Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 2, of Julius Caesar. BRUTUS. Ride, ride, Messala, ride, and give these bills Unto the legions on the other side. [Loud alarum] Let them set on at once, for I perceive But cold demeanour in Octavius’ wing, And sudden push gives them the overthrow. Ride, ride, Messala, let them all come down. [Exeunt] How would the meaning of the passage be affected if the phrase "all come down” were changed to "advance”?

That would mean that the text would be modern styled. They should advance immediately because I sense Octavious' side is a bit fainthearted right now and a sudden push would overthrow him. Ride, ride Messala. Let Cassius' wing mount a surprise attack.

With the new chosen wording the story becomes more explicit and easier to understand.


Hope this helps!
