CASSIUS. Then, with your will, go on;
We'll along ourselves, and meet them at Philippi. 225

BRUTUS. The deep of night is crept upon our talk,
And nature must obey necessity;
Which we will niggard with a little rest.
There is no more to say?

CASSIUS. No more. Good night:
Early to-morrow will we rise, and hence. 230

BRUTUS. Lucius! [_Re-enter_ LUCIUS] My gown.
[_Exit_ LUCIUS]. Farewell, good Messala:
Good night, Titinius: noble, noble Cassius,
Good night, and good repose.

CASSIUS. O my dear brother!
This was an ill beginning of the night:
Never come such division 'tween our souls! 235
Let it not, Brutus.

BRUTUS. Every thing is well.

CASSIUS. Good night, my lord.

BRUTUS. Good night, good brother.

TITINIUS.} Good night, Lord Brutus.
MESSALA. }

BRUTUS. Farewell, every one.

_Re-enter_ LUCIUS, _with the gown_

Give me the gown. Where is thy instrument?

LUCIUS. Here in the tent.

BRUTUS. What, thou speak'st drowsily?
Poor knave, I blame thee not; thou art o'er-watch'd. 241
Call Claudius and some other of my men;
I'll have them sleep on cushions in my tent.

LUCIUS. Varro and Claudius!

_Enter_ VARRO _and_ CLAUDIUS

VARRO. Calls my lord? 245

BRUTUS. I pray you, sirs, lie in my tent and sleep;
It may be I shall raise you by-and-by
On business to my brother Cassius.

VARRO. So please you, we will stand and watch your pleasure.

BRUTUS. I will not have it so: lie down, good sirs; 250
It may be I shall othe
