s, Let us not wrangle: bid them move away; 45 Then in my tent, Cassius, enlarge your griefs, And I will give you audience. CASSIUS. Pindarus, Bid our commanders lead their charges off A little from this ground. BRUTUS. Lucilius, do you the like; and let no man 50 Come to our tent till we have done our conference. Let Lucius and Titinius guard our door. [_Exeunt_] [Note 34, 35, 36: SOLDIER |Ff omit.] [Note 50: /Lucilius/ Ff | Lucius Craik.] [Note 52: /Let Lucius/ Ff |Lucilius Craik.--/our/ Ff | the Rowe.] [Note 46: /enlarge your griefs:/ enlarge upon your grievances. This use of 'grief' is not unusual in sixteenth century English.] [Note 50, 52: In previous editions of Hudson's Shakespeare was adopted Craik's suggestion that in these lines, as they stand in the Folios, the names Lucius and Lucilius got shuffled each into the other's place; and then, to cure the metrical defect in the third line, that line was made to begin with 'Let.' Craik speaks of "the absurdity of such an association as Lucius and Titinius for the guarding of the door." In Porter and Clarke's 'First Folio,' _Julius Caesar_, the answer to this criticism is: "But a greater absurdity is involved in sending the page with an order to the lieutenant commander of the army, and the extra length of l. 50 pairs with a like extra length in l. 51. Lucilius, having been relieved by Lucius, after giving the order returns and guards the door again."] [Page 123] SCENE III. BRUTUS'S _tent_ _Enter_ BRUTUS _and_ CASSIUS CASSIUS. That you have wrong'd me doth appear in this: You have condemn'd and noted Lucius Pella For taking bribes here of the Sardians; Wherein my letters, praying on his side, Because I knew the man, was slighted off. 5 [Note: SCENE III Pope | Rowe omits.--BRUTUS'S _tent_ Hanmer | Ff omit.] [Note: _Enter_ BRUTUS ... Capell | Manet Brutus ... F1 | Manent ... F2 F3 F4.] [Note 4-5: /letters ... man, was/ | Letters ... man was F1 | letter ... man, was, F2 F3 F4 | letters ... man, were Malone.] [Note: SCENE III. Dowden points out that this scene was already celebrated in Shakespeare's own day, Leonard Digges recording its popularity, and Beaumont and Fletcher imitating it in _The Maid's Tragedy_. "I know no part of Shakespeare that more impresses on me the belief of his genius being su
