ACT I
SCENE VII The gates of Corioli.


 [TITUS LARTIUS, having set a guard upon
 Corioli, going with drum and trumpet toward
 COMINIUS and CAIUS MARCIUS, enters with
 Lieutenant, other Soldiers, and a Scout]

LARTIUS So, let the ports be guarded: keep your duties,
 As I have set them down. If I do send, dispatch
 Those centuries to our aid: the rest will serve
 For a short holding: if we lose the field,
 We cannot keep the town.

Lieutenant Fear not our care, sir.

LARTIUS Hence, and shut your gates upon's.
 Our guider, come; to the Roman camp conduct us.

 [Exeunt]




 CORIOLANUS
