Chapter 10 third act

The first Rome.street Blow the trumpet; Coriolanus, Menenius, Cominius, Titus Latius, the senators, nobles, etc. Coriolanus So Thales? Aufidius has sent troops again? Lacius Yes, my lord; therefore we should deploy with extra speed. Coriolanus said so, and the Volsians still did not give in, and were ready to attack us at any time. Monsieur Cominius, they are exhausted, and we shall never see their banners fly again in our lifetime. Coriolanus Do you see Aufidius? Lacius He came to see me under our guard; and he cursed the Volscians For so cowardly they surrendered.Now he has retired to his resting place.

Coriolanus Did he speak of me? Lacius spoke of it, sir. What did Coriolanus say?Say something? Lacius He said how many times he would have met you sword to sword; in this world you are the one he hates most, and he would spend his fortune if he could find a chance to beat you. Coriolanus Does he live in rest? Lacius yes. Coriolanus I wish to have a chance to find him yonder, and let us vent our mutual hatred.welcome back! Enter Sicinius and Brutus. Coriolanus Look!These two are the tribunes, the mouthpieces of the common people; and I despise them, because they are so insufferable. Sicinius do not go past.

Coriolanus Hey!what does that mean? Danger lies ahead of Brutus, do not pass. Why did Coriolanus change like this? What's the matter with Menenius? COMINIUS Has he not been passed by both nobles and commoners? Brutus Cominius, he did not. Coriolanus Haven't I already got the children's consent? First Senator, two tribunes, stand aside; he must go to the marketplace. The people of Brutus were very angry with him. Sicinius stopped, or everyone would be involved in a commotion. Coriolanus Are you not their shepherds?They will deny what they just said on the spot. Can such a person give them the right to speak?What are you in charge of?Since you are their mouths, why don't you control their teeth?Did you not instruct them?

Menenius be quiet, be quiet. CORIOLANUS This is a deliberate act, all the result of a conspiracy, to bind the will of the nobility.If we tolerate such behavior, we shall have to live with those who are neither capable of governing nor willing to be governed. Brutus Don't say it's a conspiracy.The people shouted that you laughed at them, that you, when you released the grain not long ago, complained, and insulted those who pleaded for the people, saying that they are followers of the times, flatterers, and despicable villains. Coriolanus has long been known. Brutus and some of them don't know yet.

Coriolanus So you told them afterwards? What about Brutus!I tell them! Coriolanus You are well capable of such a thing. BRUTUS As you do, I think I can do a little better than you. Coriolanus Then why should I govern?I swear by the clouds in the sky over there, let me be as worthless as you, and be a tribune with you! Sicinius You show your resentment too openly, and that is why the people are excited.You have lost your way now, and if you want to reach your destination, you must ask the way with a little gentleness, otherwise you will never be a dignified ruler, but a tribune at his side Officer, the same cannot be done.

Menenius Let us be quiet. The people of Cominius must have been used and manipulated.Such strife should not be in Rome; nor should Coriolanus, for his merits, meet such mean-spirited obstacles on his open highway. Coriolanus told me about the grain!That's what I said then, and I can say it again— Menenius needless to say now. When Senator A is in such a conflict of spirits, it is needless to say. Coriolanus I must say.My noble friends, please forgive me.I don't want to compliment this capricious, foul-smelling crowd, let them recognize their own faces.I repeat, we have sowed the seeds of rebellion, insolence, and molestation with our own hands by condescension and condescension to their ranks; The power of the Senate; we are not immoral, let alone powerful, but our power has been given to a group of beggars.

Well, Menenius, stop talking. First Senator, please stop talking. What about Coriolanus!Say no more!I used to be unafraid of external forces and shed blood for my country, and now I will cry out until my lungs burst, warning you to pay attention to those measles that you hate, fear, and are afraid of getting infected, but are trying to attract upper body measles . Brutus You speak of the people as if you were a god who punishes evil, forgetting that you are mortal with their same weaknesses. Sicinius We should make his words known to the people. Menenius What, what?His moment of anger?

