SCENE VI. Rome. A public place.

Enter SICINIUS and BRUTUS

SICINIUS
We hear not of him, neither need we fear him;
His remedies are tame i' the present peace
And quietness of the people, which before
Were in wild hurry. Here do we make his friends
Blush that the world goes well, who rather had,
Though they themselves did suffer by't, behold
Dissentious numbers pestering streets than see
Our tradesmen with in their shops and going
About their functions friendly.

BRUTUS
We stood to't in good time.

Enter MENENIUS

Is this Menenius?

SICINIUS
'Tis he,'tis he: O, he is grown most kind of late.

BOTH TRIBUNES
Hail sir!
