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.
[Exeunt]
