"Oh, come not near me, sir; I shall defile you.
I am that of your blood was taken from you
For your better health. Look no more upon't
But cast it to the ground regardlessly;
Let the common sewer take it from distinction.
Beneath the stars, upon yon meteor
Ever hung my fate, 'mongst things corruptible;
I ne'er could pluck it from him. My loathing
Was prophet to the rest, bu ne'er believed;
Mine honor fell with him, and now my life."
(The Changeling V.iii.158-67)

Enemies to Chums
I find it very interesting that Aufidius and Coriolanus have become great chums especially since they just finish fighting each other. There does not seem to be any hard feelings ot anything. I believe that this whole friend charade is just that a charade. Someone is using the other. Like mention in a previous post, Aufidius is happy that Coriolanus has seeked him (Aufidius) out. Aufidius will use this change to his advantage and try to attack Rome. I believe that Coriolanus is trying to get back at the Senate for banishing him.
