CASSIUS. O ye immortal gods!

[Enter LUCIUS, with wine and taper]

BRUTUS. Speak no more of her. Give me a bowl of wine.
In this I bury all unkindness, Cassius.

CASSIUS. My heart is thirsty for that noble pledge.
Fill, Lucius, till the wine o'erswell the cup;
I cannot drink too much of Brutus' love.

[Exit LUCIUS. Enter TITINIUS, with MESSALA]

Now sit we close about this taper here,
And call in question our necessities.
