LUCILLIUS
Safe, Antony. Brutus is safe enough.
I dare assure thee that no enemy
Shall ever take alive the noble Brutus.
The gods defend him from so great a shame!
When you do find him, or alive or dead,
He will be found like Brutus, like himself.

LUCILLIUS
He’s safe, Antony. I can assure you that no enemy will
ever take the noble Brutus alive. The gods protect him from so great
a shame! When you do find him, alive or dead, he’ll be
found on his own terms.

ANTONY
(to
SOLDIERS) 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,
And see whether Brutus be alive or dead.
And bring us word unto Octavius' tent
How everything is chanced.

ANTONY
(to
SOLDIERS) This isn’t Brutus,
friend, but, I assure you, he is a valuable prize. Keep this man
safe. Be kind to him. I would rather have such men as friends than
enemies. Move on, find out if Brutus is alive or dead, then return
to Octavius’s tent to tell us what you’ve
learned.