Coriolanus was furious for a moment!Even if I were as patient as a midnight sleep, by Joe Wu, I wouldn't change my meaning! Sicinius Your meaning must be kept to poison yourself, not to poison others. Coriolanus must keep it!Did you hear the tall man of the dwarves?Have you noticed his categorical "must" word? Cominius acted as though his word were a divine law. Coriolanus "must"!O good and unwise nobleman!You dignified and reckless senators, why would you allow this many-headed water-serpent to elect a magistrate to speak for the monster, who, with his imperious "must," would boldly declare that he would send your water to the ditch Determined to invade your river for yourself?Let go of your ignorance and wake up from your dangerous tolerance!You are learned people, don't be willing to lay the chairs for them like ordinary fools.If they be senators, you will become commoners; and when their voices mingle with yours, because they are numerous, you will be completely overshadowed and dominated by them.They can choose their own magistrates, like this guy, with his "must," his popular "must," against the most dignified senators.By Qiao Wu himself, the rulers will thus lose their status; and when two powers confront each other, chaos will arise, and it pains me to think of this crisis.

Come Cominius, go to the market place. Coriolanus who authorized the government, made him scatter the storehouses of grain, as was the case in former Greece— Menenius Come, come, don't mention that. Coriolanus Although the Greek people have more power, I say that their behavior is tantamount to cultivating a climate of rebellion and leading to the collapse of the country. Brutus Hey, can the people agree that a man who speaks like this should be in power? Coriolanus I can give better reason than their consent.They know that these grains are not the reward of our title, and they think that no one will take it from their mouths, so they have never worked hard for it.When they were asked to go to war at the critical moment of the country's survival, they were too lazy to even go out of the city gate; when they arrived on the battlefield, they only showed the greatest courage in actions such as rebellion and internal strife; The grain was given to them freely.They often accuse the Senate of unwarranted crimes. Do we give such generous alms because we have received such accusations from them?Well, so what if you give them?Will these blind masses appreciate the kindness of the Senate?Their actions can take the place of their words: "We demanded; we were the majority, and they feared us, so they granted our demands." Thus we debase ourselves, and allow the mob to call our prudence Fear; they are growing bolder, and one day they will open the locks of the Senate, and let a flock of crows fly in and peck at the falcons.

Enough of Menenius, enough. Enough of Brutus, too much has been said. Coriolanus No, listen to me.Regardless of the heaven and the earth, all things that can be sworn by, may they testify for my conclusion!The authority of the elders, the nobles and the common people, one part despises the other part for real reasons, while the other part insults this part for no reason!Status, fame, and wisdom cannot determine whether it is right or wrong, but must depend on the right and wrong of the ignorant masses. This result will inevitably ignore the actual needs and let rash arrogance control everything; It's aimless mischief.I beseech you, therefore, that if your prudence outweighs your fears, if you love the foundations of your country more than you suspect its changes, if you prefer glory to longevity, if you would risk a dangerous bait to a sick body with no hope of life. If you want to try, then hasten to pluck out the tongues of the masses; let them not lick the honey that will poison them.If you are humiliated, the public opinion of right and wrong will be unclear from now on, and the government will lose its due soundness, because it is ruled by evil forces, and all good governance will be unable to be implemented.

