Synopsis:

Brutus sends Messala to throw all Brutus’s legions into the battle.

Alarum. Enter Brutus and Messala.

BRUTUS 
2409  Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills
2410  Unto the legions on the other side!
⌜He hands Messala papers.⌝
Loud alarum.
2411  Let them set on at once, for I perceive
2412  But cold demeanor in Octavius’ wing,
2413 5 And sudden push gives them the overthrow.
2414  Ride, ride, Messala! Let them all come down.
They exit.
