from womanish eyes proceede.
_Octa._ And were the deede most worthy and vnblamed,
Yet you vnworthely did do the same:
Who being partakers with his enemies,
By _Caesar_ all were saued from death and harme, 1880
And for the punnishment you should haue had,
You were prefer'd to Princely dignities:
Rulers and Lordes of Prouinces were you made,
Thus thanke-les men hee did preferre of nought,
That by their hands his murther might be wrought.
_All at once except Anthony and Octauian._
_Omnes._ Reuenge, Reuenge vpon the murtherers.
_Antho._ Braue Lords this worthy resolution shewes,
Your deerest loue, and great affection
VVhich to this slaughtered Prince you alwaies bare, 1890
And may like bloudy chance befall my life:
If I be slack for to reuenge his death.
_Octa._ Now on my Lords, this body lets inter:
Amongest the monuments of _Roman_ Kinges,
And build a Temple to his memory:
Honoring therein his sacred Deity. _Exeunt omnes._
ACT. 4. SC. 2. {SN _Act IV sc. iii_}
_Enter Cassius, and Brutus with an army._
_Cassi._ Now _Romains_ proud foe, worlds common enemy,
In his greatest hight and chiefest Iollitie, 1900
In the Sacred Senate-house is done to death:
Euen as the Consecrated Oxe which soundes,
At horny alters, in his dying pride:
VVith flowry leaues and gar-lands all bedight,
Stands proudly wayting for the hasted stroke:
Till hee amazed with the dismall sound,
Falls to the Earth and staines the holy ground,
The spoyles and riches of the conquered world,
Are now but idle Trophies of his tombe:
His laurell gar-landes do but Crowne his chaire, 1910
His sling, his shilde, and fatall bloudy speare,
VVhich hee in battell oft 'gainst _Rome_ did beare,
Now serue for nought but rusty monuments.
_Bru._ So _Romulus_ when proud ambition,
His former vertue and renowne had stayned:
Did by the Senators receiue his end,
But soft what boades _Titinnius_ hasting speede.
_Enter Titinnius._
_Titin._ The frantike people and impatient,
By _Anthonyes_ exhorting to reuenge: 1920
Runne madding throw the bloudy streetes of _Rome_,
Crying Reuenge, and murthering they goe,
All those that caused _Caesars_ ouerthrowe.
_Cassi._ The waue
