Coriolanus Quote
Volscian Lieutenant: How not your own desires?
Coriolanus: No sir, 'twas never my desire yet to trouble the poor with begging.
Volscian Lieutenant: You must think, if we give you any thing, we hope to gain by you.
Coriolanus: Well then, I pray, your price of the consulship?
Emsemble: The price is to ask it kindly.
Coriolanus: [With resentful sarcasm]Kindly? Madam, I pray... let me have it! [Snaps his fingers]
Coriolanus: I have wounds to show you, which shall be yours in private. [Looks to citizen]
Coriolanus: Your good voice, sir. What say you? A match, sir. So there's in all two worthy voices begged. [Citizen walks away]
Coriolanus: Adieu. [Another citizen approaches]
Coriolanus: Pray you now, if it may stand with the tune of your voices that I may be consul, I have here the customary gown.
Ensemble: You have deserved nobly of your country and you have not deserved nobly.
Coriolanus: Your enigma?
Ensemble: You have been a scourge to your enemies, a rod to her friends. You have not, indeed, loved the common people.
Coriolanus: You should account me the more virtuous that I have not been common in my love. I will, sir, flatter my sworn brother, the people, to earn a dearer estimation of them. 'Tis a condition they account gentle. And since wisdom of their choice is rather to have my hat than my heart I will practice the insinuating nod and be off to them most counterfeitly. Indeed, I may be consul.
Valeria: You have received many wounds for your country.
Coriolanus: I will not not seal your knowledge with showing them. [Plucks the voucher sarcastically]
Coriolanus: I will make much of your voices, and so trouble you no further. [Coriolanus and citizen laugh, he with contention]
