1910Bru. Stand ho.

1911Lucil. Giue the word ho, and Stand.

1912Bru. What now Lucillius, is Cassius neere?

1913Lucil. He is at hand, and Pindarus is come

1914To do you salutation from his Master.

1915Bru. He greets me well. Your Master Pindarus

1916In his owne change, or by ill Officers,

1917Hath giuen me some worthy cause to wish

1918Things done, vndone: But if he be at hand

1919I shall be satisfied.

1920Pin. I do not doubt

1921But that my Noble Master will appeare

1922Such as he is, full of regard, and Honour.

1923Bru. He is not doubted. A word Lucillius

1924How he receiu'd you: let me be resolu'd.

1925Lucil. With courtesie, and with respect enough,

1926But not with such familiar instances,

1927Nor with such free and friendly Conference

1928As he hath vs'd of old.

1929Bru. Thou hast describ'd

1930A hot Friend, cooling: Euer note Lucillius,

1931When Loue begins to sicken and decay

1932It vseth an enforced Ceremony.

1933There are no trickes, in plaine and simple Faith:

1934But hollow men, like Horses hot at hand,

1935Make gallant shew, and promise of their Mettle:

1937But when they should endure the bloody Spurre,

1938They fall their Crests, and like deceitfull Iades

1939Sinke in the Triall. Comes his Army on?

1940Lucil. They meane this night in Sardis to be quarter'd:

1941The greater part, the Horse in generall

1942Are come with Cassius.

1944Bru. Hearke, he is arriu'd:

1945March gently on to meete him.

1946Cassi. Stand ho.

1947Bru. Stand ho, speake the word along.

1948Stand.

1949Stand.

1950Stand.

1951Cassi. Most Noble Brother, you haue done me wrong.

1952Bru. Iudge me you Gods; wrong I mine Enemies?

1953And if not so, how should I wrong a Brother.

1954Cassi. Brutus, this sober forme of yours, hides wrongs,

1955And when you do them---

1956Brut. Cassius, be content,

1957Speake your greefes softly, I do know you well.

1958Before the eyes of both our Armies heere

1959(Which should perceiue nothing but Loue from vs)

1960Let vs not wrangle. Bid them moue away:

1961Then in my Tent Cassius enlarge your Greefes,

1962And I will giue you Audience.

1963Cassi. Pindarus,

1964Bid our Commanders leade their Charges off

1965A little from this ground.

1966Bru. Lucillius, do you the like, and let no man

1967Come to our Tent, till we haue done our Conference.

1968Let Lucius and Titinius guard our doore. Exeunt
