Amen, Amen
Mene. A Noble wish.
Enter the Edile with the Plebeians.
Sicin. Draw neere ye people
Edile. List to your Tribunes. Audience:
Peace I say
Corio. First heare me speake
Both Tri. Well, say: Peace hoe
Corio. Shall I be charg'd no further then this present?
Must all determine heere?
Sicin. I do demand,
If you submit you to the peoples voices,
Allow their Officers, and are content
To suffer lawfull Censure for such faults
As shall be prou'd vpon you
Corio. I am Content
Mene. Lo Citizens, he sayes he is Content.
The warlike Seruice he ha's done, consider: Thinke
Vpon the wounds his body beares, which shew
Like Graues i'th holy Church-yard
Corio. Scratches with Briars, scarres to moue
Laughter onely
Mene. Consider further:
That when he speakes not like a Citizen,
You finde him like a Soldier: do not take
His rougher Actions for malicious sounds:
But as I say, such as become a Soldier,
Rather then enuy you
Com. Well, well, no more
Corio. What is the matter,
That being past for Consull with full voyce:
I am so dishonour'd, that the very houre
You take it off againe
Sicin. Answer to vs
Corio. Say then: 'tis true, I ought so
Sicin. We charge you, that you haue contriu'd to take
From Rome all season'd Office, and to winde
Your selfe into a power tyrannicall,
For which you are a Traitor to the people
Corio. How? Traytor?
Mene.
