The Tragedy of Coriolanus: Act 5 Scene 5

Scene V The same. A street near the gate.

[Enter two Senators with VOLUMNIA, VIRGILIA,

VALERIA, &c. passing over the stage,

followed by Patricians and others]

FIRST SENATOR

Behold our patroness, the life of Rome!

Call all your tribes together, praise the gods,

And make triumphant fires; strew flowers before them:

Unshout the noise that banish'd Marcius,

Repeal him with the welcome of his mother;

Cry 'Welcome, ladies, welcome!'

ALL

Welcome, ladies, Welcome!

[A flourish with drums and trumpets. Exeunt]
