ACT I - SCENE V. Corioli. A street.
Enter certain Romans, with spoils

First Roman
1    This will I carry to Rome.
Second Roman
2    And I this.
Third Roman
3    A murrain on't! I took this for silver.
Alarum continues still afar off

Enter MARCIUS and TITUS LARTIUS with a trumpet

MARCIUS
4    See here these movers that do prize their hours
5    At a crack'd drachm! Cushions, leaden spoons,
6    Irons of a doit, doublets that hangmen would
7    Bury with those that wore them, these base slaves,
8    Ere yet the fight be done, pack up: down with them!
9    And hark, what noise the general makes! To him!
10   There is the man of my soul's hate, Aufidius,
11   Piercing our Romans: then, valiant Titus, take
12   Convenient numbers to make good the city;
13   Whilst I, with those that have the spirit, will haste
14   To help Cominius.
LARTIUS
15   Worthy sir, thou bleed'st;
16   Thy exercise hath been too violent for
17   A second course of fight.
MARCIUS
18   Sir, praise me not;
19   My work hath yet not warm'd me: fare you well:
20   The blood I drop is rather physical
21   Than dangerous to me: to Aufidius thus
22   I will appear, and fight.
LARTIUS
23   Now the fair goddess, Fortune,
24   Fall deep in love with thee; and her great charms
25   Misguide thy opposers' swords! Bold gentleman,
26   Prosperity be thy page!
MARCIUS
27   Thy friend no less
28   Than those she placeth highest! So, farewell.
LARTIUS
29   Thou worthiest Marcius!
Exit MARCIUS
30   Go, sound thy trumpet in the market-place;
31   Call thither all the officers o' the town,
32   Where they shall know our mind: away!
Exeunt
