Your enemies, with nodding of their plumes,
               Fan you into despair! Have the power still
               To banish your defenders, till at length
               Your ignorance − which finds not till it feels,

               Making but reservation of yourselves [130]
               Still your own foes − deliver you
               As most abated captives to some nation
               That won you without blows! Despising

               For you the city, thus I turn my back.
               There is a world elsewhere. [135]
                           Exeunt Coriolanus, Cominius, Menenius, with the other Patricians.



              AEDILE
               The people’s enemy is gone, is gone!



              PLEBEIANS
               Our enemy is banished, he is gone! Hoo-oo!



                                      They all shout, and throw up their caps.


              SICINIUS

               Go see him out at gates, and follow him
               As he hath followed you, with all despite;
               Give him deserved vexation. Let a guard [140]
               Attend us through the city.



              PLEBEIANS
               Come, come, let’s see him out at gates, come!

               The gods preserve our noble Tribunes! Come!
                                                                                                        Exeunt.
