_Enter_ BRUTUS, DARDANIUS, CLITUS, STRATO, _and_ VOLUMNIUS
BRUTUS. Come, poor remains of friends, rest on this rock.
CLITUS. Statilius show'd the torch-light, but, my lord;
He came not back. He is or ta'en or slain.
[Note: SCENE V Capell | Scene VIII Pope.--_Another_ ... Ff
omit.]
[Note 3: "Brutus thought that there was no great number of men
slain in battle; and, to know the truth of it, there was one
called Statilius that promised to go through his enemies, for
otherwise it was impossible to go see their camp; and from
thence, if all were well, that he would lift up a torch-light
in the air, and then return again with speed to him. The
torch-light was lift up as he had promised, for Statilius went
thither. Now, Brutus seeing Statilius tarry long after that,
and that he came not again, he said, 'If Statilius be alive,
he will come again.' But his evil fortune was such that, as he
came back, he lighted in his enemies' hands and was slain. Now
the night being far spent, Brutus as he sat bowed towards
Clitus, one of his men, and told him somewhat in his ear: the
other answered him not, but fell a-weeping. Thereupon he
proved[A] Dardanus, and said somewhat also to him: at length
he came to Volumnius himself, and speaking to him in Greek,
prayed him for the studies' sake which brought them acquainted
together, that he would help him to put his hand to his sword,
to thrust it in him to kill him. Volumnius denied his request,
and so did many others."--Plutarch, _Marcus Brutus_.]
[Note A: _i.e._ tried. Cf. _1 Samuel_, XVII, 39.]
[Page 163]
BRUTUS. Sit thee down, Clitus: slaying is the word; 4
It is a deed in fashion. Hark thee, Clitus. [_Whispering_]
CLITUS. What, I, my lord? No, not for all the world.
BRUTUS. Peace then! no words.
CLITUS. I'll rather kill myself.
BRUTUS. Hark thee, Dardanius. [_Whispering_]
DARDANIUS. Shall I do such a deed?
CLITUS. O Dardanius!
DARDANIUS. O Clitus! 10
CLITUS. What ill request did Brutus make to thee?
DARDANIUS. To kill him, Clitus. Look, he meditates.
CLITUS. Now is that noble vessel full of grief,
That it runs over even at his eyes.
BRUTUS. Come hither, good Volumnius; list a word. 15
[Note 5, 8: [_Whispering_] Ff omit.]
[Note 8: /Shall/ Ff | Pope omits.]
[Note 13: /noble vessel full./ Cf. _The Winter's Tale_, III,
iii, 21-22.]
[Page 164]
VOLUMNIUS. What says my lord?
BRUTUS. Why, this, Volumnius:
The ghost of Cæsar hath appear'd to me 17
Two several times by night; at Sardis once,
And, this last night, here in Philippi fields:
I know my hour is come.
VOLUMNIUS. Not so, my lord. 20
BRUTUS. Nay, I am sure it is, Volumnius.
Thou seest the world, Volumnius, how it goes;
Our enemies have beat us to the pit: [_Low alarums_]
It is more worthy to leap in ourselves
Than tarry till they push us. Good Volumnius, 25
Thou know'st that we two went to school together:
Even for that our love of old, I prithee,
Hold thou my sword-hilts, whilst I run on it.
VOLUMNIUS. That's not an office for a friend, my lord.
[_Alarum still_]
CLITUS. Fly, fly, my lord; there is no tarrying here. 30
[Note 27: /prithee/ | prethee Ff.]
[Note 28: /sword-hilts/ | Sword Hilts F1 F2 | Swords Hilt F3
F4.--/whilst/ | whilest F1 F2 | while F3 F4.]
[Note 17: "The second battle being at hand, this spirit
appeared again unto him, but spake never a word. Thereupon
Brutus, knowing that he should die, did put himself to all
hazard in battle, but yet fighting could not be
slain."--Plutarch, _Julius Cæsar_. Merivale has a strong
sentence on this: "The legend that when preparing for the
encounter with the triumvirs he was visited by the ghost of
Cæsar, which summoned him to meet again at Philippi, marks the
conviction of the ancients that in the crisis of his fate he
was stung by guilty remorse, and haunted by the presentiment
of final retribution."]
[Note 26: See quotation from Plutarch, _Marcus Brutus_, p.
163.]
[Page 165]
BRUTUS. Farewell to you; and you; and you, Volumnius.
Strato, thou hast been all this while asleep;
Farewell to thee, too, Strato. Countrymen,
My heart doth joy that yet in all my life
I found no man but he was true to me. 35
I shall have glory by this losing day,
More than Octavius and Mark Antony
By this vile conquest shall attain unto.
So, fare you well at once; for Brutus' tongue
Hath almost ended his life's history: 40
Night hangs upon mine eyes; my bones would rest,
That have but labour'd to attain this hour.
[_Alarum. Cry within_, 'Fly, fly, fly!']
CLITUS. Fly, my lord, fly!
BRUTUS. Hence! I will follow.
[_Exeunt_ CLITUS, DARDANIUS, _and_ VOLUMNIUS]
I prithee, Strato, stay thou by thy lord:
Thou art a fellow of a good respect; 45
Thy life hath had some smatch of honour in it:
Hold then my sword, and turn away thy face,
While I do run upon it. Wilt thou, Strato?
[Note 33: /thee, too, Strato. Countrymen/, Theobald | thee, to
Strato, Countrymen: Ff.]
[Note 34: /in/ F1 | F2 F3 F4 omit.]
[Note 36: /losing/ Rowe | loosing Ff.]
[Note 40: /life's/ Rowe | lives Ff.]
[Note 43: [_Exeunt_ CLITUS ...] Capell | Ff omit.]
