Coriolanus
| ACT I SCENE VII. The gates of Corioli. | ||
| [ TITUS LARTIUS, having set a guard upon Corioli, going with drum and trumpet toward COMINIUS and CAIUS MARCIUS, enters with Lieutenant, other Soldiers, and a Scout ] | ||
| LARTIUS | So, let the ports be guarded: keep your duties, | |
| As I have set them down. If I do send, dispatch | ||
| Those centuries to our aid: the rest will serve | ||
| For a short holding: if we lose the field, | ||
| We cannot keep the town. | 5 | |
| Lieutenant | Fear not our care, sir. | |
| LARTIUS | Hence, and shut your gates upon’s. | |
| Our guider, come; to the Roman camp conduct us. | ||
