Description
English: Act V Scene 3 of Shakespeare's Coriolanus:

VOLUMNIA

Say my request's unjust,
And spurn me back: but if it be not so,
Thou art not honest; and the gods will plague thee,
That thou restrain'st from me the duty which
To a mother's part belongs.—He turns away:
Down, ladies: let us shame him with our knees.
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.
Français : Gravure illustrant la tragédie Coriolan, de William Shakespeare, acte V, Scène 3 (Traduction De M. Guizot):

VOLUMNIE

Dis que ma requête est injuste, et chasse-moi avec mépris de ta présence; mais si elle ne l'est pas, tu manques à ton devoir, et les dieux te puniront de me refuser la déférence qui est due à une mère.
Il se détourne de nous. À genoux, femmes; faisons-lui honte de cette humiliation.
Sans doute il doit bien plus d'orgueil à son surnom, de Coriolan, que de pitié à nos prières. Fléchissons encore une fois le genou devant lui; ce sera notre dernière supplication, et puis nous allons retourner dans Rome, et mourir parmi nos concitoyens,
Ah! du moins, daigne nous accorder un regard. Ce jeune enfant, qui ne peut exprimer ce qu'il voudrait dire, mais qui tombe à genoux et tend ses mains vers toi pour nous imiter, appuie notre demande de raisons plus fortes que tu n'en as de la refuser.
Allons, partons.
