Coriolanus
Act 1 Scene 7

 

 

 

 

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.

 

Lieutenant

Fear not our care, sir.

 

LARTIUS

Hence, and shut your gates upon's.

Our guider, come; to the Roman camp conduct us.

 

[Exeunt]
