  and    resolved    To   meet    all  perils  very    constantly。    BRUTUS。       Even    so;
  Lucilius。     CASSIUS。       Now;    most    noble    Brutus;   The    gods    today   stand

  friendly that we may; Lovers in peace; lead on our days to age! But; since
  the affairs of men rest still incertain; Let's reason with the worst that may
  befall。  If   we   do lose   this battle;  then   is   this The very  last   time   we   shall
  speak together。 What are you then determined to do? BRUTUS。 Even by
  the rule of that philosophy By which I did blame Cato for the death Which
  he did give himself… I know not how; But I do find it cowardly and vile;
  For fear of what might fall; so to prevent The time of life… arming myself
  with patience To stay the providence of some high powers That govern us
  below。 CASSIUS。 Then; if we lose this battle; You are contented to be led
  in   triumph   Thorough   the   streets   of   Rome?   BRUTUS。   No;   Cassius;   no。
  Think not; thou noble Roman; That ever Brutus will go bound to Rome;
  He bears too great a mind。 But this same day Must end that work the ides
  of March begun。 And whether we shall meet again I know not。 Therefore
  our   everlasting   farewell   take。   Forever;   and   forever;   farewell;   Cassius!   If
  we do meet again; why; we shall smile; If not; why then this parting was
  well made。 CASSIUS。 Forever and forever farewell; Brutus! If we do meet
  again;   we'll   smile   indeed;   If   not;   'tis   true   this   parting   was   well   made。
  BRUTUS。 Why then; lead on。 O; that a man might know The end of this
  day's business ere it come! But it sufficeth that the day will end; And then
  the end is known。 Come; ho! Away! Exeunt。

  SCENE II。 The field of battle。
  Alarum。 Enter Brutus and Messala。
  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   demeanor   in   Octavia's   wing;  And   sudden   push   gives
  them the overthrow。 Ride; ride; Messala。 Let them all come down。 Exeunt。

  SCENE III。 Another part of the field。
  Alarums。 Enter Cassius and Titinius。
  CASSIUS。   O;   look;   Titinius;   look;   the   villains   fly!   Myself   have   to
  mine own turn'd enemy。 This ensign here of mine was turning back; I slew
  the coward; and did take it from him。 TITINIUS。 O Cassius; Brutus gave
  the word too early; Who; having some advantage on Octavius; Took it too
  eagerly。 His soldiers fell to spoil; Whilst we by Antony are all enclosed。
  Enter Pindarus。
  PINDARUS。 Fly further off; my lord; fly further off; Mark Antony is
  in your tents; my lord; Fly; therefore; noble Cassius; fly far off。 CASSIUS。
  This hill is far enough。 Look; look; Titinius: Are those my tents where I
  perceive   the   fire?   TITINIUS。   They   are;   my   lord。   CASSIUS。   Titinius;   if
  thou lovest me; Mount thou my horse and hide thy spurs in him; Till he
  have   brought   thee   up   to   yonder   troops And   here   again;   that   I   may   rest
  assured   Whether   yond   troops   are   friend   or   enemy。   TITINIUS。   I   will   be
  here again; even with a thought。 Exit。 CASSIUS。 Go; Pindarus; get higher
  on that   hill;   My  sight   was   ever   thick;   regard Titinius; And   tell   me   what
  thou notest about the field。 Pindarus ascends the hill。 This day I breathed
  first: time is come round; And where I did begin; there shall I end; My life
  is run his compass。 Sirrah; what news? PINDARUS。 'Above。' O my lord!
  CASSIUS。 What news? PINDARUS。 'Above。' Titinius is enclosed round
  about With horsemen; that make to him on the spur; Yet he spurs on。 Now
  they are almost on him。 Now; Titinius! Now some light。 O; he lights too。
  He's ta'en 'Shout。' And; hark! They shout for joy。 CASSIUS。 Come down;
  behold   no   more。   O;   coward   that   I   am;   to   live   so   long;   To   see   my   best
  friend   ta'en   before   my   face!   Pindarus   descends。   Come   hither;   sirrah。   In
  Parthia did I take thee prisoner; And then I swore thee; saving of thy life;
  That whatsoever I did bid thee do; Thou shouldst attempt it。 Come now;
  keep thine oath; Now be a freeman; and with this good sword; That ran
  through   Caesar's   bowels;   search   this   bosom。   Stand   not   to   answer:   here;
  take thou the hilts; And when my face is cover'd; as 'tis now; Guide thou
  the sword。 'Pindarus stabs him。' Caesar; thou art revenged; Even with the
  sword that kill'd thee。 Dies。 PINDARUS。 So; I am free; yet would not so

