ACT 1
Scene 2

... Let’s along.
Enter Tullus Aufidius with Senators of Corioles.
FIRST SENATOR: So, your opinion is, Aufidius,
That they of Rome are entered in our counsels
And know how we proceed.

...Consider of it.
FIRST SENATOR: Our army’s in the field.
We never yet made doubt but Rome was ready
To answer us.

...we were afoot.
SECOND SENATOR: Noble Aufidius,
Take your commission; hie you to your bands.
Let us alone to guard Corioles.
If they set down before ’s, for the remove
Bring up your army. But I think you’ll find
They’ve not prepared for us.

...do no more.
The gods assist you!

...your Honors safe!
FIRST SENATOR: Farewell.
SECOND SENATOR: Farewell.
Farewell.
All exit.

Scene 4

...sound a parley.
Enter two Senators with others on the walls of Corioles.

...within your walls?
FIRST SENATOR: No, nor a man that fears you less than he:
That’s lesser than a little.

Drum afar off.
Hark, our drums
Are bringing forth our youth. We’ll break our walls
Rather than they shall pound us up. Our gates,
Which yet seem shut, we have but pinned with rushes.
They’ll open of themselves.

Alarum far off.
Hark you, far off!
There is Aufidius. List what work he makes
Amongst your cloven army.
They exit from the walls.
