V,4
Enter ANTONY and OCTAVIUS.

ANTONY: Everything runs and history leaf has been turned over.
OCTAVIUS: I escaped the fight but shall take part in my new wars.
ANTONY: Maybe somebody of our enemies was honourable.
OCTAVIUS: Maybe. Many of them trusted a woolly system of power.
ANTONY: We sure were more clever than the traitors.

V,5
Rome. Enter LUCIUS CAESETIUS FLAVIUS tribun of the People and MARULLUS.

FLAVIUS: I am greeting the new legate to Greece among his legionaries.
MARULLUS: You are welcome. I shall call my only legion 'eleventh'. Today a poet must be soldier, too.
FLAVIUS: Have I to speak Greek with you? The free Greek towns are nominally independent and to despoil them will be difficult for you.
MARULLUS: I already saw too despoiled girls. I shall buy some fine tunics for them.
FLAVIUS: You overrate history.
MARULLUS: Look at this flute. (He plays a few notes) 'Before I die I shall learn a new air' said Socrates. And it will be a happy air. (Exeunt omnes)
