_AEneas_ when from _Troyan_ fire,
He bare his Father, and did so restore:
The greatest gift hee had receiued before. _Exit._
_Cat. Seni._ Now haue I freed mee of that hurtfull Loue,
Which interrupted my resolued will, 1130
Which all the world can neuer stay nor change:
_Caesar_ whose rule commands both Sea and Land,
Is not of powre to hinder this weake hand,
And time succeeding shall behold that I
Although not liue, yet died courragiously, _stab himselfe._
_Enter Cato Iunior._
_Ca. Iuni._ O hast thou thus to thine owne harme deceiu'd me
Well I perceiue thy Noble dauntles heart:
Because it would not beare the Conquerors insolence,
Vsed on it selfe this cruell violence, 1140
I know not whether I should more lament,
That by thine owne hand thou thus slaughtred art,
Or Ioy that thou so nobly didst depart. _Exit._
_FINIS._ ACTVS 2.
{SN _Chor. III_}
_Enter Discord._
_Dis._ Now _Caesar_ rides triumphantly through _Rome_,
And deckes the Capitoll with _Pompeys_ spoyle:
Ambition now doth vertues seat vsurp,
Then thou Reuengfull great _Adastria_ Queene.
Awake with horror of thy dubbing Drumm, 1150
And call the snaky furies from below,
To dash the Ioy of their triumphing pride,
_Erinnis_ kindle now thy _Stigian_ brands,
In discontented _Brutus_ boyling brest,
Let _Caesar_ die a bleeding sacrifice,
Vnto the Soule of thy dead Country _Rome_.
Why sleepest thou _Cassius_? wake thee from thy dreame:
And yet thou naught dost dreame but blood and death.
For dreadfull visions do afright thy sleepe.
And howling Ghosts with gastly horrors cry, 1160
By _Cassius_ hand must wicked _Caesar_ die,
Now _Rome_ cast of thy gaudy paintcd robes
And cloth thy selfe in sable colored weedes,
Change thy vaine triumphs into funerall pomps,
And _Caesar_ cast thy Laurell crowne apart,
And bind thy temples with sad _Cypres_ tree.
Of warrs thus peace insues, of peace more harmes,
Then erst was wrought by tragick wars alarmes, _Exit._
ACT. 3. SCE. I. {SN _Act III sc. i_}
_Enter Cassius._
_Cas._ Harke how _Caesarians_ with resounding shoutes, 1171
Tell heauens of their pompes and victories,
_Caesar_
