Modern English

  1. Enter Caesar and his army.

    Caesar comes in with his army.

  2. Caesar1

    But being charged, we will be still by land, Which, as I take’t, we shall, for his best force Is forth to man his galleys. To the vales, And hold our best advantage.

    Unless we are attacked, we will stay quiet on land — and I think we will not be attacked, since his best troops have gone out to man his galleys. Go down to the valleys, and keep to the ground that gives us the greatest advantage.

  3. Exeunt.

    They all leave.
