SCENE VIII. A Field of Battle between the Roman and the Volscian Camps. Alarum. Enter Marcius and Aufidius5 note.

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

Auf.
We hate alike:
Not Afric owns a serpent, I abhor

-- 166 --


More than thy fame and envy. 11Q0866 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.— [They fight, and certain Volsces come to the aid of Aufidius.
Officious, and not valiant—you have sham'd me
In your condemned seconds. [Exeunt fighting, all driven in by Marcius.
