You are sent for to the senate:
4.6.96
A fearful army, led by Caius Marcius
4.6.97
Associated with Aufidius, rages
4.6.98
Upon our territories; and have already
4.6.99
O'erborne their way, consumed with fire, and took
4.6.100
What lay before them.

Good news, good news; the ladies have prevail'd,
5.4.42
The Volscians are dislodged, and Marcius gone:
5.4.43
A merrier day did never yet greet Rome,
5.4.44
No, not the expulsion of the Tarquins.
5.4.45

As certain as I know the sun is fire:
5.4.48
Where have you lurk'd, that you make doubt of it?
5.4.49
Ne'er through an arch so hurried the blown tide,
5.4.50
As the recomforted through the gates. Why, hark you!
5.4.51
Trumpets; hautboys; drums beat; all together
The trumpets, sackbuts, psalteries and fifes,
5.4.52
Tabours and cymbals and the shouting Romans,
5.4.53
Make the sun dance. Hark you!
5.4.54
A shout within
