CASSIUS
For ever and for ever farewell, Brutus! [120]
If we do meet again we’ll smile indeed.
If not, ’tis true this parting was well made.
BRUTUS
Why then, lead on. O that a man might know
The end of this day’s business ere it come!
But it sufficeth that the day will end, [125]
And then the end is known. Come, ho, away!
Exeunt.
Scene II IT
Alarum. Enter Brutus and Messala.
BRUTUS
Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills
Unto the legions on the other side.
Loud alarum.
Let them set on at once, for I perceive
But cold demeanour in Octavius’ wing,
And sudden push gives them the overthrow. [5]
Ride, ride, Messala! Let them all come down!
Exeunt.
Scene III IT
Alarums. Enter Cassius and Titinius.
CASSIUS
O, look, Titinius, look, the villains fly!
Myself have to mine own turned enemy.
This ensign here of mine was turning back;
I slew the coward and did take it from him.
