of the beastly plebeians: I will be bold to take my leave of you. How now, my as fair as noble ladies,--and the moon, were she earthly, no nobler,--whither do you follow your eyes so fast? Honourable Menenius, my boy Marcius approaches; for the love of Juno, let's go. Ha! Marcius coming home! Ay, worthy Menenius; and with most prosperous approbation. Take my cap, Jupiter, and I thank thee. Hoo! Marcius coming home! Nay,'tis true. Look, here's a letter from him: the state hath another, his wife another; and, I think, there's one at home for you.
