Scene VII. The gates of Corioli.[2713]

Titus Lartius, having set a guard upon Corioli, going with drum and trumpet toward Cominius and Caius Marcius, enters with a Lieutenant, other Soldiers, and a Scout.

Lart. So, let the ports be guarded: keep your duties, As I have set them down. If I do send, dispatch[2714] Those centuries to our aid; the rest will serve[2715] For a short holding: if we lose the field, We cannot keep the town.[2716] Lieu. Fear not our care, sir.[2716] 5 Lart. Hence, and shut your gates upon 's.[2716][2717] Our guider, come; to the Roman camp conduct us. [Exeunt.[2716][2718]
