2571Rom. I know you well sir, and you know mee: your

2572name I thinke is Adrian.

2573Volce. It is so sir, truly I haue forgot you.

2574Rom. I am a Roman, and my Seruices are as you are,

2575against 'em. Know you me yet.

2576Volce. Nicanor: no.

2577Rom. The same sir.

2578Volce. You had more Beard when I last saw you, but

2579your Fauour is well appear'd by your Tongue. What's

2580the Newes in Rome: I haue a Note from the Volcean

2581state to finde you out there. You haue well saued mee a

2582dayes iourney.

2583Rom. There hath beene in Rome straunge Insurrecti-

2584ons: The people, against the Senatours, Patricians, and

2585Nobles.

2586Vol. Hath bin; is it ended then? Our State thinks not

2587so, they are in a most warlike preparation, & hope to com

2588vpon them, in the heate of their diuision

2589Rom. The maine blaze of it is past, but a small thing

2590would make it flame againe. For the Nobles receyue so

2591to heart, the Banishment of that worthy Coriolanus, that

2592they are in a ripe aptnesse, to take al power from the peo-

2593ple, and to plucke from them their Tribunes for euer.

2594This lyes glowing I can tell you, and is almost mature for

2595the violent breaking out.

2596Vol. Coriolanus Banisht?

2597Rom. Banish'd sir.

2598Vol. You will be welcome with this intelligence Ni-

2599canor.

2600Rom. The day serues well for them now. I haue heard

2601it saide, the fittest time to corrupt a mans Wife, is when

2602shee's falne out with her Husband. Your Noble Tullus

2603Auffidius well appeare well in these Warres, his great

2604Opposer Coriolanus being now in no request of his coun-

2605trey.

2606Volce. He cannot choose: I am most fortunate, thus

2607accidentally to encounter you. You haue ended my Bu-

2608sinesse, and I will merrily accompany you home.

2609Rom. I shall betweene this and Supper, tell you most

2610strange things from Rome: all tending to the good of

2611their Aduersaries. Haue you an Army ready say you?

2612Vol. A most Royall one: The Centurions, and their

2613charges distinctly billetted already in th' entertainment,

2614and to be on foot at an houres warning.

2615Rom. I am ioyfull to heare of their readinesse, and am

2616the man I thinke, that shall set them in present Action. So

2617sir, heartily well met, and most glad of your Company.

2618Volce. You take my part from me sir, I haue the most

2619cause to be glad of yours.

2620Rom. Well, let vs go together. Exeunt.
