Third
Citizen. He
said he had wounds, which he could show 1
in
private;
And
with his hat, thus waving it in scorn,
'I
would be consul,' says he: 'aged custom,
But
by your voices, will not so permit me; 5
Your
voices therefore.' When we granted that,
Here
was 'I thank you for your voices: thank you:
Your
most sweet voices: now you have left
your
voices,
I
have no further with you.' Was not this mockery? 10
Sicinius
Velutus. Why
either were you ignorant to see't,
Or,
seeing it, of such childish friendliness
To
yield your voices?
Junius
Brutus.
Could you not have told him
As
you were lesson'd, when he had no power, 15
But
was a petty servant to the state,
He
was your enemy, ever spake against
Your
liberties and the charters that you bear
I'
the body of the weal; and now, arriving
A
place of potency and sway o' the state, 20
If
he should still malignantly remain
Fast
foe to the plebeii, your voices might
Be
curses to yourselves? You should have said
That
as his worthy deeds did claim no less
Than
what he stood for, so his gracious nature 25
Would
think upon you for your voices and
Translate
his malice towards you into love,
Standing
your friendly lord.
Sicinius
Velutus.
Thus to have said,
As
you were fore-advised, had touch'd his spirit 30
And
tried his inclination; from him pluck'd
Either
his gracious promise, which you might,
As
cause had call'd you up, have held him to
Or
else it would have gall'd his surly nature,
Which
easily endures not article 35
Tying
him to aught; so putting him to rage,
You
should have ta'en the advantage of his choler
And
pass'd him unelected.
Junius
Brutus. Did
you perceive
He
did solicit you in free contempt 40
When
he did need your loves, and do you think
That
his contempt shall not be bruising to you,
When
he hath power to crush? Why, had your bodies
No
heart among you? or had you tongues to cry
Against
the rectorship of judgment? 45
