He is at hand, and Pindarus is come
5 To do you salutation from his master.

LUCILLIUS

He is at hand, and Pindarus is come
To do you salutation from his master.

BRUTUS

He greets me well.—Your master, Pindarus,
In his own change or by ill officers
Hath given me some worthy cause to wish
Things done, undone. But if he be at hand
10 I shall be satisfied.

But that my noble master will appear
Such as he is, full of regard and honor.

LUCILLIUS

With courtesy and with respect enough.
But not with such familiar instances
Nor with such free and friendly conference
As he hath used of old.

LUCILLIUS

With courtesy and with respect enough.
But not with such familiar instances
Nor with such free and friendly conference
As he hath used of old.

BRUTUS

Thou hast described
20 A hot friend cooling. Ever note, Lucillius,
When love begins to sicken and decay,
It useth an enforcèd ceremony.
There are no tricks in plain and simple faith.
But hollow men, like horses hot at hand,
25 Make gallant show and promise of their mettle.

Low march within

But when they should endure the bloody spur,
They fall their crests and, like deceitful jades,
Sink in the trial. Comes his army on?

Are come with Cassius.

Cassius, be content.
Speak your griefs softly. I do know you well.
Before the eyes of both our armies here,
45 Which should perceive nothing but love from us,
Let us not wrangle. Bid them move away.
Then in my tent, Cassius, enlarge your griefs,
And I will give you audience.
