      Tear him for his bad verses, tear him for his bad verses.

      CINNA THE POET

      I am not Cinna the conspirator.

      Fourth Citizen

      It is no matter, his name’s Cinna; pluck but his

      name out of his heart, and turn him going.

      Third Citizen

      Tear him, tear him! Come, brands ho! fire-brands:

      to Brutus’, to Cassius’; burn all: some to Decius’

      house, and some to Casca’s; some to Ligarius’: away, go!

      Exeunt

      Act IV

      Scene I

      A house in Rome.

      ANTONY, OCTAVIUS, and LEPIDUS, seated at a table

      ANTONY

      These many, then, shall die; their names are prick’d.

      OCTAVIUS

      Your brother too must die; consent you, Lepidus?

      LEPIDUS

      I do consent-

      OCTAVIUS

      Prick him down, Antony.

      LEPIDUS

      Upon condition Publius shall not live,

      Who is your sister’s son, Mark Antony.

      ANTONY

      He shall not live; look, with a spot I damn him.

      But, Lepidus, go you to Caesar’s house;

      Fetch the will hither, and we shall determine

      How to cut off some charge in legacies.

      LEPIDUS

      What, shall I find you here?

      OCTAVIUS

      Or here, or at the Capitol.

      Exit LEPIDUS

      ANTONY

      This is a slight unmeritable man,

      Meet to be sent on errands: is it fit,

      The three-fold world divided, he should stand

      One of the three to share it?

      OCTAVIUS

      So you thought him;

      And took his voice who should be prick’d to die,

      In our black sentence and proscription.

      ANTONY

      Octavius, I have seen more days than you:

      And though we lay these honours on this man,

      To ease ourselves of divers slanderous loads,

      He shall but bear them as the ass bears gold,

      To groan and sweat under the business,

      Either led or driven, as we point the way;

      And having brought our treasure where we will,

      Then take we down his load, and turn him off,

      Like to the empty ass, to shake his ears,

      And graze in commons.

      OCTAVIUS

      You may do your will;

      But he’s a tried and valiant soldier.

      ANTONY

      So is my horse, Octavius; and for that

      I do appoint him store of provender:

      It is a creature that I teach to fight,

      To wind, to stop, to run directly on,

      His corporal motion govern’d by my spirit.

      And, in some taste, is Lepidus but so;

      He must be taught and train’d and bid go forth;

      A barren-spirited fellow; one that feeds

      On abjects, orts and imitations,

      Which, out of use and staled by other men,

      Begin his fashion: do not talk of him,

      But as a property. And now, Octavius,

      Listen great things:–Brutus and Cassius

      Are levying powers: we must straight make head:

      Therefore let our alliance be combined,

      Our best friends made, our means stretch’d

      And let us presently go sit in council,

      How covert matters may be best disclosed,

      And open perils surest answered.

      OCTAVIUS

      Let us do so: for we are at the stake,

      And bay’d about with many enemies;

      And some that smile have in their hearts, I fear,

      Millions of mischiefs.

      Exeunt

      Scene II

      Camp near Sardis. Before BRUTUS’s tent.

      Drum. Enter BRUTUS, LUCILIUS, LUCIUS, and Soldiers; TITINIUS and PINDARUS meeting them

      BRUTUS

      Stand, ho!

      LUCILIUS

      Give the word, ho! and stand.

      BRUTUS

      What now, Lucilius! is Cassius near?

      LUCILIUS