BRUTUS He has said enough. Sicinius He speaks the words of a traitor; he must be punished as a traitor. Coriolanus, you wretch!Let you be spurned by everyone!What does the people want such bald tribunes for?Because they trust them, the people will no longer obey those who are higher than them.In times of rebellion, when all unreasonable facts can be arbitrarily made law, then they are the ones who should be admired; Go to the dust. The blatant treason of Brutus! Sicinius Is this still a consul?No. Hello Brutus!Where's the police officer?Arrest him. Enter a police officer. Go, Sicinius, and call the people; (exit the police officer) I arrest you myself in the name of the people, and declare you a traitor to the coup d'état, and an enemy of public happiness; Coriolanus go, old goat! Senators We can vouch for him. Old Cominius, let go. Go off Coriolanus, bastard!Or I'll shake you down bone by bone. Sicinius Citizens, help! A number of police officers and attendants and a group of citizens are the same. Menenius was a little more polite to each other. This man Sicinius wants to take all your powers from you. Brutus Grab him, officers! Citizens, strike him down!Knock him down! —— The Elders (hustle around Coriolanus, screaming) Weapons! --arms! --arms! — Tribune! ——Nobles! --citizens! --Hey! - Sicinius! - Brutus! — Coriolanus! --citizens! --quiet! --quiet! --quiet! ——Wait a minute! --stop! --quiet! What's going to happen with Menenius? ――I can hardly breathe.This mess is not small.I can't even speak.You two tribunes!Coriolanus, be patient!Good Sicinius, speak a word. Sicinius Hear me, gentlemen; be still! Citizens Let us hear our tribunes; be still!Say, say, say. Sicinius You are about to lose your liberty, Marcius will take all from you; Marcius, whom you have just elected to govern. Menenius Ouch, ouch, ouch!This is not to put out the fire, but to add fuel to the fire. First Senator He'll tear our city down to the ground. Sicinius without people, what city is there? Citizens are right, there are people to have a city. BRUTUS We have the consent of all, and take office as governor of the people. Citizens, you continue to be our officers. Menenius and the others may not give up this position. COMINIUS They will tear down the city, destroy the houses to the ground, and bury the neat market in the middle of a heap of rubble. Sicinius deserves the death penalty for a crime like this. Brutus lets us exercise our power or lose it.We now, by the will of the people, declare that Marcius should be punished immediately with death. Sicinius seized him, escorted him to the Dapa Rock, and pushed him down the valley. Brutus Officers, catch him! Citizens, Marcius, bind your hands! Menenius, hear me a word; two tribunes, hear me a word. Police officers be quiet, be quiet! Menenius begs you to be true friends of your country, as you pretend to be; everything can be settled with milder means, why bother so much? If Brutus' illness is serious, only strong medicine will be effective, and caution will miss the big deal.Grab him and lead him to the rock. Coriolanus No, I would rather die here. (drawing swords) Some of you have seen how I fought my enemies; come, try it now yourselves. Menenius lay down that sword!You two tribunes, step back for now. Brutus catch him! MENENIUS Help Marcius, help him, you good men; help him, young and old! Citizens, strike him down! ——Down with him! (In the chaos, tribunes, police officials and the public were all repelled.) Menenius, go to your house; go!Otherwise, everyone will die. Elder B, go quickly. Coriolanus Stand still; we have as many friends as we have enemies. Menenius Shall we fight them? First Senator God bless us from such a thing!Dear friend, please go home and let us try to restore the situation. MENENIUS This is a sore on our body, which you cannot heal yourself; go quickly. Cominius, come with us. Coriolanus I wish they were a bunch of savages, not Romans; though these beasts were born in Rome, and brought up under the temple of Jupiter, Yet they are no different from savages— Menenius, go; put not your face of righteous indignation on your lips. If the Coriolanus were to face