Justice holds its course, and the Consul sentences the guilty citizen to the block:
"Brutus. The sovereign magistrate of injured Rome
Condemns
A crime, thy father's bleeding heart forgives.
Go,—meet thy death with a more manly courage
Than grief now suffers me to show in parting;
And, while she punishes, let Rome admire thee!
Farewell!
Titus. Farewell forever!
Brutus. Forever! Lictors, lead your prisoner forth.
