SCENE VI.

To PORTIA, enter CALPHURNIA, with TORBILIUS, CURIO, and Soldiers.
CALPHURNIA.
Never, unhappy Portia!—Far divided
Be Innocence like Thine, from Guilt and Murder!
Teach thy reluctant Heart, to give up Brutus:
For never will thy Eyes behold him more.
(Portia fix'd in Amazement, lets fall the Roll, which Torbilius takes up, looks into, and offers to Calphurnia.)
Let not the hated Scroll pollute my Touch!
Fly with it, hence—bear it, with Speed to Cæsar:
Tell him, Torbilius! how the Gods have sav'd him:

TORBILIUS.
Happy, to miss thy Name, lov'd Brutus, here!
Well-vers'd in Cæsar's Pity,—glad, I go.

[Exit.