each other with dignity, I alone could defeat forty of them. MENENIUS I myself can stand against the pair of chiefs among them, the two tribunes. Cominius is now few and far between; and courage that does not know how to escape when a house is falling down is called folly.Go away, before the mob come back; their wrath is like a dammed water, and when it's over, it'll wash away everything they've carried. Menenius, please go quickly.I'll try my old age's wisdom to see if there's something needy about those mindless things; at any rate, it's going to get over it somehow. COMINIUS Go, go. (Exeunt Coriolanus, Cominius, and others.) First noble This man ruined his own future. MENENIUS His nature is too noble for this world.He would not compliment the might of Neptune's trident, or the power of Jovo's thunder.His heart is in his mouth, whatever comes to his mind must be said.Once he gets angry, he will forget that there is a word of death in the world. (Internal noise) Listen to how loud they are! Second Lord I wish them all to sleep! Menenius I wish they would all throw me into the Tiber!Amazing!Can't he have a nice word for them? Enter Brutus and Sicinius with the rebels. What about the viper that Sicinius would eat the whole city and leave him alone? The two noble tribunes of Menenius— Sicinius We must ruthlessly cast him down the Great Palyan; he has defied the law, so the law need not execute any procedure on him, and since he despises the people, let him know the people the power of. First Citizen We'll let him know that the noble tribune is the mouth of the people, and we are their arms. Citizens, we must make him understand. Menenius, gentlemen, gentlemen— Sicinius Be still! Menenius has something to discuss, why bother to make such a fuss? How could you help him escape, Monsieur Sicinius? Menenius listen to me; I know the merits of this ruler, and I can point out his faults. Sicinius reigns!What governs? Minines Coriolanus reigns. Brutus him!govern! Citizens no, no, no, no, no. MENENIUS If the two tribunes and you good people will allow me, I will ask a word or two, and you will be calm and repent after hearing this. Sicinius so simply; for we have resolved to get rid of this vicious traitor.To drive him out would cause future woe; to stay at home, and we shall all die at his hand; so we resolved to put him to death this very night. MENENIUS Our Rome is famous all over the world for her punishment, and her love for meritorious children is recorded in the books of the gods. If now she devours her like a nature-killing she-beast Kind gods must not allow their own children! Sicinius He is a boil that must be cut. O Menenius!He was a limb with boils, which would kill if cut off, but would be easy to heal.What has he done to Rome that you shall put him to death?He slew our enemies, and shed his blood for his country, and I dare say, he lost more blood than all his blood had; Then no matter who committed such a murderous act, or tolerated such a thing, they will leave a shameful mark on future generations forever. Sicinius This is utter nonsense. Brutus is a fallacy; when he loves his country, his country respects him. If Menenius' military exploits are corrupted, people will lose respect for him. BRUTUS We don't want to tell you any more.Chase him to his house, and drag him out; he's a contagious disease, don't let his poison spread to others. Menenius Hear me one more word, and only one word.Your current actions are all out of momentary anger, just like a tiger out of its guard. When you regret your own menglang, it will be too late to tie heavy lead weights to the tiger's feet.Rather than being reckless, it is better to proceed step by step; otherwise, he is not unsupported, and if this causes internal strife, then the great Rome will be destroyed by the Romans themselves. If so, Brutus— Sicinius What else do you say?Haven't we already seen how he obeyed orders?Hasn't our police officer already been beaten by him?Haven't we ourselves been resisted by him?Come! Menenius begs you to consider this: he has been brought up in battle since he could draw a sword with both hands, and has not been trained in a