There, Coriolanus. May I change these Garments? You may, Sir. That I'll strait do: and knowing myself again, Repair toth' Senate-house. I'll keep you company. Will you along? We stay here for the People. Far you well. He has it now: and by his Looks, me thinks, 'Tis warm at's heart. With a proud heart he wore his humble Weeds: Will you dismiss the People? How now, my Masters, have you chose this man? He has our Voices, Sir. We pray the Gods, he may deserve your loves. Amen, Sir: to my poor unworthy notice, He mocked us, when he begged our Voices. Certainly, he flouted us downright. No, 'tis his kind of speech, he did not mock us. Not one amongst us, save yourself, but says He used us scornfully: he should have showed us His Marks of Merit, Wounds received for's Country. Why so he did I am sure. No, no: no man saw 'em. He said he had Wounds, Which he could show in private: And with his Hat, thus waving it in scorn, I would be Consul, says he: aged Custom, But by your Voices, will not so permit me. Your Voices therefore: when we granted that, Here was, I thank you for your Voices, thank you Your most sweet Voices: now you have left your Voices I have no further with you. Was not this mockery? Why either were you ignorant to see't? Or seeing it, of such Childish friendliness, To yield your Voices? Can you not have told him, As you were lessoned: When he had no Power, But was a petty servant to the State, He was your Enemy, ever spake against Your Liberties, and the Charters that you bear I' th' Body of the Weal: and now arriving A place of Potency, and sway o' th' State, If he should still malignantly remain Fast Foe toth' Plebeij, your Voices might Be Curses to yourselves. You should have said, That as his worthy deeds did claim no less Than what he stood for: so his gracious nature Would think upon you, for your Voices, And translate his Malice towards you, into Love, Standing your friendly Lord. Thus to have said, As you were fore-aduis'd, had touched his Spirit, And tried his Inclinations from him plucked Either his gracious Promise, which you might As cause had called you up, have held him to; Or else it would have galled his surly nature, Which easily endures not Article, Tying him to aught, so putting him to Rage, You should have ta'en th' advantage of his Choler, And passed him unelected. Did you perceive, He did solicit you in free Contempt, When he did need your Loves: and do you think, That his Contempt shall not be bruising to you, When he hath power to crush? Why, had your Bodies No Heart among you? Or had you Tongues, to cry Against the Rectorship of judgement?

There, Coriolanus. May I change theſe Garments? You may, Sir. That Ile ſtraight do: and knowing my ſelfe again, Repayre toth' Senate-houſe. Ile keepe you company. Will you along? We ſtay here for the People. Fare you well. He ha's it now: and by his Lookes, me thinkes, 'Tis warme at's heart. With a prowd heart he wore his humble Weeds: Will you diſmiſſe the People? How now, my Maſters, haue you choſe this man? He ha's our Voyces, Sir. We pray the Gods, he may deſerue your loues. Amen, Sir: to my poore vnworthy notice, He mock'd vs, when he begg'd our Voyces. Certainely, he flowted vs downe-right. No, 'tis his kind of ſpeech, he did not mock vs. Not one amongſt vs, ſaue your ſelfe, but ſayes He vs'd vs ſcornefully: he ſhould haue ſhew'd vs His Marks of Merit, Wounds receiu'd for's Countrey. Why ſo he did I am ſure. No, no: no man ſaw 'em. Hee ſaid hee had Wounds, Which he could ſhew in priuate: And with his Hat, thus wauing it in ſcorne, I would be Conſull, ſayes he: aged Cuſtome, But by your Voyces, will not ſo permit me. Your Voyces therefore: when we graunted that, Here was, I thanke you for your Voyces, thanke you Your moſt ſweet Voyces: now you haue left your Voyces I haue no further with you. Was not this mockerie? Why eyther were you ignorant to ſee't? Or ſeeing it, of ſuch Childiſh friendlineſſe, To yeeld your Voyces? Could you not haue told him, As you were leſſon'd: When he had no Power, But was a pettie ſeruant to the State, He was your Enemie, euer ſpke againſt Your Liberties, and the Charters that you beare I' th' Body of the Weale: and now arriuing A place of Potencie, and ſway o' th' State, If he ſhould ſtill malignantly remaine Faſt Foe toth' Plebeij, your Voyces might Be Curſes to your ſelues. You ſhould haue ſaid, That as his worthy deeds did clayme no leſſe Then what he ſtood for: ſo his gracious nature Would thinke vpon you, for your Voyces, And tranſlate his Mallice towards you, into Loue, Standing your friendly Lord. Thus to haue ſaid, As you were fore-aduis'd, had toucht his Spirit, And try'd his Inclinations from him pluckt Eyther his gracious Promiſe, which you might As cauſe had call'd you vp, haue held him to; Or elſe it would haue gall'd his ſurly nature, Which eaſily endures not Article, Tying him to ought, ſo putting him to Rage, You ſhould haue ta'ne th' aduantage of his Choller, And paſs'd him vnelected. Did you perceiue, He did ſollicite you in free Contempt, When he did need your Loues▪ and doe you thinke, That his Contempt ſhall not be bruſing to you, When he hath power to cruſh? Why, had your Bodyes No Heart among you? Or had you Tongues, to cry Againſt the Rectorſhip of Iudgement?
