Cas. And died so?
Bru. Even so.
Cas. O ye immortal gods!156
Enter Boy [Lucius], with wine and tapers.
Bru. Speak no more of her. Give me a bowl of wine.
In this I bury all unkindness, Cassius.Drinks.
Cas. My heart is thirsty for that noble pledge.
Fill, Lucius, till the wine o'erswell the cup;160
I cannot drink too much of Brutus' love.[Drinks.]
Bru. Come in, Titinius.[Exit Lucius.]
Enter Titinius and Messala.
Welcome, good Messala.
Now sit we close about this taper here,
And call in question our necessities.164
Cas. Portia, art thou gone?
Bru. No more, I pray you.
Messala, I have here received letters.
That young Octavius and Mark Antony
Come down upon us with a mighty power,168
Bending their expedition towards Philippi.
Mes. Myself have letters of the self-same tenour.
Bru. With what addition?
Mes. That by proscription and bills of outlawry,172
Octavius, Antony, and Lepidus,
Have put to death an hundred senators.
Bru. Therein our letters do not well agree;
Mine speak of seventy senators that died176
By their proscriptions, Cicero being one.
Cas. Cicero one?
164 call in question: bring up for discussion
169 Bending . . . expedition: directing their march
