Caf. Go, Pindarus, get higher on that hill, Caf. What news? Pind. Titinius is enclosed round about Caf. Come down, behold no more; Come hither, firrah; In Parthia did I take thee prifoner; That whatsoever I did bid thee do, [Shout. Thou should't attempt it. Come, now keep thine oath, Guide thou the fword- Cefar, thou art reveng'd, Ev'n with the fword that kill'd thee [Kills himself. Pind. So, I am free; yet would not fo have been, Durft I have done my Will. Oh, Caffius, Far from this counry Pindarus fhall run, Where never Roman shall take note of him. [Exit. Enter Titinius and Meffala. Mef. It is but change, Titinius; for Octavius Is overthrown by noble Brutus' power, As Caffius' legions are by Antony. Tit. Thefe tidings will well comfort Caffius. Tit. All difconfolate, With Pindarus his bondman, on this hill. Mef. Is not that he, that lies upon the ground? Tit. No, this was he, Messala; But Caffius is no more! Oh, fetting Sun! The Sun of Rome is fet! our day is gone; Clouds, dews, and dangers come; our deeds are done; Mistrust of my fuccefs hath done this deed. Mef. Miftruft of good fuccefs hath done this deed. Oh hateful Error, Melancholy's child! Why doft thou fhew to the apt thoughts of men But kill'ft the mother that engender'd thee. Tit. What, Pindarus? where art thou, Pindarus? Tit. Hye you, Messala, And I will feek for Pindarus the while. [Exit Meff. And bid me give it thee? didst thou not hear their fhouts? Alas, thou haft mifconftru'd every thing. But hold thee, take this garland on thy brow. [Stabs himself. [Dies. Come, Caffius' fword, and find Titinius' heart. Alarum. Alarum. Enter Brutus, Meffala, young Cato, Strato, Bru. Where, where, Messala, doth his body lye? Cato. He is flain. Bru. Oh Julius Cæfar, thou art mighty yet! Thy spirit walks abroad, and turns our swords In our own proper entrails. Cato. Brave Titinius! Look, if he have not crown'd dead Caffius [Low alarums. Bru. Are yet two Romans living, such as these? Thou laft of all the Romans! fare thee well; It is impoffible, that ever Rome Should breed thy fellow. Friends, I owe more tears I fhall find time, Caffius, I fhall find time- Left it discomfort us. Lucilius, come; 'Tis three o'clock; and, Romans, yet ere night [Exeunt. Alarum. Enter Brutus, Meffala, Cato, Lucilius, and Flavius. Bru. Yet, Countrymen, oh, yet hold up your heads. Cato. What baftard doth not? who will go with me? (18) and to Tharfus fend bis Body,] Thus all the Editions hitherto, very ignorantly. But the whole Tenor of Hiftory warrants us to write, as I have restored the Text, Thaffos.-Tharfos was a Town of Cilicia, in Afia Minor: and is it probable Brutus could think of fending Caffius's Body thither out of Thrace, where they were now incamp'd? Thasses, on the contrary, was a little Ifle lying close upon Thrace, and at but a fmall Distance from Philippi, to which the body might very commodiously be tranfported. Vid. Plutarch, Appian, Dion, Caffius, &c. I will proclaim my name about the field. A foe to tyrants, and my Country's friend. Enter Soldiers, and fight. Bru. And I am Brutus, Marcus Brutus, I; Luc. Oh young and noble Cato, art thou down? There is fo much, that thou wilt kill me ftrait; Enter Antony. [Exit. 2 Sold. Room, ho! tell Antony, Brutus is talen. Sold. I'll tell the news, here comes the General: Brutus is ta'en, Brutus is ta'en, my Lord. Ant. Where is he? Luc. Safe, Antony; Brutus is fafe enough. [Exeunt. SCENE changes to another Part of the Field. Enter Brutus, Dardanius, Clitus, Strato, and Bru. COME, poor Remains of friends, reft on this rock. Cli. Statilius fhew'd the torch-light, but, my Lord, He came not back, he is or ta'en, or flain. Bru. Sit thee down, Clitus; flaying is the word; It is a deed in fafhon. Hark thee, Clitus [Whispering. Cli. What ill request did Brutus make to thee? Bru. Come hither, good Volumnius; lift a word. Bru. Why, this, Volnmnius; The Ghoft of Cæfar hath appear'd to me Vol. Not fo, my Lord. Bru. Nay, I am fure it is, Volumnius. Thou feeft the world, Volumnius, how it goes; It is more worthy to leap in ourselves, [Alarum. Good Volumnius, Thou know'ft, that we two went to school together; |
