SCENE IV.

Enter a Senator.
SENATOR.
The People are amaz'd,
Cry out, and stare, and run about the Streets,
As in an Earthquake.

(They all stoop down to Cæsar's Body except Brutus.
CASCA.
How many Ages hence
Shall this our lofty Scene be acted o'er,
In States unborn, and Accents yet unknown?

TREBONIUS.
How many times shall Cæsar bleed in Sport,
While the attentive Throng shall melt in Tears,
To see his Fall!

BRUTUS.
As oft as that shall be,
So often shall this Knot of us be call'd
The Men who gave their Country Liberty.
Let's venture forth.

CASSIUS.
Come on then, let's away
Brutus shall lead, and we will grace his steps
With all the best and boldest Sons of Rome.

BRUTUS.
What, Antony return'd, and without Arms!
