NOTES.Transcriber's Notes:

Enter two Senators with Volumnia, Virgilia, Valeria, &c. passing over the stage, followed by Patricians and others.[3862]

First Sen. Behold our patroness, the life of Rome![3863] Call all your tribes together, praise the gods,[3864] And make triumphant fires; strew flowers before them:[3865] Unshout the noise that banish'd Marcius,[3866] Repeal him with the welcome of his mother; 5 Cry 'Welcome, ladies, welcome!' All. Welcome, ladies,[3867] Welcome! [A flourish with drums and trumpets. Exeunt.[3867][3868]
