as you are, against 'em: know you me yet?	4.3.5

Roman. There hath been in Rome strange insurrections; the	4.3.13
people against the senators, patricians, and nobles.	4.3.14
	Main play link

Roman. The main blaze of it is past, but a small thing	4.3.18
would make it flame again: for the nobles receive	4.3.19
so to heart the banishment of that worthy	4.3.20
Coriolanus, that they are in a ripe aptness to take	4.3.21
all power from the people and to pluck from them	4.3.22
their tribunes for ever. This lies glowing, I can	4.3.23
tell you, and is almost mature for the violent	4.3.24
breaking out.	4.3.25

Roman. The day serves well for them now. I have heard it	4.3.29
said, the fittest time to corrupt a man's wife is	4.3.30
when she's fallen out with her husband. Your noble	4.3.31
Tullus Aufidius will appear well in these wars, his	4.3.32
great opposer, Coriolanus, being now in no request	4.3.33
of his country.	4.3.34

Roman. I shall, between this and supper, tell you most	4.3.38
strange things from Rome; all tending to the good of	4.3.39
their adversaries. Have you an army ready, say you?	4.3.40
	Main play link

Roman. I am joyful to hear of their readiness, and am the	4.3.44
man, I think, that shall set them in present action.	4.3.45
So, sir, heartily well met, and most glad of your company.	4.3.46
	Main play link

Roman. Well, let us go together.	4.3.49
Exeunt
