CORIOLANUS
SCENE I. Rome. A street
Enter pany of mutinous citizens, with staves, clubs, and other
weapons
FIRST CITIZEN. Before we proceed any further, hear me speak.
ALL. Speak, speak. FIRST CITIZEN. You are all resolv'd rather to die
than to famish? ALL. Resolv'd, resolv'd. FIRST CITIZEN. First, you
know Caius Marcius is chief enemy to the people. ALL. We know't, we
know't. FIRST CITIZEN. Let us kill him, and we'll have corn at our own
price. Is't a verdict? ALL. No more talking on't; let it be done. Away, away!
SECOND CITIZEN. One word, good citizens. FIRST CITIZEN. We are
accounted poor citizens, the patricians good. What authority surfeits on
would relieve us; if they would yield us but the superfluity while it were
wholesome, we might guess they relieved us humanely; but they think we
are too dear. The leanness that afflicts us, the object of our misery, is as an
inventory to particularize their abundance; our sufferance is a gain to
them. Let us revenge this with our pikes ere we e rakes; for the gods
know I speak this in hunger for bread, not in thirst for revenge. SECOND
