[V.97] What bastard doth not: who is so base-born as not to do so?
[V.98] Lucilius | Bru. Rowe | Ff omit.
[V.99] ll. 7-8 The Folios omit the speaker's name. Rowe gave the lines to Brutus, but they are utterly uncharacteristic of him. Plutarch (see [quotation below, l. 29]) says that Lucilius impersonated Brutus, and Shakespeare follows this, as l. 14 indicates. The Folios have no 'Exit' or stage direction after l. 8. Professor Michael Macmillan says: "It seems probable that the printers of the Folio by mistake put the heading 'Luc.' two lines too low down."
[V.100] ll. 9-11 Ff give to Luc. (Lucilius).
[V.101] "There was the son of Marcus Cato slain ... telling aloud his name, and also his father's name."—Plutarch, Marcus Brutus.
[V.102] [Offering money] | Ff omit.
[V.103] 1 Soldier | Sold. Ff.
[V.104] the news Pope (ed. 1728) | thee newes Ff.
[V.105] Enter Antony | in Ff after l. 15.
[V.106] Brutus, friend F4 | Brutus friend | F1F2F3.
