[Alarum. Enter BRUTUS and MESSALA]

BRUTUS

Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills

Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these orders

Unto the legions on the other side.

To all our soldiers on the other side!

[Loud alarum]

Let them set on at once; for I perceive

Have them attack at once, for I perceive

But cold demeanour in Octavius' wing,

Octavius’ soldiers lacking readiness,

And sudden push gives them the overthrow.

And, with a sudden strike, we will defeat them.

Ride, ride, Messala: let them all come down.

Ride, ride, Messala! Have them all attack!

[Exeunt]