gentle language; The bran is poured indiscriminately at the same time.If you allow me, I can go to his house, present my interests to him, and ask him to accept a peaceful and legal trial. First Senator, two noble tribunes, This is the most humane way; your old way is too cruel, and you don't know what will lead to it. Sicinius, noble Menenius, then accept the commission of the people and send him.Lay down your weapons, my friends. Brutus don't go back. Sicinius assembled in the marketplace.We are waiting for you there.If you can't bring Marcius, we'll go the old way. MENENIUS I will certainly call him. (to the elders) Please accompany me.He must come, or things will get worse. First Senator Let us go to him. (same below.) The second game is the same as before.A room in Coriolanus Enter Coriolanus and nobles. Coriolanus Let them all tear my ears; let them wheel me, trample me to death, or pile ten hills upon the Great Par Rock, and cast me down the bottomless chasm; I still treat them with this attitude. First nobleman That's where you excel. Coriolanus My mother used to say they were just a sluggish lot that could be bought and sold for a few cents, bald at meetings and heard people of my station talk about When it came to a question of war or peace, she would yawn and be inexplicably silent; I don't think she approves of me very much now. Enter VOLUMNIA. Coriolanus I am speaking of you.why do you want me to be gentleDo you want me to go against my nature?You should say that what I am doing now can show my true backbone. Volunia!Son, son, son, I hope you don't lose your power before the foundation is solid. Coriolanus leave me alone. Volunia, if you hadn't deliberately shown your sharpness in this way, you would already be a hero; when they still have the power to hinder you, if you were less boastful to them, you would also be less likely to encounter some unfavorable things . Coriolanus Let them hang themselves! VOLUMNIA Yes, and I would have them burned in the fire. Enter MENENIUS and SENIOR. Menenius come, come; you are too rough, a little too rough; you must go back and put the situation back together. First Senator There is nothing else to do; if you will not do this, our city will be divided and perish. VOLUMNIA Beg you to be advised.I have a heart as strong as yours, but I also have a mind that taught me to use my anger more appropriately. Menenius Well said, my lady!If it weren't for such an extraordinary change, in order to save the overall situation, I had to take this bad strategy, then I would also wear armor and hold a gun, and I would never endure such shame and let him bow down to the masses. Coriolanus What must I do? Menenius went back to the two tribunes. Good Coriolanus, what else?anything else? Menenius apologizes for your gaffe. Coriolanus apologizes to them!I cannot apologize to the gods; must I apologize to them? VOLUMNIA You are too obstinate; in times of crisis a man ought to be flexible.I have heard you say that honor and cunning are as inseparable as close friends in the midst of war; and supposing this is true, tell me, if in time of peace they are not used together, are they Can't it exist independently? Coriolanus Hey!Hey! Good question Menenius. VOLUMNIA If, in the midst of war, you may resort to cunning and deceit for your ends, and such actions do no harm to honor, then in time of peace, in case, as in war, cunning is needed , why can't it go hand in hand with honor? Coriolanus Why do you force me to accept this reason? VOLUMNIA For now you must go and speak to the people; not as you will, but to speak to them things that are quite contrary to your heart.What harm will it do your honor to speak to the people of a city that you may soothe with gentle words, lest you risk your fate, and shed much blood?If my property and my friends were at stake, and I needed to preserve them by deceit, I would do it without shame; I represent your wife, your son, These senators and nobles give you this advice; but you would rather glare at these ignorant mobs than make a lie to win their favor and love, which is to preserve your honor and position necessary safeguards. Lady Menenius!Come, come