Now some light.O, he lights too.He's ta'en.[Shout]And, hark! they shout for joy.CASSIUSCome 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]PINDARUSSo, 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]MESSALAIt is but change, Titinius; for OctaviusIs overthrown by noble Brutus' power,As Cassius' legions are by Antony.TITINIUSThese tidings will well comfort Cassius.MESSALAWhere did you leave him?TITINIUSAll disconsolate,With Pindarus his bondman, on this hill.MESSALAIs not that he that lies upon the ground?TITINIUSHe lies not like the living.O my heart!MESSALAIs not that he?TITINIUSNo, 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.MESSALAMistrust of good success hath done this deed.O hateful error, melancholy's child,Why dost thou show to the apt thoughts of menThe things that are not? O error, soon conceived,Thou never comest unto a happy birth,But kill'st the mother that engender'd thee!TITINIUSWhat, Pindarus! where art thou, Pindarus?MESSALASeek him, Titinius, whilst I go to meetThe noble Brutus, thrusting this reportInto his ears; I may say, thrusting it;For piercing steel and darts envenomedShall be as welcome to the ears of BrutusAs tidings of this sight.TITINIUSHie 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 theyPut on my brows this wreath of victory,And bid me give it thee? Didst thou not hear their shouts?Alas, thou hast misconstrued every thing!But, hold thee, take this garland on thy brow;Thy Brutus bid me give it thee, and IWill do his bidding.Brutus, come apace,And see how I regarded Caius Cassius.By your leave, gods: -- this is a Roman's partCome, Cassius' sword, and find Titinius' heart.[Kills himself][Alarum.Re-enter MESSALA, with BRUTUS, CATO, STRATO, VOLUMNIUS, andLUCILIUS]BRUTUSWhere, where, Messala, doth his body lie?MESSALALo, yonder, and Titinius mourning it.BRUTUSTitinius' face is upward.CATOHe is slain.BRUTUSO Julius Caesar, thou art mighty yet!Thy spirit walks abroad and turns our swordsIn our own proper entrails.[Low alarums]CATOBrave Titinius!Look, whether he have not crown'd dead Cassius!BRUTUSAre yet two Romans living such as these?The last of all the Romans, fare thee well!It is impossible that ever RomeShould breed thy fellow.Friends, I owe more tearsTo 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.Labeo and Flavius, set our battles on:'Tis three o'clock; and, Romans, yet ere nightWe shall try fortune in a second fight.[Exeunt]--------------------------------------"scene" 4Scene 4[Another part of the field.][Alarum [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
