Cicero is dead, and by that order of proscription Had you your Letters from your wife, my Lord? Nor nothing in your Letters writ of her? That me thinks is strange. No my Lord. Then Like a Roman, bear the truth I tell, For certain she is dead, and by strange manner. Even so great men, great losses should endure. What says my General? Believe not so. It is but change, Titinius : for Octavius Is overthrown by Noble Brutus power, As Cassius Legions are by Antony. Where did you leave him. Is not that he that lies upon the ground? Is not that he? Mistrust of good success hath done this deed. Oh hateful Error, Melancholies Child: Why dost thou show to the apt thoughts of men The things that are not? Oh Error soon conceived, Thou never comest unto a happy birth, But killest the Mother that engendered thee. Seek him Titinius, while I go to meet The Noble Brutus, thrusting this report Into his ears; I may say thrusting it: For piercing Steel, and Darts envenomed, Shall be as welcome to the ears of Brutus, As tidings of this sighed. Lo yonder, and Titinius mourning it. My Master's man. Strato, where is thy Master? How died my Master Strato ? Octavius, then take him to follow thee, That did the latest service to my Master.
Plot summary
Plot — Julius Caesar
Caesar returns to Rome triumphant over Pompey. He is warned to beware the Ides of March, and later offered the crown, which he refuses. Meanwhile Cassius sounds out Brutus’ attitude to Caesar’s ambition, and determines to screw him up to conspiracy. Supernatural portents disturb the night before the Ides of March. Brutus convinces himself that Caesar must be assassinated to prevent him establishing himself as a monarch. The conspirators meet at his house, and Brutus insists on limiting the scope of the plot. Cicero is not to be taken into their confidence, Mark Antony is to be spared, and only Caesar murdered. After the conspirators have left, Portia forces Brutus to take her into his confidence. The portents and Calpurnia’s anxiety persuade Caesar to stay at home, but Decius convinces him to go to the Senate as arranged. Artemidorus tries to give him a letter warning against the conspirators, but he refuses to read it. He is stabbed to death, and confusion ensues. Against Cassius’ wishes, Brutus agrees that Antony may speak at Caesar’s funeral. Brutus’ speech justifying the assassination temporarily convinces the mob, but Antony’s rhetoric, and a bequest in Caesar’s will, turns them against the conspirators. Brutus and Cassius flee Rome. In the riots that follow, the conspirators’ houses are burned and Cinna the poet killed, mistaken for the conspirator of the same name. Antony, Octavius, and Lepidus seize power, draw up a death list, and make preparations for war with Brutus and Cassius. Portia commits suicide. Brutus and Cassius quarrel, but reconcile themselves as friends. They determine to give battle at Philippi rather than waiting for Antony and Octavius to come to them at Sardis. Brutus is visited by Caesar’s ghost, which tells him that they will meet again at Philippi. The two armies face off at Philippi, and Cassius, mistakenly thinking that his side is beaten, commits suicide. Once the day really is lost, Brutus has difficulty in finding a friend willing to help him do the same; finally Strato holds his sword while he runs on it and dies. Antony and Octavius, victorious, pay him tribute and promise him an honourable burial.
