Question

cassius. coming from sardis, on our former ensign
two mighty eagles fell, and there they perched,
gorging and feeding from our soldiers hands;
who to philippi here consorted us.
this morning are they fled away and gone,
and in their steads do ravens, crows, and kites
fly oer our heads and downward look on us,
as we were sickly prey. their shadows seem
a canopy most fatal, under which
our army lies ready to give up the ghost.
