For Brutus only overcame himself;

And no man elfe hath honour by his death.

Luc. So Brutus fhould be found, I thank thee, Brutus, That thou haft prov'd Lucilius faying true.

O&ta. All that ferv'd Brutus, I will entertain them. Fellow, wilt thou beftow thy time with me? Stra. Ay, if Meffala will prefer me to you. Octa. Do fo, good Meffala.

Mef. How died my Lord, Strato?

Stra. I held the fword, and he did run on it. Mef. Octavius, then take him to follow thee, That did the latest service to my mafter.

Ant. This was the nobleft Roman of them all:
All the Confpirators, fave only he,

Did that they did in envy of great Cafar:
He, only, in a general honeft thought,

And common Good to all, made one of them.
His life was gentle, and the elements

So mix'd in him, that nature might ftand up,
And fay to all the world; "This was a Man!
Octa. According to his virtue, let us ufe him;
With all refpect, and rites of burial.

Within my tent his bones to-night shall lie,
Moft like a foldier, order'd honourably.
So call the field to reft; and let's away,

To part the Glories of this happy day. Exeunt omnes.
