3141. Sen. So, your opinion is Auffidius,

315That they of Rome are entred in our Counsailes,

316And know how we proceede,

317Auf. Is it not yours?

318What euer haue bin thought one in this State

319That could be brought to bodily act, ere Rome

320Had circumuention: 'tis not foure dayes gone

321Since I heard thence, these are the words, I thinke

322I haue the Letter heere: yes, heere it is;

323They haue prest a Power, but it is not knowne

324Whether for East or West: the Dearth is great,

325The people Mutinous: And it is rumour'd,

326Cominius, Martius your old Enemy

327(Who is of Rome worse hated then of you)

328And Titus Lartius, a most valiant Roman,

329These three leade on this Preparation

330Whether 'tis bent: most likely, 'tis for you:

331Consider of it.

3321. Sen. Our Armie's in the Field:

333We neuer yet made doubt but Rome was ready

334To answer vs.

335Auf. Nor did you thinke it folly,

336To keepe your great pretences vayl'd, till when

337They needs must shew themselues, which in the hatching

338It seem'd appear'd to Rome. By the discouery,

339We shalbe shortned in our ayme, which was

340To take in many Townes, ere (almost) Rome

341Should know we were a-foot.

3422. Sen. Noble Auffidius,

343Take your Commission, hye you to your Bands,

344Let vs alone to guard Corioles

345If they set downe before's: for the remoue

346Bring vp your Army: but (I thinke) you'l finde

347Th'haue not prepar'd for vs.

348Auf. O doubt not that,

349I speake from Certainties. Nay more,

350Some parcels of their Power are forth already,

351And onely hitherward. I leaue your Honors.

352If we, and Caius Martius chance to meete,

353'Tis sworne betweene vs, we shall euer strike

354Till one can do no more.

355All. The Gods assist you.

356Auf. And keepe your Honors safe.

3571. Sen. Farewell.

3582. Sen. Farewell.

359All. Farewell. Exeunt omnes.
