Julius Caesar Act 5 Scene 2 Lyrics

SCENE II. The same. The field of battle.

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 demeanor in Octavius' wing,
And sudden push gives them the overthrow.

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

Exeunt
