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] |
