MENENIUS
Do not stand upon’t.
We recommend to you, Tribunes of the People,
Our purpose to them; and to our noble Consul [150]
Wish we all joy and honour.
SENATORS
To Coriolanus come all joy and honour!
Flourish. Cornets. Then exeunt.
Sicinius and Brutus stay behind.
BRUTUS
You see how he intends to use the people.
SICINIUS
May they perceive’s intent! He will require them
As if he did contemn what he requested [155]
Should be in them to give.
BRUTUS
Come, we’ll inform them
Of our proceedings here. On th’market-place
I know they do attend us.
Exeunt.
Scene III IT

We may, sir, if we will.