with us; say a kind word; and perhaps you will not only alleviate the present danger, but redeem past mistakes. Volumnia, my child, go to them now, take this hat in your hand, kiss the masonry on your knees, shake your head, restrain your strong heart, let it be Be as humble as a crumbling overripe mulberry; In such matters deeds often speak louder than words, and fools' eyes are wiser than their ears.You can tell them that you are their soldier, because you grew up in the hustle and bustle, and you don't know the etiquette to win their favor; but from now on, when you are in power, you will definitely devote yourself to them . MENENIUS Just say what she said, and their heart is yours; For their pardon is as easy as their babbling. Volumnia, take our advice, and go; though I know you would rather pursue your enemy in the chasm of fire than flatter him in the bedroom.Here comes Cominius. Enter Cominius. COMINIUS I have been to the market.You must now combine powerful aid, or save yourself with gentleness, or flee temporarily to hide from their sharp edge.All the people were outraged. Only humble words from Menenius could salvage the situation. COMINIUS If he can manage to restrain his temper, I think that is the way. VOLUMNIA He must, must.Please say you are willing to do this, and do it now. Coriolanus Must I show them my bald head?Must I, with my shameless tongue, lay a lie upon my noble heart?OK, I do.But if this strategy fails, they will grind the body of Marcius to powder and throw it away in the wind.to the market!You are forcing me to do one thing now, and the shame of it is something I cannot wash away in my life. COMINIUS Come, come, we will help you. Dear son of Volumnia, you once said that you were a soldier because of my reward; now accept my reward and do something you have never done. Good Coriolanus, I'll go then.Away, my haughty temper, let a whore's soul occupy my body!Let my voice that beats with drums be shrill as an eunuch, soft as a maiden's song to lull babes to sleep!Let the treacherous smile hang on my cheeks, and let the schoolboy's tears cloud my eyes!Let the beggar's tongue turn between my lips, and the knees of my armor astride the saddle bend as if to receive an alms!No, I would not; I feared that I should lose respect for myself, that by doing so my body might imbue my spirit with an inescapable meanness. VOLUMNIA So do as you please.It is a greater shame for me to ask you than it is for you to ask them.All to perdition; let thy mother feel thy pride, Thou shalt not fear thy perilous obstinacy, For with a heart as mighty as thy laugh death I laugh.Do what you please; take your courage from me, and your pride your own. Coriolanus Be at ease, mother, I'll go to the market; don't scold me.I will deceive them, and when I return I shall be loved by all the craftsmen of Rome.Lo and behold, here I go.Hats off to my wife for me.I must come back as a ruler, otherwise you will never believe that my tongue can flatter others. VOLUMNIA Do as you say. (Down.) Go Cominius!The tribunes are waiting for you.Be ready for mild replies; for I have heard they are going to bring you some more serious charges than they are now laying upon you. Menenius remembered the word "moderate". Coriolanus Let us go; whatever crimes they make up of me, I'll answer them with my honor. MENENIUS Yes, but be gentle. Good Coriolanus, be gentle, then.mild! (same below.) The third game is the same as before.Big market Enter Sicinius and Brutus. BRUTUS We say he seeks dictatorship, and that is his chief crime; and if he can excuse himself on this point, we say he is hostile to the people, and that he takes what he got from the Parthians The spoils of war filled their own pockets. Enter a police officer. Brutus, will he come? The police officer came. Brutus Who is with him? Sergeant old Menenius and those senators who have always stood by him. Sicinius, have you recorded the number of votes we got? Sergeant I've made a note here. Sicinius Did you consult them by tribe? I have consulted the police officers separately. Sicinius, summon the people here at once; and when they hear me say, "By the right and power of