17812 Ple. Most Noble Caesar, wee'l reuenge his death.

17823 Ple. O Royall Caesar.

1783Ant. Heare me with patience.

1784All. Peace hoe

1785Ant. Moreouer, he hath left you all his Walkes,

1786His priuate Arbors, and new-planted Orchards,

1787On this side Tyber, he hath left them you,

1788And to your heyres for euer: common pleasures

1789To walke abroad, and recreate your selues.

1790Heere was a Caesar: when comes such another?

17911. Ple. Neuer, neuer: come, away, away:

1792Wee'l burne his body in the holy place,

1793And with the Brands fire the Traitors houses.

1794Take vp the body.

17952. Ple. Go fetch fire.

17963. Ple. Plucke downe Benches.

17974. Ple. Plucke downe Formes, Windowes, any thing.

1799Ant. Now let it worke: Mischeefe thou art a-foot,

1800Take thou what course thou wilt.

1801How now Fellow?

1803Ser. Sir, Octauius is already come to Rome.

1804Ant. Where is hee?

1805Ser. He and Lepidus are at Caesars house.

1806Ant. And thither will I straight, to visit him:

1807He comes vpon a wish. Fortune is merry,

1808And in this mood will giue vs any thing.

1809Ser. I heard him say, Brutus and Cassius

1810Are rid like Madmen through the Gates of Rome.

1811Ant. Belike they had some notice of the people

1812How I had moued them. Bring me to Octauius. Exeunt

1814Cinna. I dreamt to night, that I did feast with Caesar,

1815And things vnluckily charge my Fantasie:

1816I haue no will to wander foorth of doores,

1817Yet something leads me foorth.

18181. What is your name?

18192. Whether are you going?

18203. Where do you dwell?

18214. Are you a married man, or a Batchellor?

18222. Answer euery man directly.

18231. I, and breefely.

18244. I, and wisely.

18253. I, and truly, you were best.

1826Cin. What is my name? Whether am I going? Where

1827do I dwell? Am I a married man, or a Batchellour? Then

1828to answer euery man, directly and breefely, wisely and

1829truly: wisely I say, I am a Batchellor.

18302 That's as much as to say, they are fooles that mar-

1831rie: you'l beare me a bang for that I feare: proceede di-

1832rectly.

1833Cinna. Directly I am going to Caesars Funerall.

18341. As a Friend, or an Enemy?

1835Cinna. As a friend.

18362. That matter is answered directly.

18374. For your dwelling: breefely.

1838Cinna. Breefely, I dwell by the Capitoll.

18393. Your name sir, truly.

1840Cinna. Truly, my name is Cinna.

18411. Teare him to peeces, hee's a Conspirator.

1842Cinna. I am Cinna the Poet, I am Cinna the Poet.

18434. Teare him for his bad verses, teare him for his bad

1844Verses.

1845Cin. I am not Cinna the Conspirator.

18464. It is no matter, his name's Cinna, plucke but his

1847name out of his heart, and turne him going.

18483. Teare him, tear him; Come Brands hoe, Firebrands:

1849to Brutus, to Cassius, burne all. Some to Decius House,

1850and some to Caska's; some to Ligarius: Away, go.

1854Ant. These many then shall die, their names are prickt

1855Octa. Your Brother too must dye: consent you Lepidus?

1856Lep. I do consent.

1857Octa. Pricke him downe Antony.

1858Lep. Vpon condition Publius shall not liue,

1859Who is your Sisters sonne, Marke Antony.

1860Ant. He shall not liue; looke, with a spot I dam him.

1861But Lepidus, go you to Caesars house:

1862Fetch the Will hither, and we shall determine

1863How to cut off some charge in Legacies.

1864Lep. What? shall I finde you heere?

1865Octa. Or heere, or at the Capitoll. Exit Lepidus

1866Ant. This is a slight vnmeritable man,

1867Meet to be sent on Errands: is it fit

1868The three-fold World diuided, he should stand

1869One of the three to share it?

1870Octa. So you thought him,

1871And tooke his voyce who should be prickt to dye

1872In our blacke Sentence and Proscription.

1873Ant. Octauius, I haue seene more dayes then you,

1874And though we lay these Honours on this man,

1875To ease our selues of diuers sland'rous loads,

1876He shall but beare them, as the Asse beares Gold,

1877To groane and swet vnder the Businesse,

1878Either led or driuen, as we point the way:

1879And hauing brought our Treasure, where we will,

1880Then take we downe his Load, and turne him off

1881(Like to the empty Asse) to shake his eares,

1882And graze in Commons.

1883Octa. You may do your will:

1884But hee's a tried, and valiant Souldier.

1885Ant. So is my Horse Octauius, and for that

1886I do appoint him store of Prouender.

1887It is a Creature that I teach to fight,

1888To winde, to stop, to run directly on:

1889His corporall Motion, gouern'd by my Spirit,

1890And in some taste, is Lepidus but so:

1891He must be taught, and train'd, and bid go forth:

1892A barren spirited Fellow; one that feeds

1893On Obiects, Arts, and Imitations.

1894Which out of vse, and stal'de by other men

1895Begin his fashion. Do not talke of him,

1896But as a property: and now Octauius,

1897Listen great things. Brutus and Cassius

1898Are leuying Powers; We must straight make head:

1899Therefore let our Alliance be combin'd,

1900Our best Friends made, our meanes stretcht,

1901And let vs presently go sit in Councell,

1902How couert matters may be best disclos'd,

1903And open Perils surest answered.

1904Octa. Let vs do so: for we are at the stake,

ll2 And
