CORIOLANUS' mother, wife, and child, with another noble lady of Rome, come to entreat for peace. AUFIDIUS' old hate being revived by the admiration of the Volsces for CORIOLANUS, he seeks occasion to destroy him. March to assault thy country, than to tread (Trust to 't thou shalt not) on thy mother's womb, That brought thee to this world. VIR. Ay, and on mine, That brought you forth this boy, to keep your name This boy, that cannot tell what he would have, Than thou hast to deny it. AUF. I am glad thou hast set thy mercy and thy honour At difference in thee: out of that I'll work Myself a former fortune." (Aside.) ACT V. S. 3. IX. CORIOLANUS accused by AUFIDIUS of having betrayed the trust reposed in him by the Volsces. They rise against him. He whined and roar'd away your victory; COR. Hear'st thou, Mars? Flutter'd your Volsces in Corioli; Alone I did it.-Boy! CIT. Tear him to pieces!" ACT V. S. 5. |
