Pin. [Above] O my lord![3588]
Cas. What news?
Pin. [Above] Titinius is enclosed round about[3589][3590]
With horsemen, that make to him on the spur;[3590]
Yet he spurs on. Now they are almost on him.[3590] 30
Now, Titinius! Now some light. O, he lights too.[3590][3591]
He's ta'en. [Shout.] And, hark! they shout for joy.[3590]
Cas. Come down; behold no more.[3592]
O, coward that I am, to live so long,
To see my best friend ta'en before my face![3593] 35
Pindarus descends.
Come hither, sirrah:[3594]
In Parthia did I take thee prisoner;[3594]
And then I swore thee, saving of thy life,
That whatsoever I did bid thee do,
Thou shouldst attempt it. Come now, keep thine oath; 40
Now be a freeman; and with this good sword,[3595]
That ran through Cæsar's bowels, search this bosom.
Stand not to answer: here, take thou the hilts;[3596]
And when my face is cover'd, as 'tis now,
Guide thou the sword. [Pindarus stabs him.] Cæsar, thou art revenged,[3597]45
Even with the sword that kill'd thee. [Dies.[3598]
Pin. So, I am free; yet would not so have been,[3599]
Durst I have done my will. O Cassius!
Far from this country Pindarus shall run,
Where never Roman shall take note of him. [Exit. [3600]50
Re-enter Titinius with Messala.[3601]
Mes. It is but change, Titinius; for Octavius[3602]
Is overthrown by noble Brutus' power,
As Cassius' legions are by Antony.
Tit. These tidings will well comfort Cassius.
