Titinius

O Cassius, Brutus gave the word too early,
Who having some advantage on Octavius
Took it too eagerly. His soldiers fell to spoil,
Whilst we by Antony are all enclosed.

Cassius

This hill is far enough. Look, look, Titinius — 
Are those my tents where I perceive the fire?

Titinius

They are, my lord.

Cassius

                                Titinius, if thou lovest me,
Mount thou my horse and hide thy spurs in him,
Till he have brought thee up to yonder troops
And here again, that I may rest assured
Whether yond troops are friend or enemy.

Titinius

I will be here again, even with a thought.
[Alarum. Enter fighting, Soldiers of both armies; then Brutus, Cato, Lucilius, and others.]

Brutus

Yet, countrymen, O, yet hold up your heads!
[Exit Brutus.]

Cato

What bastard doth not? Who will go with me?
I will proclaim my name about the field — 
I am the son of Marcus Cato, ho!
A foe to tyrants, and my country's friend.
I am the son of Marcus Cato, ho!

Antony

This is not Brutus, friend, but, I assure you,
A prize no less in worth. Keep this man safe;
Give him all kindness. I had rather have
Such men my friends than enemies. Go on,

Malcolm

That strike beside us.

Malcolm

Now near enough; your leafy screens throw down,
And show like those you are. You, worthy uncle,
Shall with my cousin, your right noble son,
Lead our first battle. Worthy Macduff and we
Shall take upon 's what else remains to do,
According to our order.
