Act V Scene 3 of Shakespeare's Coriolanus:

VOLUMNIA

To his surname Coriolanus 'longs more pride Than pity to our prayers. Down: an end; This is the last.—So we will home to Rome, And die among our neighbours.—Nay, behold's: This boy, that cannot tell what he would have But kneels and holds up hands for fellowship, Does reason our petition with more strength Than thou hast to deny't.—Come, let us go.
