For insurrection's arguing.

MENENIUS

This is strange.

MARCIUS

Go get you home, you fragments!

[Enter a MESSENGER, hastily.]

MESSENGER

Where's Caius Marcius?

MARCIUS

Here: what's the matter?

MESSENGER

The news is, sir, the Volsces are in arms.

MARCIUS

I am glad on't: then we shall ha' means to vent
Our musty superfluity. – See, our best elders.

[Enter COMINIUS, TITUS LARTIUS, and other SENATORS; JUNIUS BRUTUS and SICINIUS VELUTUS.]

FIRST SENATOR

Marcius, 'tis true that you have lately told us: —
The Volsces are in arms.

MARCIUS

They have a leader,
Tullus Aufidius, that will put you to't.
I sin in envying his nobility;
And were I anything but what I am,
I would wish me only he.

COMINIUS

You have fought together.

MARCIUS

Were half to half the world by the ears, and he
Upon my party, I'd revolt, to make
Only my wars with him: he is a lion
That I am proud to hunt.

FIRST SENATOR

Then, worthy Marcius,
Attend upon Cominius to these wars.

COMINIUS

It is your former promise.

MARCIUS

Sir, it is;
And I am constant. – Titus Lartius, thou
Shalt see me once more strike at Tullus' face.
What, art thou stiff? stand'st out?

TITUS LARTIUS

No, Caius Marcius;
I'll lean upon one crutch and fight with the other
Ere stay behind this business.

MENENIUS

O, true bred!

FIRST SENATOR

Your company to the Capitol; where, I know,
Our greatest friends attend us.

TITUS LARTIUS

Lead you on.
Follow, Cominius; we must follow you;
Right worthy your priority.

COMINIUS

Noble Marcius!

FIRST SENATOR

Hence to your homes; be gone!
