The word is, Mildly. Pray you let us go, Let them accuse me by invention: I Will answer in mine Honor. I, but mildly. Well mildly be it then, Mildly. In this point charge him home, that he affects Tyrannical power: If he evade us there, Enforce him with his envy to the people, And that the Spoil got on the Antiates Was ne'er distributed. What, will he come? he's coming. How accompanied? With old Menenius, and those Senators That always favoured him. Have you a Catalogue Of all the Voices that we have procured, set down by ' th' Pole? I have: 'tis ready. Have you collected them by Tribes? I have. Assemble presently the people hither: And when they hear me say, it shall be so, I' th' right and strength o' th' Commons: be it either For death, for fine, or Banishment, then let them If I say Fine, cry Fine; if Death, cry Death, Insisting on the old prerogative And power i' th' Truth o' th' Cause. I shall inform them. And when such time they have begun to cry, Let them not cease, but with a din confused Enforce the present Execution Of what we chance to Sentence. Very well. Make them be strong, and ready for this hint When we shall hap to give't them. Go about it, Put him to Choler strait, he hath been used Ever to conquer, and to have his worth Of contradiction. Being once chafed, he cannot Be reined again to Temperance, than he speaks What's in his heart, and that is there which looks With us to break his neck. Well, here he comes. Calmly, I do beseech you. I, as an Ostler, that fourth poorest piece Will bear the Knave by ' th' Volume: Th' honoured Gods Keep Rome in safety, and the Chairs of justice Supplied with worthy men, plant love amongst Through our large Temples with the shows of peace And not our streets with War. Amen, Amen. A Noble wish. Draw near ye people. List to your Tribunes. Audience: Peace I say. First hear me speak. Well, say: Peace ho. Shall I be charged no further than this present? Must all determine here? I do demand, If you submit you to the people's voices, Allow their Officers, and are content To suffer lawful Censure for such faults As shall be proved upon you. I am Content. Lo Citizens, he says he is Content. The warlike Service he has done, consider: Think Upon the wounds his body bears, which show Like Graves i' th' holy Churchyard. Scratches with Briars, scars to move Laughter only. Consider further: That when he speaks not like a Citizen, You find him like a Soldier: do not take His rougher Actions for malicious sounds: But as I say, such as become a Soldier, Rather than envy you. Well, well, no more.
