| <p><blockquote> | |
| <i>Alarums. Enter CASSIUS and TITINIUS</i> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech1><b>CASSIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=1>O, look, Titinius, look, the villains fly!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=2>Myself have to mine own turn'd enemy:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=3>This ensign here of mine was turning back;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=4>I slew the coward, and did take it from him.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech2><b>TITINIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=5>O Cassius, Brutus gave the word too early;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=6>Who, having some advantage on Octavius,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=7>Took it too eagerly: his soldiers fell to spoil,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=8>Whilst we by Antony are all enclosed.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Enter PINDARUS</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech3><b>PINDARUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=9>Fly further off, my lord, fly further off;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=10>Mark Antony is in your tents, my lord</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=11>Fly, therefore, noble Cassius, fly far off.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech4><b>CASSIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=12>This hill is far enough. Look, look, Titinius;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=13>Are those my tents where I perceive the fire?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech5><b>TITINIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=14>They are, my lord.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech6><b>CASSIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=15> Titinius, if thou lovest me,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=16>Mount thou my horse, and hide thy spurs in him,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=17>Till he have brought thee up to yonder troops,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=18>And here again; that I may rest assured</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=19>Whether yond troops are friend or enemy.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech7><b>TITINIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=20>I will be here again, even with a thought.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Exit</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech8><b>CASSIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=21>Go, Pindarus, get higher on that hill;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=22>My sight was ever thick; regard Titinius,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=23>And tell me what thou notest about the field.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>PINDARUS ascends the hill</i></p> | |
| <A NAME=24>This day I breathed first: time is come round,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=25>And where I did begin, there shall I end;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=26>My life is run his compass. Sirrah, what news?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech9><b>PINDARUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=27>[Above] O my lord!</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech10><b>CASSIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=28>What news?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech11><b>PINDARUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=29>[Above] Titinius is enclosed round about</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=30>With horsemen, that make to him on the spur;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=31>Yet he spurs on. Now they are almost on him.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=32>Now, Titinius! Now some light. O, he lights too.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=33>He's ta'en.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Shout</i></p> | |
| <A NAME=34>And, hark! they shout for joy.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech12><b>CASSIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=35>Come down, behold no more.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=36>O, coward that I am, to live so long,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=37>To see my best friend ta'en before my face!</A><br> | |
| <p><i>PINDARUS descends</i></p> | |
| <A NAME=38>Come hither, sirrah:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=39>In Parthia did I take thee prisoner;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=40>And then I swore thee, saving of thy life,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=41>That whatsoever I did bid thee do,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=42>Thou shouldst attempt it. Come now, keep thine oath;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=43>Now be a freeman: and with this good sword,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=44>That ran through Caesar's bowels, search this bosom.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=45>Stand not to answer: here, take thou the hilts;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=46>And, when my face is cover'd, as 'tis now,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=47>Guide thou the sword.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>PINDARUS stabs him</i></p> | |
| <A NAME=48>Caesar, thou art revenged,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=49>Even with the sword that kill'd thee.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Dies</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech13><b>PINDARUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=50>So, I am free; yet would not so have been,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=51>Durst I have done my will. O Cassius,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=52>Far from this country Pindarus shall run,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=53>Where never Roman shall take note of him.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Exit</i></p> | |
| <p><i>Re-enter TITINIUS with MESSALA</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech14><b>MESSALA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=54>It is but change, Titinius; for Octavius</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=55>Is overthrown by noble Brutus' power,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=56>As Cassius' legions are by Antony.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech15><b>TITINIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=57>These tidings will well comfort Cassius.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech16><b>MESSALA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=58>Where did you leave him?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech17><b>TITINIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=59>All disconsolate,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=60>With Pindarus his bondman, on this hill.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech18><b>MESSALA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=61>Is not that he t hat lies upon the ground?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech19><b>TITINIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=62>He lies not like the living. O my heart!</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech20><b>MESSALA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=63>Is not that he?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech21><b>TITINIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=64> No, this was he, Messala,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=65>But Cassius is no more. O setting sun,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=66>As in thy red rays thou dost sink to-night,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=67>So in his red blood Cassius' day is set;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=68>The sun of Rome is set! Our day is gone;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=69>Clouds, dews, and dangers come; our deeds are done!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=70>Mistrust of my success hath done this deed.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech22><b>MESSALA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=71>Mistrust of good success hath done this deed.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=72>O hateful error, melancholy's child,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=73>Why dost thou show to the apt thoughts of men</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=74>The things that are not? O error, soon conceived,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=75>Thou never comest unto a happy birth,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=76>But kill'st the mother that engender'd thee!</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech23><b>TITINIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=77>What, Pindarus! where art thou, Pindarus?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech24><b>MESSALA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=78>Seek him, Titinius, whilst I go to meet</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=79>The noble Brutus, thrusting this report</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=80>Into his ears; I may say, thrusting it;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=81>For piercing steel and darts envenomed</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=82>Shall be as welcome to the ears of Brutus</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=83>As tidings of this sight.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech25><b>TITINIUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=84>Hie you, Messala,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=85>And I will seek for Pindarus the while.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Exit MESSALA</i></p> | |
| <A NAME=86>Why didst thou send me forth, brave Cassius?</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=87>Did I not meet thy friends? and did not they</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=88>Put on my brows this wreath of victory,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=89>And bid me give it thee? Didst thou not hear their shouts?</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=90>Alas, thou hast misconstrued every thing!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=91>But, hold thee, take this garland on thy brow;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=92>Thy Brutus bid me give it thee, and I</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=93>Will do his bidding. Brutus, come apace,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=94>And see how I regarded Caius Cassius.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=95>By your leave, gods:--this is a Roman's part</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=96>Come, Cassius' sword, and find Titinius' heart.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Kills himself</i></p> | |
| <p><i>Alarum. Re-enter MESSALA, with BRUTUS, CATO, STRATO, VOLUMNIUS, and LUCILIUS</i></p> | |

| <A NAME=speech26><b>BRUTUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=97>Where, where, Messala, doth his body lie?</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech27><b>MESSALA</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=98>Lo, yonder, and Titinius mourning it.</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech28><b>BRUTUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=99>Titinius' face is upward.</A><br> | |

| <A NAME=100>He is slain.</A><br> | |

| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=101>O Julius Caesar, thou art mighty yet!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=102>Thy spirit walks abroad and turns our swords</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=103>In our own proper entrails.</A><br> | |
| <p><i>Low alarums</i></p> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech31><b>CATO</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=104>Brave Titinius!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=105>Look, whether he have not crown'd dead Cassius!</A><br> | |
| </blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=speech32><b>BRUTUS</b></a> | |
| <blockquote> | |
| <A NAME=106>Are yet two Romans living such as these?</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=107>The last of all the Romans, fare thee well!</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=108>It is impossible that ever Rome</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=109>Should breed thy fellow. Friends, I owe more tears</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=110>To this dead man than you shall see me pay.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=111>I shall find time, Cassius, I shall find time.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=112>Come, therefore, and to Thasos send his body:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=113>His funerals shall not be in our camp,</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=114>Lest it discomfort us. Lucilius, come;</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=115>And come, young Cato; let us to the field.</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=116>Labeo and Flavius, set our battles on:</A><br> | |
| <A NAME=117>'Tis three o'clock; and, Romans, yet ere night</A><br> | |
