A field of battle.
[Alarum as in battle. Enter, from opposite sides, MARTIUS and AUFIDIUS]
MARTIUS
, ,
, , 2 ,
I'll fight | with none | but thee,| for I do |
hate thee
, 2
, ,
Worse than a | promise-|breaker.
AUFIDIUS
, ,
We hate | alike:
,
, ,
, ,
Not Af|ric owns | a serp|ent I | abhor
,
, ,
, ,
More than | thy fame | and en|vy: fix | thy foot.
MARTIUS
, ,
, ,
,
Let^the / first bud|ger die | the oth|er's slave,
2
, , ,
And the gods | doom him | after. \\
AUFIDIUS
2 ,
, ,
, ,
If I fly | Martius,| holloa | me like | a hare.
MARTIUS
,
T T T ,
oo
Within | these three hours | Tullus |
,
, 2 , ,
,
Alone | I fought | in your Cor|iol|i walls,
, ,
, ,
,
And made | what work | I pleased:| 'tis not | my
blood,
, ,
, ,
,
Wherein | thou seest | me masked,| for thy |
revenge
,
x 2 ,
Wrench^up | thy power | to the high|est.
AUFIDIUS
, 2 ,
->
Wert | thou the Hec||tor,
,
2 , ,
, ,
That | was the whip | of your / bragged pro|geny,
,
2 , ,
Thou shouldst | not escape | me here. \\
[They fight, and certain Volces come to the aid of AUFIDIUS. MARTIUS fights
till they be driven in breathless]
, 2
, , 2 ,
,
Offi|cious and not | valiant,| you have | shamed
me
,
, ,
In your | condem|ned sec|onds. \\
[Exeunt]
