ANTONY
So call the field to rest, and let's away,
To part the glories of this happy day.
(actors retire)
ACTOR 1
Well fallen, Caesar!
ACTOR 2
--------------------Good Messala, help
me out of these accursed weeds, I pray.
ACTOR 3
Is't not deject? After this day we shall
Ne'ermore a company be.
(exit actors, except CAESAR, CALPHURNIA, and PORTIA)
CALPHURNIA
Bravi, Caesar, Portia. Give you good night.
(exit CALPHURNIA)
PORTIA
So, then, it's finished. I, for one, am sad.
CAESAR
And I f'r another, though tonight, 'tis true,
a multitudinous audience we had
Who at each wave of hand and line well-spoken
Did cheer and shout and thunderously applaud,
Making such a sweet and clamorous cry
As if we were the King's Men.
PORTIA
-----------------------------But for thee
They cheered the most, when in the Capitol
Good Brutus stabbed thee and thou wert slain.
CAESAR
Well, that is so, for I enact great Julius,
and in our tragedy the hero I;
Indeed, 'tis named for Caesar, who doth fall
Most tragically. That scene doth please me well.
PORTIA
I'faith, hadst thou not said, I'd not have known.
Thou diddest splendidly. Farewell, great Caesar.
(exit PORTIA. Then exit CAESAR.)
