The storm is up, and all is on the hazard. Bru. Ev'n by the rule of that philosophy, For fear of what might fall, so to prevent Cas. Then, if we lose this battle, You are contented to be led in triumph, Bru. No, Cassius, no; think not, thou noble Ro man, That ever Brutus will go bound to Rome; know The end of this day's business, ere it come! And then the end is known. Come, ho, away! [Exeunt. SCENE II. Another Part of the Field of Battle. Alarum. Enter BRUTUS and TREBONIUS. Bru. Haste, haste, Trebonius, haste, and give these bills Unto the legions, on the other side. Let them set on at once: for I perceive And sudden push gives them the overthrow; Haste, haste, Trebonius; let them all come down. Alarum. Enter CASSIUS and CASCA. [Exeunt. Cas. O look, good Casca, look, the villains fly! Casca, O Cassius, Brutus gave the word too early; Enter PINDARUS. Pind. Fly further off, my lord, fly further off. Cas. This hill is far enough. Look, look, my Casca, Are those my tents, where I perceive the fire? Cas. Casca, if thou lov'st me, Mount thou my horse, and hide thy spurs in him, [Exit. Cas. Go, Pindarus, get higher on that hill, Cas. What news? Pind. Casca is inclosed round about With horsemen, that make to him on the spur; Cas. Come down, behold no more; Enter PINDARUS. 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, [Shout. Thou shouldst attempt it. Come, now keep thine oath, Now, be a freeman; and with this good sword, Guide thou the sword-Cæsar, thou art reveng'd, [Kills himself.-Exit PINDARUS. Enter TREBONIUS and CASCA. Tre. It is but change, good Casca: for Octavius Is overthrown by noble Brutus' power, As Cassius' legions are by Antony. Casca. These tidings will well comfort Cassius. Casca. All disconsolate, With Pindarus his bondman, on this hill. Tre. Is not that he that lies upon the ground? Casca. He lies not like the living. Oh my heart! Tre. Is not that he? Casca. No, this was he, Trebonius; But Cassius is no more! Oh, setting sun! Tre. Mistrust of good success hath done this deed. Casca. What, Pindarus! where art thou, Pindarus? Tre. Seek him, whilst I go meet the noble Brutus, With tidings of this sight. Casca. Hie you, Trebonius, And I will seek for Pindarus, the while. [Exit TREBONIUS, 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 misconstru'd every thing. But hold thee, take this garland on thy brow. Alarum. Enter BRUTUS, TREEONIUS, DECIUS, CINNA, and METELLUS. Bru. Where, where, Trebonius, doth his body lie? Tre. Lo, yonder, and Casca mourning it. Bru. Casca's face is upward. Are yet two Romans living, such as these? It is impossible that ever Rome Should breed thy fellow. Friends, I owe more tears Thy spirit stalks abroad, and turns our swords Come, let us to the field, and yet ere night, [Exeunt. SCENE III. Field at Philippi. Enter several SOLDIERS, with TREBONIUS Prisoner, meeting ANTONY. 1 Sold. Here comes the general: Brutus is ta'en, Brutus is ta'en, my Ant. Where is he? lord. Tre. Safe, Antony; Brutus is safe enough.
