You have ended my business, and I will merrily accompany you home. [35]

ROMAN
I shall between this and supper tell you most strange things from Rome, all
tending to the good of their adversaries. Have you an army ready, say you?

VOLSCE
A most royal one. The centurions and their charges distinctly billeted, already
in th’entertainment, [40] and to be on foot at an hour’s warning.

ROMAN
I am joyful to hear of their readiness, and am the man, I think, that shall set

them in present action. So, sir, heartily well met, and most glad of your
company. [45]

VOLSCE
You take my part from me, sir. I have the most cause to be glad of yours.

ROMAN
Well, let us go together.

Exeunt.

Scene IV IT

Enter Coriolanus in mean apparel, disguised and muffled.

CORIOLANUS
A goodly city is this Antium. City,

’Tis I that made thy widows. Many an heir
Of these fair edifices ’fore my wars
Have I heard groan and drop. Then know me not,
Lest that thy wives with spits and boys with stones [5]
In puny battle slay me.

Enter a Citizen.