the people, it must be so and so," whether it be death, fine, or banishment, if I say "fine," Just let them shout "fine" after me; if I say "death penalty", let them shout "death penalty" after me. Sergeant I will order them so. Sicinius When they begin to cry, let them continue, and clamor loudly and wildly, that our sentence be carried out at once. The police officer is fine. Sicinius told them to be mindful of what we say and do, and not to back down. Brutus Go to your business. (Officer exits) His anger was aroused all at once.He has always been used to conquering others and is prone to quarrels; once he is rebelled, he can't control his temper. At that time, he will say what is on his mind, and we can see his weakness and kill him. Sicinius Well, here he comes. Enter Coriolanus, Menenius, Cominius, and Senators. Menenius, please be gentle. Well, Coriolanus, like a groom, Willing to run for any villain for a small reward.May the honorable gods keep Rome safe, and let virtuous gentlemen be our enforcers!Sow the seeds of love among us, fill our great temples with peace, and let not our streets be disturbed by war! First Senator Amen, Amen. What a noble wish Menenius! The police officers and the citizens waited to re-enter. Come Sicinius, people. Officers Listen to your tribunes; Hush! Coriolanus, listen to me first. Sicinius Brutus Well, speak.Hey, calm down! Coriolanus Will you declare my guilt at this very moment?Does everything have to be decided here? Sicinius I ask you to answer, will you obey the general will of the people, recognize the power of their officials, and accept the legal punishment when your crime is convicted? Coriolanus I will. Listen, Menenius!Citizens, he said he would.Think about how many military exploits he has made; think about the scars on his body, as many as the tombs on the cemetery. The scars of Coriolanus are but scratches from thorns, and these little scars are just for laughing. Menenius think again, what he said is not a citizen's status, but it is still a soldier's speech; don't take his rough tone as malicious words, it is his soldier's true nature, not hostile to you . COMINIUS Well, well, say no more. Coriolanus For what reason, after I have been unanimously elected to power, you immediately revoke the original motion, and give me this humiliation? Sicinius answers us. Coriolanus Well, speak; it is my duty to answer you. Sicinius, you have attempted to overthrow all the long-established regimes of Rome and create a personal dictatorship, so we declare you a traitor to the people. What about Coriolanus!traitor! Menenius No, be gentle, you promised. The fires of the underworld of Coriolanus have swallowed up these peoples!Call me their traitor!You wicked tribune!There are twenty thousand deaths in your eyes, twenty million murderous schemes in your hands, countless murderous schemes in your lying tongue, I will use a voice as frank as I pray to the gods , says to you, "You lie!" People of Sicinius, did you hear his words? All the citizens sent him to the rocks!把他送到山岩上去！ 西西涅斯静！我们不必再把新的罪名加在他的身上；你们亲眼看见他所作的事，亲耳听见他所说的话：殴打你们的官吏，辱骂你们自己，用暴力抗拒法律，现在他又公然藐视那些凭着他们的权力审判他的人，像这样罪大恶极的行为，已经应处最严重的死刑了。 勃鲁托斯可是他既然为罗马立过功劳―― 科利奥兰纳斯你们还要讲什么功劳？ 勃鲁托斯我提起这一点，因为我知道你的功劳。 科利奥兰纳斯你！ 米尼涅斯你怎样答应你的母亲的？ 考密涅斯你要知道―― 科利奥兰纳斯我不要知道什么。让他们宣判把我投身在高峻的大帕岩下，放逐，鞭打，每天给我吃一粒谷监禁起来，我也不愿用一句好话的代价购买他们的慈悲，更不愿为了乞讨他们的布施而抑制我的雄心，向他们道一声早安。 西西涅斯因为他不但在思想上，而且在行动上不断敌对人民，企图剥夺他们的权力，到现在他居然擅敢在尊严的法律和执法的官吏之前，行使暴力反抗的手段，所以我们用人民的名义，秉着我们护民官的职权，宣布从即时起，把他放逐出我们的城市，要是以后他再进入罗马境内，就要把他投身在大帕岩下。用人民的名义，我说，这判决必须实行。 众市民这判决必须实行――这判决必须实行――把他赶出去！――把他放逐出境！ 考密涅斯听我说，各位人民大众―― 西西涅斯他已经受到判决；没有什么说的了。 考密涅斯让我说句话。我自己也曾当过执政；我可以向罗马公开展示她的敌人加在我身上的伤痕；我重视祖国的利益，甚于自己的生命和我所珍爱的儿女；要是我说―― 西西涅斯我们知道你的意思；说什么？ 勃鲁托斯不必多说，他已经被当作人民和祖国的敌人而放逐了；这判决必须实行。 众市民这判决必须实行――这判决必须实行。 科利奥兰纳斯你们这些狂吠的贱狗！我痛恨你们的气息，就像痛恨恶臭的沼泽的臭味一样；我轻视你们的好感，就像厌恶腐烂的露骨的尸骸一样。我驱逐了你们；让你们和你们那游移无定的性格永远留在这里吧！让每一句轻微的谣言震动你们的心，你们敌人帽上羽毛的摇闪，就会把你们掮进绝望的深渊！永远保留着把你们的保卫者放逐出境的权力吧，直到最后让你们自己的愚昧觉得人家已经不费一刀一枪，使你们成为最微贱的俘虏！对于你们，对于这一个城市，我只有蔑视；我这样离开你们，这世界上什么地方没有我的安身之处。（科利奥兰纳斯、考密涅斯、米尼涅斯、元老、贵族等同下。） 警吏人民的仇敌已经去了，已经去了！ 众市民我们的敌人已经被放逐了！ ――他去了！ ――呵！Ah! （众欢呼，掷帽。） 西西涅斯去，把他赶出城门，像他从前驱逐你们一样驱逐他，尽量发泄你们的愤怒，让他也难堪难堪。让一队卫士卫护我们通过全城。 众市民来，来――让我们把他赶出城门！Come!神明保佑我们尊贵的护民官！Come!
