| Alarum. Enter BRUTUS and
MESSALA
| Sounds of battle. BRUTUS and
MESSALA enter.
|
|
BRUTUS Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills
Unto the legions on the other side.
|
BRUTUS Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these dispatches to our forces
on the other side.
|
| Low alarum
| Faint sounds of battle.
|
|
Let them set on at once, for I perceive
But cold demeanor in Octavius' wing,
5 And sudden push gives them the overthrow.
Ride, ride, Messala. Let them all come down.
|
They should advance immediately, because I sense
Octavius’s side is a bit fainthearted right now, and a
sudden push would overthrow him. Ride, ride, Messala. Let
Cassius’s wing mount a surprise attack.
|
| Exeunt severally
| They exit in opposite directions.
