Head! Hands! O body defiled and stained! Is it thus he is stretched supine!
He lies
Bleeding, eyes closed, teeth showing,
His cheeks all crusted with sand!
Fetch water! Wash him! Let one of you become his serving-maid!
Here we are one beside the other
Like heirs in the empty house of a dead man.
(They remove his helmet and loosen his hair.
Cassius (howling): O hair!
O master! Master! Who will give Cassius another pang to satisfy his passion!
