General Cominius: The news is the Volsces are in arms. They have a leader, Tullus Aufidius, that'll put you to it.

Caius Martius Coriolanus: I sin in envying his nobility. And were I anything but what I am, I wish me only he.

1st Senator: You have fought together?

Caius Martius Coriolanus: He is a lion that I am proud to hunt.

Tullus Aufidius: Five times, Martius, I have fought with thee. So often has thou beat me, and would do so, I fear, should we encounter as often as we eat. For where I thought to crush him in an equal force, true sword to sword, I'll potch at him some way. Or wrath or craft may get him.

Volsce Lieutenant: He's the devil.

Tullus Aufidius: Bolder, though not so subtle. Nor sleep, nor sanctuary, being naked, sick, the prayers of priests, nor times of sacrifice shall lift up their rotten privilege and custom against my hate to Martius. Where I find him, were it at home, upon my brother's guard, even there, will I wash my fierce hand in his heart.
