weigh Anon. (Times Literary Supplement, July 27, 1922, p. 482): For some inscrutable reason the dash of the Folio has been replaced by a full stop [see Text. Notes]. Dashes to mark interruption are not so plentiful in the Folio that we can afford to throw them away. Menenius, as ever, tries to stop Coriolanus from his furious outburst. We could supply Coriolanus's unspoken words from this very play. Probably they were, ‘That's lesser than a little!’
