Coriolanus
[I, 6]

Cominius

678

As I guess, CORIOLANUS,
Their bands i' the vaward are the Antiates,
Of their best trust; o'er them Aufidius,
Their very heart of hope.

Coriolanus
[II, 2]

Junius Brutus

1312

Sir, I hope
My words disbench'd you not.

Coriolanus
[II, 3]

Third Citizen

1504

You must think, if we give you any thing, we hope to
gain by you.

Coriolanus
[II, 3]

Fifth Citizen

We hope to find you our friend; and therefore give
you our voices heartily.

Coriolanus
[IV, 3]

Volsce

2678

Hath been! is it ended, then? Our state thinks not
so: they are in a most warlike preparation, and
hope to come upon them in the heat of their division.

Coriolanus
[IV, 5]

Third Servingman

Reason; because they then less need one another.
The wars for my money. I hope to see Romans as cheap
as Volscians. They are rising, they are rising.

Coriolanus
[V, 1]

Cominius

3354

I tell you, he does sit in gold, his eye
Red as 'twould burn Rome; and his injury
The gaoler to his pity. I kneel'd before him;
'Twas very faintly he said 'Rise;' dismiss'd me
Thus, with his speechless hand: what he would do,
He sent in writing after me; what he would not,
Bound with an oath to yield to his conditions:
So that all hope is vain.
Unless his noble mother, and his wife;
Who, as I hear, mean to solicit him
For mercy to his country. Therefore, let's hence,
And with our fair entreaties haste them on.

Coriolanus
[V, 4]

Menenius Agrippa

3733

If it be possible for you to displace it with your
little finger, there is some hope the ladies of
Rome, especially his mother, may prevail with him.
But I say there is no hope in't: our throats are
sentenced and stay upon execution.
