Why this, Volumnius. / The ghost of Caesar hath appeared to me / Two several times by night—at Sardis once, / And this last night, here in Philippi fields. / I know my hour is come.VOLUMNIUS. Not so, my lord.BRUTUS. Nay, I am sure it is, Volumnius. / Thou seest the world, Volumnius, how it goes. / Our enemies have beat us to the pit;[Low alarums]It is more worthy to leap in ourselves / Than tarry till they push us. Good Volumnius, / Thou know'st that we two went to school together. / Even for that, our love of old, I prithee, / Hold thou my sword hilts, whilst I run on it.VOLUMNIUS. That's not an office for a friend, my lord.Excerpt 2:BRUTUS. Hence, I will follow.[Exeunt CLITUS, DARDANIUS, and VOLUMNIUS]I prithee, Strato, stay thou by thy lord. / Thou art a fellow of a good respect. / Thy life hath had some smatch of honour in it. / Hold then my sword, and turn away thy face / While I do run upon it. Wilt thou, Strato?STRATO. Give me your hand first. Fare you well, my lord.How do the moral dilemmas of Volumnius and Strato compare?
