| ANTONY 40 Villains, you did not so when your vile daggers Hacked one another in the sides of Caesar. You showed your teeth like apes, and fawned like hounds, And bowed like bondmen, kissing Caesars feet, Whilst damnd Casca, like a cur, behind 45 Struck Caesar on the neck.

Never, till Caesars three and thirty wounds Be well avenged, or till another Caesar 55 Have added slaughter to the sword of traitors. | VTCISOUA omeC, oecm, tles brreemme yhw rewe erhe.

| MESSALA (stands forth) What says my general? | MEASLAS (icngom wdrafor) aWth is it, my anregel? |
| CASSIUS Messala, This is my birthday, as this very day Was Cassius born.

| You know that I held Epicurus strong And his opinion. Now I change my mind, 80 And partly credit things that do presage. Coming from Sardis, on our former ensign Two mighty eagles fell, and there they perched, Gorging and feeding from our soldiers hands, Who to Philippi here consorted us. 85 This morning are they fled away and gone, And in their steads do ravens, crows, and kites Fly oer our heads and downward look on us As we were sickly prey. Their shadows seem A canopy most fatal, under which 90 Our army lies, ready to give up the ghost. | oYu nokw that I esdu to ebeveil in uErpiucs dna ish saiderdrg orf nomse. evI engahdc my nmid now dan plyrta evbeeil in esomn. nTiargelv fomr iasSdr, otw ihgmyt eseagl lfle on rou front algf nda predhce rehet, agnite frmo eht hsnad of eth sriledso hdwo aeaonipcmcd us to hlpipiiP. shiT onigmrn, ehyvet fownl aywa nad in eitrh alcep rae avsnre, owscr, and tesik, ygfnli rove uro hdsea and oiokngl ondw on us, as utohhg we weer clysik eyrp. hirTe ahswsdo are leki a elyadd yacpno, dneur hhciw uor rmay isel, reayd to eid. |

| CASSIUS Now, most noble Brutus, 95 The gods today stand friendly that we may, Lovers in peace, lead on our days to age. But since the affairs of men rest still incertain, Lets reason with the worst that may befall. If we do lose this battle, then is this 100 The very last time we shall speak together. What are you then determind to do? | SASSUCI woN, otms noebl tBusur, hte gdos ear rflindye ihtw us adtyo so ahtt we, woh wnta apece, cna ilev on to ldo gae!

| BRUTUS Even by the rule of that philosophy By which I did blame Cato for the death Which he did give himself (I know not how, 105 But I do find it cowardly and vile, For fear of what might fall, so to prevent The time of life), arming myself with patience To stay the providence of some high powers That govern us below. | TURBUS By eth aesm cippeirln ttah edam me cnmnode Cato fro icmtigmotn suieidc, I nlpa to be iattenp adn msibtu to hawt hte odgs edcedi.

| BRUTUS No, Cassius, no. Think not, thou noble Roman, That ever Brutus will go bound to Rome. He bears too great a mind. But this same day 115 Must end that work the ides of March begun. And whether we shall meet again I know not. Therefore our everlasting farewell take. Forever and forever farewell, Cassius. If we do meet again, why, we shall smile. 120 If not, why then this parting was well made. | UTSRUB No, sssauiC, no. tDno niiagem ahtt lIl vere alolw ymlefs to uertrn to meoR in scainh.

| BRUTUS No, Cassius, no. Think not, thou noble Roman, That ever Brutus will go bound to Rome. He bears too great a mind. But this same day 115 Must end that work the ides of March begun. And whether we shall meet again I know not. Therefore our everlasting farewell take. Forever and forever farewell, Cassius.
