O' my word, the father's son: I'll swear,'tis a
very pretty boy. O' my troth, I looked upon him o'
Wednesday half an hour together: has such a
confirmed countenance. I saw him run after a gilded
butterfly: and when he caught it, he let it go
again; and after it again; and over and over he
comes, and again; catched it again; or whether his
fall enraged him, or how 'twas, he did so set his
teeth and tear it; O, I warrant it, how he mammocked
it!
-
Volumnia. He had rather see the swords, and hear a drum, than
look upon his school-master.

Come, lay aside your stitchery; I must have you play

Fie, you confine yourself most unreasonably: come,
you must go visit the good lady that lies in.
-
Virgilia. Indeed, no, by your patience; I'll not over the
threshold till my lord return from the wars.
Valeria. Fie, you confine yourself most unreasonably: come,
you must go visit the good lady that lies in.

-
You would be another Penelope: yet, they say, all
the yarn she spun in Ulysses' absence did but fill
Ithaca full of moths. Come; I would your cambric
were sensible as your finger, that you might leave
pricking it for pity. Come, you shall go with us.
-
Virgilia. 'Tis not to save labour, nor that I want love.
Valeria. You would be another Penelope: yet, they say, all
the yarn she spun in Ulysses' absence did but fill
Ithaca full of moths. Come; I would your cambric
were sensible as your finger, that you might leave
pricking it for pity. Come, you shall go with us.

In earnest, it's true; I heard a senator speak it.
Thus it is: the Volsces have an army forth; against
whom Cominius the general is gone, with one part of
our Roman power: your lord and Titus TITUS are set
down before their city Corioli; they nothing doubt
prevailing and to make it brief wars. This is true,
on mine honour; and so, I pray, go with us.

Virgilia. Indeed, madam?

disease our better mirth.

Volumnia. Good ladies, let's go. Yes, yes, yes; the senate
has letters from the general, wherein he gives my
son the whole name of the war: he hath in this
action outdone his former deeds doubly
Valeria. In troth, there's wondrous things spoke of him.
