Elsewhere on the battle field, Cassius and his good friend Titinius are worried how it is going.
The battle raged, each side pressed hard, then… Antony was gaining
“My noble lord,” Titinius cried, "I fear our strength is waning.
Brutus moved his troops too soon, our flank was left exposed
Our cause is lost, for now we are by Antony enclosed."
Cassius sent him to a hill to watch and then report
But when he saw his friend engulfed, cried, "All has come to naught.
My span is run, I’ll not be took, the kites and crows await
Here, faithful servant, one last task to seal your master’s fate.
Upon this sword, Great Caesar fell, use it now on me
Search this bosom, seek my heart, then free forever be."
The servant kills him and then flees.
Titinius has not been killed and returns to find Cassius dead.
“Oh, Cassius,” Titinius cried, "you took your life in haste
Brutus had the upper hand, our cause was not yet waste.
He sent this garland for your brow, in victory to wear
I place it now upon your head, then join you in death’s care."
Titinius kills himself on Cassius’ sword.
Brutus and his lieutenants arrive and discover Cassius and Titinius dead.
“Still, mighty Caesar,” Brutus said, "your spirit roams and delves
It burrows in our minds to turn our swords in on ourselves.
The likes of these two Romans here we’ll never see again
Let’s to the fight that we may prove their deaths were not in vain."
