[Act 4, Scene 1]
Enter Antony, Octauius, and

[1770]
Your Brother too must dye: consent you

Fetch the Will hither, and we shall determineHow to cut off some charge in Legacies.Lep.What? shall I finde you heere?Octa.
[1780]
Or heere, or at the Capitoll.Exit LepidusAnt.This is a slight vnmeritable man,Meet to be sent on Errands: is it fitThe three‑fold World diuided, he should standOne of the three to share it?Octa.
[1785]
So you thought him,And tooke his voyce who should be prickt to dyeIn our blacke Sentence and Proscription.Ant.Octauius, I haue seene more dayes then

And though we lay these Honours on this man,
[1790]
To ease our selues of diuers sland'rous loads,He shall but beare them, as the Asse beares Gold,To groane and swet vnder the Businesse,Either led or driuen, as we point the way:And hauing brought our Treasure, where we will,
[1795]
Then take we downe his Load, and turne him off(Like to the empty Asse) to shake his eares,And graze in Commons.Octa.You may do your will:But hee's a tried, and valiant Souldier.Ant.
[1800]
So is my Horse
Octauius, and for that
I do appoint him store of Prouender.It is a Creature that I teach to fight,To winde, to stop, to run directly on:His corporall Motion, gouern'd by my Spirit,
[1805]
And in some taste, is
Lepidus but so:
He must be taught, and train'd, and bid go forth:A barren spirited Fellow; one that feedsOn Obiects, Arts, and Imitations.Which out of vse, and stal'de by other men
[1810]
Begin his fashion. Do not talke of him,But as a property: and now
Octauius,
Listen great things.
Brutus and
CassiusAre leuying Powers; We must straight make head:Therefore let our Alliance be combin'd,
[1815]
Our best Friends made, our meanes stretcht,And let vs presently go sit in Councell,How couert matters may be best disclos'd,And open Perils surest answered.Octa.Let vs do so: for we are at the stake,II2And
