Full speech
Where's Caius Martius ? They lie in view, but have not spoke as yet. Within this mile and half. The Citizens of Corioles have issued, And given to Lartius and to Martius Battle: I saw our party to their Trenches driven, And then I came away. You are sent for to the Capitol: It's thought, that Martius shall be Consul: I have seen the dumb men throng to see him, And the blind to hear him speak: Matrons flung Gloves, Ladies and Maids their Scarffes, and Handkerchiefs, Upon him as he passed: the Nobles bent As to Jove's Statue, and the Commons made A Shower, and Thunder, with their Caps, and Shouts: I never saw the Like. Good News, good news, the Ladies have prevailed, The Volcians are dislodged, and Martius gone: A merrier day did never yet greet Room, No, not the expulsion of the Tarquin's. Sir, we have all great cause to give great thanks. The news is sir, the Volcies are in Arms. Above and hour, my Lord. Spies of the Ʋ olces Held me in chase, that I was forced to wheel Three or four miles about, else had I sir Half and hour since brought my report. The Nobles in great earnestness are going All to the Senate-house: some news is coming That turns their Countenances. Yes worthy Sir, The Slaves report is seconded, and more More fearful is delivered. It is spoke freely out of many mouths, How probable I do not know, that Martius Joined with Auffidius, leads a power against Room, And vows Revenge as spacious, as between The youngest and oldest thing. You are sent for to the Senate: A fearful Army, led by Caius Martius, Associated with Auffidius, Rages Upon our Territories, and have already Overborne their way, consumed with fire, and took What lay before them. Sir, if you'd save your life, fly to your House, The Plebeians have God your Fellow Tribune, And hale him up and down; all swearing, if The Roman Ladies bring not comfort home, They'll give him death by Inches. As certain as I know the Sun is fire: Where have you lurked that you make doubt of it: Never through and Arch so hurried the blown Tide, As the recomforted through the gates. Why hark you: The Trumpets, Sack-buts, Psalteries, and Fifes, Tabors, and Symbols, and the shouting Roman Make the Sun dance. Hark you. Almost at point to enter.
Plot summary
Plot — Coriolanus
The. citizens of Rome riot for corn. They insist that the patricians are hoarding the commodity, but Menenius Agrippa tells them a fable suggesting that the Senate has made an equitable distribution of what there is. The Senate grants the people tribunes to represent their interests, to the disgust of the patrician soldier Martius. ‘The Volsces put troops in-the field in an attempt to capture Roman territory. The Romans split their powers: the general Cominius takes on the attacking army under the Volscian commander Aufidius, while Martius and Titus Lartius attack the Volscian town of Corioles. Martius ventures alone into the town and is trapped when the gates close behind him. When he re-emerges, bleeding from the fight, he invigorates the troops and Corioles is conquered. He goes to relieve Cominius, while Titus Lartius finalizes the terms of the Roman occupation. Martius confronts Aufidius in single combat. They are long-time rivals who have sworn to fight to the death, but they are balked when Aufidius’ troops intervene to rescue him. Meanwhile, Aufidius realizes that he will never beat Martius in a fair fight: it will have to be by stealth. Martius, now surnamed Coriolanus, returns triumph to Rome, and is put forward for the consulship. By custom, he must humbly ask the consent of the people and show them his war-wounds. He is reluctant, partly through contempt for the plebeians and partly out of a concern that his valour might be misinterpreted as political ambition. Even so, he. undertakes the obligation and receives the people’s voices, but does not actually show the wounds. The Tribunes persuade the people to withdraw their votes, since it would not be in their best interests to have Coriolanus as head of state. When the Tribunes intervene to block his promotion, Coriolanus loses his temper and speaks to them in terms which exacerbate the situation. Cominius undertakes to get him to apologise, but Coriolanus — persuaded to comply only at the intervention of his mother, Volumnia — still cannot keep his temper, and the Tribunes banish him from Rome. Coriolanus goes to Aufidius’ house in Antium and is received. The Volsces are mobilizing a new army for a fresh attack on the Romans, and Aufidius splits his command with Coriolanus, who marches on Rome. When his victory seems certain, first Cominius and then Menenius entreat his clemency, but are refused. An embassy from Volumnia, his wife, and young son proves more effective, however: he decides to…
