Read the passage from act 5, scene 4, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar . LUCILLIUS: Only I yield to die. There is so much, that thou wilt kill me straight: [Offering money] Kill Brutus, and be honoured in his death. FIRST SOLDIER: We must not.—A noble prisoner! SECOND SOLDIER: Room, ho! Tell Antony, Brutus is ta’en. FIRST SOLDIER: I’ll tell the news. Here comes the general.— [Enter ANTONY] Brutus is ta’en, Brutus is ta’en, my lord. ANTONY: Where is he? LUCILLIUS: Safe, Antony, Brutus is safe enough. I dare assure thee that no enemy Shall ever take alive the noble Brutus. The gods defend him from so great a shame. When you do find him, or alive or dead, He will be found like Brutus, like himself. ANTONY: This is not Brutus, friend, but, I assure you, A prize no less in worth. Keep this man safe. Give him all kindness. I had rather have Such men my friends than enemies. Go on, And see whether Brutus be alive or dead, And bring us word unto Octavius’ tent How everything is chanced. [Exeunt] Which statement best explains what takes place in this passage?
