Now pray sir get you gone. You have done a brave deed: Ere you go, hear this: As far as doth the Capitol exceed The meanest house in Rome; so far my Son This Lady's Husband here; this (do you see) Whom you have banished, does exceed you all. Well, well, we'll leave you. Why stay we to be baited With one that wants her Wits. Take my Prayers with you. I would the Gods had nothing else to do, But to confirm my Curses. Can I meet 'em But once a day, it would vnclogge my heart Of what lies heavy too't. You have told them home, And by my troth you have cause: you'll Sup with me. Anger's my Meat: I sup upon myself, And so shall starve with Feeding: Come, let's go, Leave this faint-puling, and lament as I do, In Anger, juno-like: Come, come, come. Fie, fie, fie. I know you well sir, and you know me: your name I think is Adrian. It is so sir, truly I have forgot you. I am a Roman, and my Services are as you are, against 'em. Know you me yet. Nicanor: no. The same sir. You had more Beard when I last saw you, but your Favour is well appeared by your Tongue. What's the News in Rome: I have a Note from the Volcean state to find you out there. You have well saved me a day's journey. There hath been in Rome strange Insurrections: The people, against the Senators, Patricians, and Nobles. Hath been; is it ended then? Our State thinks not so, they are in a most warlike preparation, & hope to come upon them, in the heat of their division The main blaze of it is past, but a small thing would make it flame again. For the Nobles receive so to heart, the Banishment of that worthy Coriolanus, that they are in a ripe aptness, to take all power from the people, and to pluck from them their Tribunes for ever. This lies glowing I can tell you, and is almost mature for the violent breaking out. Coriolanus Banished? Banished sir. You will be welcome with this intelligence Nicanor. The day serves well for them now. I have heard it said, the fittest time to corrupt a man's Wife, is when she's fall'n out with her Husband. Your Noble Tullus Auffidius well appear well in these Wars, his great Opposer Coriolanus being now in no request of his country. He cannot choose: I am most fortunate, thus accidentally to encounter you. You have ended my Business, and I will merrily accompany you home. I shall between this and Supper, tell you most strange things from Rome: all tending to the good of their Adversaries. Have you an Army ready say you? A most Royal one: The Centurions, and their charges distinctly billeted already in th' entertainment, and to be on foot at an hour's warning.
