SCENE VIII. The Field of Battle. Alarum. Enter Marcius, and Aufidius.

Mar.
I'll fight with none but thee; for I do hate thee
Worse than a promise-breaker.

Auf.
We hate alike;
Not Africk owns a serpent, I abhor
More than thy fame and envy: Fix thy foot.

Mar.
Let the first budger die the other's slave,
And the gods doom him after!

Auf.
If I fly, Marcius,
Halloo me like a hare.

Mar.
Within these three hours, Tullus,
Alone I fought in your Corioli walls,
And made what work I pleas'd: 'Tis not my blood,
Wherein thou seest me mask'd; for thy revenge,
Wrench up thy power to the highest.

Auf.

Wert thou the Hector,
That was the whip of your bragg'd progeny,
Thou should'st not scape me here.— [Here they fight, and certain Volces come to the aid of Aufidius. Marcius fights till they be driven in breathless.

Officious, and not valiant!—5 note

you have sham'd me
In your condemned seconds. [Exeunt fighting.
