Act 1, scene 7

⌜Scene 7⌝

Synopsis:

Having secured Corioles, Lartius leaves to join Cominius.

Titus Lartius, having set a guard upon Corioles, going
with Drum and Trumpet toward Cominius and Caius
Martius, enters with a Lieutenant, other Soldiers,
and a Scout.

LARTIUS 
0707  So, let the ports be guarded. Keep your duties
0708  As I have set them down. If I do send, dispatch
0709  Those centuries to our aid; the rest will serve
p. 57
0710  For a short holding. If we lose the field,
0711 5 We cannot keep the town.
LIEUTENANT  0712  Fear not our care, sir.
LARTIUS  0713 Hence, and shut your gates upon ’s.
0714  ⌜(To the Scout.)⌝ Our guider, come. To th’ Roman
0715  camp conduct us.
⌜They⌝ exit, ⌜the Lieutenant one way, Lartius another.⌝