[Note 43: "Amongst the rest, one of them said, there was no
tarrying for them there, but that they must needs fly. Then
Brutus, rising up, 'We must fly indeed,' said he, 'but it must
be with our hands, not with our feet.' Then, taking every man
by the hand, he said these words unto them with a cheerful
countenance: 'It rejoiceth my heart, that not one of my
friends hath failed me at my need, and I do not complain of my
fortune, but only for my country's sake: for, as for me, I
think myself happier than they that have overcome, considering
that I leave a perpetual fame of virtue and honesty, the which
our enemies the conquerors shall never attain unto by force or
money.' Having so said, he prayed every man to shift for
himself, and then he went a little aside with two or three
only, among the which Strato was one, with whom he came first
acquainted by the study of rhetoric. Strato, at his request,
held the sword in his hand, and turned his head aside, and
Brutus fell down upon it, and so ran himself through ... and
died presently."--Plutarch, _Marcus Brutus_.]
[Note 45: /of a good respect:/ of good reputation,
well-esteemed. Cf. I, ii, 59.]
[Note 46: /smatch:/ smack, taste. "With the forms 'smack' for
the verb and 'smatch' for the noun, compare 'ake' and 'ache'
as used in the First Folio of Shakespeare."--Clar. Cf. _2
Henry IV_, I, ii, 111.]
[Note 47: "Scarcely any of those who were accessory to his
murder survived him more than three years, or died a natural
death. They were all condemned by the Senate: some were taken
off by one accident, some by another. Part of them perished at
sea, others fell in battle; and some slew themselves with the
same poniard with which they had stabbed Cæsar."--Suetonius,
_Julius Cæsar_.]
[Page 166]
STRATO. Give me your hand first: fare you well, my lord.
BRUTUS. Farewell, good Strato. [_Runs on his sword_]
Cæsar, now be still: 50
I kill'd not thee with half so good a will. [_Dies_]
_Alarum._ _Retreat._ _Enter_ ANTONY, OCTAVIUS, MESSALA.
LUCILIUS, _and the_ Army
OCTAVIUS. What man is that?
MESSALA. My master's man. Strato, where is thy master?
STRATO. Free from the bondage you are in, Messala:
The conquerors can but make a fire of him; 55
For Brutus only overcame himself,
And no man else hath honour by his death.
LUCILIUS. So Brutus should be found. I thank thee, Brutus,
That thou hast prov'd Lucilius' saying true. 59
[Note 50: [_Runs_ ...] | Ff omit.]
[Note 52: Scene IX Pope.]
[Page 167]
OCTAVIUS. All that serv'd Brutus, I will entertain them.
Fellow, wilt thou bestow thy time with me?
STRATO. Ay, if Messala will prefer me to you.
OCTAVIUS. Do so, good Messala.
MESSALA. How died my master, Strato?
STRATO. I held the sword, and he did run on it. 65
MESSALA. Octavius, then take him to follow thee,
That did the latest service to my master.
ANTONY. This was the noblest Roman of them all:
All the conspirators, save only he,
Did that they did in envy of great Cæsar; 70
He only, in a general honest thought
And common good to all, made one of them.
His life was gentle, and the elements
So mix'd in him, that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world, 'This was a man!' 75
[Note 64: /my master/ F1 | my Lord F3.]
[Note 71: /He only, in/ | He, onely in Ff.]
[Note 71-72: /general ... And/ Ff | generous.... Of Craik.]
[Note 60: /will entertain them:/ will take them into my
service.]
[Note 62: /prefer:/ recommend. Cf. _The Merchant of Venice_,
II, ii, 155.]
[Note 68: Cf. Antony's soliloquy on Cæsar, III, i, 257-258.]
[Note 69-70: "Antonius spake ... that of all them that had
slain Cæsar, there was none but Brutus only that was moved ...
thinking the act commendable of itself; but that all the other
conspirators did conspire his death for some private malice or
envy that they otherwise did bear unto him."--Plutarch,
_Marcus Brutus_.]
[Note 73-74: This refers to the old doctrine of the four
elements, earth, water, air, and fire, a right proportion of
which was supposed to be the principle of all excellence in
nature. Shakespeare has many allusions to the doctrine, which
was a commonplace of the sixteenth century. It is this common
property in the idea which invalidates the importance of the
argument for the date of _Julius Cæsar_ drawn from a similar
passage in Drayton's revised version of his _Mortimeriados_
(1596-1597) published in 1603 under the title of _The Barons'
Wars_.]
[Page 168]
OCTAVIUS. According to his virtue let us use him,
With all respect and rites of burial.
Within my tent his bones to-night shall lie,
Most like a soldier, ordered honourably.
So call the field to rest; and let's away 80
To part the glories of this happy day. [_Exeunt_]
[Note 77: With all F3 F4 | Withall F1 F2.]
[Note 79: ordered Ff | order'd Pope.]
[Note 81: [_Exeunt_] Capell | Exeunt omnes Ff.]
[Note 79: /Most like a soldier./ Cf. with these words of
Octavius the speech of Fortinbras with which _Hamlet_ closes:
Let four captains
Bear Hamlet, like a soldier, to the stage;
For he was likely, had he been put on,
To have prov'd most royally.]
[Note 80: /call the field to rest:/ give the signal to cease
fighting. 'Field,' by metonymy, is occasionally used in
sixteenth century literature as synonymous with 'battle' or
'order of battle.' Cf. the expression 'to gather a field,'
meaning 'to collect an armed force.' So in Hall's
_Chronicles_, 1548: "my lorde of Winchester intended to gather
any feld or assemble people." Cf., too, 'field' as a hunting
term.]
[Note 81: /part:/ distribute. A specific meaning of 'part'
used to be 'share one with another.' This sense is now
obsolete or provincial.]
