Coriolanus

Act 1, Scene 7

Modern spelling. Stage directions omitted.

Listen to Act 1. LibriVox volunteers recorded “Act 1” as one track, so it runs past this scene and includes stage directions this page leaves out. LibriVox catalog.

LARTIUS

So, let the ports be guarded. Keep your duties
As I have set them down. If I do send, dispatch
Those centuries to our aid; the rest will serve
For a short holding. If we lose the field,
We cannot keep the town.

LIEUTENANT

Fear not our care, sir.

LARTIUS

, and shut your gates upon’s.
Our guider, come. To th’ Roman camp conduct us.
