Alarum. Enter BRUTUS and MESSALA

Sounds of battle. BRUTUS and MESSALA enter.

	BRUTUS
	Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills
	Unto the legions on the other side.

BRUTUS

Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these dispatches to our forces on the other side.

Low alarum

Faint sounds of battle.

	Let them set on at once, for I perceive
	But cold demeanor in Octavius' wing,
5	And sudden push gives them the overthrow.
	Ride, ride, Messala. Let them all come down.

They should advance immediately, because I sense Octavius's side is a bit fainthearted right now, and a sudden push would overthrow him. Ride, ride, Messala. Let Cassius's wing mount a surprise attack.

Exeunt severally

They exit in opposite directions.
