ACT V

SCENE I. _The plains of Philippi_

_Enter_ OCTAVIUS, ANTONY, _and their_ Army

OCTAVIUS. Now, Antony, our hopes are answered:
You said the enemy would not come down,
But keep the hills and upper regions.
It proves not so: their battles are at hand;
They mean to warn us at Philippi here, 5
Answering before we do demand of them.

ANTONY. Tut, I am in their bosoms, and I know
Wherefore they do it: they could be content
To visit other places, and come down
With fearful bravery, thinking by this face 10
To fasten in our thoughts that they have courage;
But 'tis not so.

[Note _The plains of Philippi_: Capell | The Fields of
Philippi, with the two Camps Rowe | Ff omit.]

[Note 4: /battles:/ troops, battalions. 'Battle' was used for
an 'army,' especially an army embattled, or ordered in battle
array. The plural is here used with historical correctness, as
Brutus and Cassius had each an army; the two armies of course
co-operating, and acting together as one. Cf. 'battle' in l.
16 and 'battles' in V, iii, 108.]

[Note 5: /warn:/ summon to fight. Cf. _King John_, II, i, 201.
In _Richard III_, I, iii, 39, we have "warn them to his royal
presence."]

[Note 7: /am in their bosoms:/ am familiar with their
intention.]

[Note 10: /bravery:/ brav
