| ACT V SCENE IV | Another part of the field. | |
| | Alarum. Enter fighting, Soldiers of both armies;then BRUTUS, CATO, LUCILIUS, and others | |
| BRUTUS | Yet, countrymen, O, yet hold up your heads! | |
| CATO | What bastard doth not? Who will go with me? | |
| | I will proclaim my name about the field: | |
| | I am the son of Marcus Cato, ho! | 5 |
| | A foe to tyrants, and my country's friend; | |
| | I am the son of Marcus Cato, ho! | |
| BRUTUS | And I am Brutus, Marcus Brutus, I; | |
| | Brutus, my country's friend; know me for Brutus! | |
| | Exit | |
| LUCILIUS | O young and noble Cato, art thou down? | 10 |
| | Why, now thou diest as bravely as Titinius; | |
| | And mayst be honour'd, being Cato's son. | |
| First Soldier | Yield, or thou diest. | |
| LUCILIUS | Only I yield to die: | |
| | There is so much that thou wilt kill me straight; | 15 |
| | Offering money | |
| | Kill Brutus, and be honour'd in his death. | |
| First Soldier | We must not. A noble prisoner! | |
| Second Soldier | Room, ho! Tell Antony, Brutus is ta'en. | |
| First Soldier | I'll tell the news. Here comes the general. | |
| | Enter ANTONY | |
| | Brutus is ta'en, Brutus is ta'en, my lord. | 20 |
| ANTONY | Where is he? | |
| LUCILIUS | 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! | 25 |
| | When you do find him, or alive or dead, | |
| | He will be found like Brutus, like himself. | |
| ANTONY | 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 | 30 |
| | Such men my friends than enemies. Go on, | |
| | And see whether Brutus be alive or dead; | |
| | And bring us word unto Octavius' tent | |
| | How every thing is chanced. | |
| | Exeunt | |
