Field of battle between the camps
Alarum. Drums and trumpets. Enter Agrippa
and others
Retire, we have engaged ourselves too far:
Caesar himself has work, and our oppression
Exceeds what we expected.
O my brave emperor, this is fought indeed!
Had we done so at first, we had droven them home
With clouts about their heads.
Let us score their backs,
And snatch 'em up, as we take hares, behind:
'Tis sport to maul a runner.
