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,
5     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.
