     Act I 

    
    ACT I: SCENE VII	The gates of Corioli.

    
    	TITUS LARTIUS, having set a guard upon
    	Corioli, going with drum and trumpet toward
    	COMINIUS and CAIUS MARCIUS, enters with
    	Lieutenant, other Soldiers, and a Scout
    
    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	Hence, and shut your gates upon's.
    	Our guider, come; to the Roman camp conduct us.
    
    	Exeunt
