That ran through Cæfar's bowels, search this bofom.
Stand not to answer: Here, take thou the 9 hilts;
And when my face is cover'd, as ʼtis now,
Guide thou the sword. - Cæfar, thou art reveng’d,
Even with the sword that kill'd thee.

Where neyer Roman shall take note of him. (Exit.

Is overthrown by noble Brutus' power,
As Caffius' legions are by Antony.

Tit. Thele tidings will well comfort Caffius.
Mej. Where did you leave himn?

Tit. All disconfolate,
With Pindarus his bondman, on this hill.

Mef. Is not that he, that lies upon the ground?
Tit. He lics not like the living. O my heart !
Mif. Is not that he?

Tit. No this was he, Meffala,
But Caffius is no more. O letting fun
As in thy red rays thou doft link to night,
So in his red blood Cafius' day is set;
The i fun of Rome is set! Our day is gone;
Clouds, dews, and dangers come; our deeds are done !

Mes. Mistrust of good success hath done this deed,
O hateful error, melancholy's child,
Why dost thou shew to the apt thoughts of men
The things that are not ? O error, soon conceivd,
Thou never com'ft unto a happy birth,
But kill’it the mother that engender'd thee.

Tit. w What, Pindarus! Where art thou, Pindaris?

Mes. Seek him, Titinius; whilft I go to meet
The noble Erutus, thrusting this report
Into his ears: I may say, thrusting it;
For piercing steel, and darts invenomed,
Shall be as welcome to the ears of Brutus,
As tidings of this sight.

Tit. Hye you, Meffala;
And I will feck for Pindarus the while. [Exit Moffala.
Why didst thou send me forth, brave Caffius?
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 haft mitconstrued every thing.
But hold thee, take this garland on thy brow;
Thy Brutus bid me give it thee, and !
Will do his bidding. Prutus, come apace,
And see how I regarded Caius Coifius.-
By your leave, gods- This is a Roman's part
Come, Caffius' fword, and find Titinius' heart.
