Their . . . our instruction Case (Arden Sh.): Schmidt (Lex.) explains ‘instruction’ here as information, citing Ant. & Cleo., V, i, 54, but Lartius's words signify, Let the sound of their activity teach us to play our own part without delay. Nor is the usual sense of instruction necessarily absent from the passage adduced from Ant. & Cleo., ‘The queen . . . Of thy intents desires instruction, That she preparedly may frame herself To the way she's forced to.’
William Shakespeare. Horace Howard Furness, Jr., A. B.; Litt. D. The Tragedie of Coriolanus. Philadelphia and London. J. B. Lippincott Company.
