Plutarch, Julius Caesar in Shakespeare’s Plutarch, I, p. 102. “But when [Caesar] saw Brutus with his sword drawn in his hand, then he pulled his gown over his head, and made no more resistance and was driven either casually or purposedly by the counsel of the conspirators against the base whereupon Pompey’s image stood, which ran all of a gore-blood till he was slain.”