  have been; Durst I have done my will。 O Cassius! Far from this country
  Pindarus shall run; Where never Roman shall take note of him。 Exit。
  Re…enter Titinius with Messala。
  MESSALA。 It is but change; Titinius; for Octavius Is overthrown by
  noble Brutus' power; As Cassius' legions are by Antony。 TITINIUS。 These
  tidings would well comfort Cassius。 MESSALA。 Where did you leave him?
  TITINIUS。   All   disconsolate;   With       Pindarus   his   bondman;   on   this   hill。
  MESSALA。 Is not that he that lies upon the ground? TITINIUS。 He lies
  not like the living。 O my heart! MESSALA。 Is not that he? TITINIUS。 No;
  this was he; Messala; But Cassius is no more。 O setting sun; As in thy red
  rays thou dost sink to night; So in his red blood Cassius' day is set; The
  sun of Rome is set! Our day is gone; Clouds; dews; and dangers come; our
  deeds are done! Mistrust of my success hath done this deed。 MESSALA。
  Mistrust     of   good    success     hath   done    this   deed。   O    hateful    error;
  melancholy's child; Why dost thou show to the apt thoughts of men The
  things   that   are   not?   O   error;   soon   conceived; Thou   never  comest   unto   a
  happy birth; But kill'st the mother that engender'd thee! TITINIUS。 What;
  Pindarus!     Where     art  thou;  Pindarus?    MESSALA。         Seek   him;   Titinius;
  whilst I go to meet The noble Brutus; thrusting this report Into his ears。 I
  may say 〃thrusting〃 it; For piercing steel and darts envenomed Shall be as
  welcome to the ears of Brutus As tidings of this sight。 TITINIUS。 Hie you;
  Messala; And I will seek for Pindarus the while。 Exit Messala。 Why didst
  thou send me forth; brave Cassius? Did I not meet thy friends? And did
  not they Put on my brows this wreath of victory; And bid me give it thee?
  Didst thou not hear their shouts? Alas; thou hast misconstrued everything!
  But; hold thee; take this garland on thy brow; Thy Brutus bid me give it
  thee;   and   I   Will   do   his   bidding。  Brutus;   come   apace;   And   see   how  I
  regarded Caius Cassius。 By your leave; gods; this is a Roman's part。 Come;
  Cassius' sword; and find Titinius' heart。 Kills himself。
  Alarum。 Re…enter Messala; with Brutus; young Cato; and others。
  BRUTUS。 Where; where; Messala; doth his body lie? MESSALA。 Lo;
  yonder;    and   Titinius   mourning     it。  BRUTUS。      Titinius'  face   is  upward。
  CATO。 He is slain。 BRUTUS。 O Julius Caesar; thou art mighty yet! Thy
  spirit walks abroad; and turns our swords In our own proper entrails。 Low

  alarums。   CATO。   Brave   Titinius!   Look   whe'er   he   have   not   crown'd   dead
  Cassius! BRUTUS。 Are yet two Romans living such as these? The last of
  all   the   Romans;   fare   thee   well!   It   is   impossible   that   ever   Rome   Should
  breed thy fellow。 Friends; I owe moe tears To this dead man than you shall
  see me pay。 I shall find time; Cassius; I shall find time。 Come therefore;
  and to Thasos send his body; His funerals shall not be in our camp; Lest it
  discomfort us。 Lucilius; come; And come; young Cato; let us to the field。
  Labio and Flavio; set our battles on。 'Tis three o'clock; and Romans; yet
  ere night We shall try fortune in a second fight。 Exeunt。
