Lords. Hold, hold, hold, hold! AUFIDIUS. My noble masters, hear me speak. First Lord. O Tullus,— SECOND LORD. Thou hast done a deed whereat valour will weep. THIRD LORD. Tread not upon him.—Masters all, be quiet; Put up your swords. AUFIDIUS. My lords, when you shall know,—as in this rage, Provok'd by him, you cannot,—the great danger Which this man's life did owe you, you'll rejoice” source
