ��Rising�А�VOLUMNIA。 Nay�察�go not from us thus。 If it were so that
our request did tend To save the Romans�察�thereby to destroy The Volsces
whom you serve�察�you might condemn us As poisonous of your honour。 No�察�
our suit Is that you reconcile them�此�while the Volsces May say 'This mercy
we have show'd��' the Romans 'This we receiv'd��' and each in either side
Give the all´hail to thee�察�and cry 'Be blest For making up this peace��' Thou
know'st�察 �great son�察 �The end of war's uncertain�察 �but this certain�察 �That�察 �if
thou conquer Rome�察�the benefit Which thou shalt thereby reap is such a
name Whose repetition will be dogg'd with curses�察�Whose chronicle thus
writ�此 �'The man was noble�察 �But with his last attempt he wip'd it out�察�
Destroy'd his country�察�and his name remains To th' ensuing age abhorr'd。'
Speak to me�察�son。 Thou hast affected the fine strains of honour�察�To imitate
the graces of the gods�察�To tear with thunder the wide cheeks o' th' air�察�And

not speak�拭�Think'st thou it honourable for a noble man Still to remember
wrongs�拭�Daughter�察�speak you�此�He cares not for your weeping。 Speak thou�察�
boy�察�Perhaps thy childishness will move him more Than can our reasons。
There's no man in the world More bound to's mother�察�yet here he lets me
prate Like one i' th' stocks。 Thou hast never in thy life Show'd thy dear
mother any courtesy�察�When she�察�poor hen�察�fond of no second brood�察�Has
cluck'd thee to the wars�察 �and safely home Loaden with honour。 Say my
request's unjust�察 �And spurn me back�察 �but if it be not so�察 �Thou art not
honest�察 �and the gods will plague thee�察�That thou restrain'st from me the
duty which To a mother's part belongs。 He turns away。 Down�察�ladies�察�let us
shame him with our knees。 To his surname Coriolanus 'longs more pride
Than pity to our prayers。 Down。 An end�察�This is the last。 So we will home
to Rome�察�And die among our neighbours。 Nay�察 �behold's� �This boy�察 �that
cannot tell what he would have But kneels and holds up hands for
fellowship�察�Does reason our petition with more strength Than thou hast to
deny't。 Come�察�let us go。 This fellow had a Volscian to his mother�察�His wife
is in Corioli�察�and his child Like him by chance。 Yet give us our dispatch。 I
am hush'd until our city be afire�察�And then I'll speak a little。 ��He holds her
by the hand�察 �silent�А �CORIOLANUS。 O mother�察 �mother� �What have you
done�拭 �Behold�察 �the heavens do ope�察 �The gods look down�察 �and this
unnatural scene They laugh at。 O my mother�察�mother� �O� �You have won a
happy victory to Rome�察�But for your son´ believe it�察�O�察�believe it� � Most
dangerously you have with him prevail'd�察�If not most mortal to him。 But
let it come。 Aufidius�察 �though I cannot make true wars�察 �I'll frame
convenient peace。 Now�察�good Aufidius�察�Were you in my stead�察�would you
have heard A mother less�察 �or granted less�察�Aufidius�拭�AUFIDIUS。 I was
mov'd withal。 CORIOLANUS。 I dare be sworn you were� �And�察�sir�察�it is no
little thing to make Mine eyes to sweat compassion。 But�察�good sir�察�What
peace you'll make�察�advise me。 For my part�察�I'll not to Rome�察�I'll back with
you�察�and pray you Stand to me in this cause。 O mother� �wife� �AUFIDIUS。
