[Note 104. /Thasos./ A large island off the coast of Thrace.
"So when he was come thither, after he had lamented the death
of Cassius, calling him the last of all the Romans, being
unpossible that Rome should ever breed again so noble and
valiant a man as he, he caused his body to be buried, and sent
it to the city of Thassos, fearing lest his funerals within
his camp should cause great disorder. Then he called his
soldiers together, and did encourage them again."--Plutarch,
_Marcus Brutus_.]

[Note 108: /Labeo and Flavius./ These two men are not named
among the persons of the drama, because they speak nothing.
Labeo was one of the stabbers of Caesar; and it related that
when he saw that all was lost, having dug his own grave, he
enfranchised a slave, and then he thrust a weapon into his
hand ordering him to kill him.]

[Note 109-110: Shakespeare with dramatic effectiveness
represents both battles as occurring the same day. They were
separated by an interval of twenty days. The 'three o'clock'
is from Plutarch. "He suddenly caused his army to march, being
past three of the clock in the afternoon."--_Marcus Brutus._]

SCENE IV. _Another part of the field._

_Alarum. Enter_ BRUTUS, _young_ CATO, LUCILIUS, _and
others_

BRUTUS. Yet, countrymen, O, yet hold up your heads!

CATO. What bastard doth not? Who will go with me?
I will proclaim my name about the field.
I am the son of Marcus Cato, ho!
A foe to tyrants, and my country's friend; 5
I am the son of Marcus Cato, ho!

_Enter_ Soldiers, _and fight_

LUCILIUS. And I am Brutus, Marcus Brutus, I;
Brutus, my country's friend; know me for Brutus!
O young and noble Cato, art thou down?
Why, now thou diest as bravely as Titinius; 10
And mayst be honour'd, being Cato's son.

1 SOLDIER. Yield, or thou diest.
