Cor.

Auf.

This orb o' the earth. His last offences to us
Shall have judicious hearing. Stand, Aufidius,
And trouble not the peace.

O that I had him,

130

With six Aufidiuses, or more, his tribe,

To use my lawful sword!

Insolent villain!

All Consp. Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill him!

Lords.

[The Conspirators draw, and kill Coriolanus: Aufidius stands on his body.

Hold, hold, hold, hold!

O Tullus,

Auf. My noble masters, hear me speak.
First Lord.

Sec. Lord. Thou hast done a deed whereat valour will weep.
Third Lord. Tread not upon him. Masters all, be quiet;
Put up your swords.

Auf. My lords, when you shall know-as in this rage
Provoked by him, you cannot-the great danger
Which this man's life did owe you, you 'll rejoice
That he is thus cut off. Please it your honours
To call me to your senate, I'll deliver

Myself your loyal servant, or endure
Your heaviest censure.

First Lord.

Bear from hence his body;
And mourn you for him: let him be regarded
As the most noble corse that ever herald

Did follow to his urn.

Sec. Lord.

'Auf.

His own impatience

Takes from Aufidius a great part of blame.
Let's make the best of it.

My rage is gone,
And I am struck with sorrow. Take him

up:

141

Help, three o' the chiefest soldiers; I'll be one.
Beat thou the drum, that it speak mournfully:
Trail your steel pikes. Though in this city he
Hath widow'd and unchilded many a one,
Which to this hour bewail the injury,
Yet he shall have a noble memory.

151

Assist. [Exeunt, bearing the body of Coriolanus.

A dead march sounded.
