Read the passage from act 5, scene 3, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar.

CASSIUS. Come down; behold no more.
O coward that I am, to live so long,
To see my best friend ta’en before my face!

[PINDARUS descends]

Come hither, sirrah: in Parthia did I take thee prisoner,
And then I swore thee, saving of thy life,
That whatsoever I did bid thee do
Thou shouldst attempt it. Come now, keep thine oath.
Now be a freeman, and, with this good sword,
That ran through Caesar’s bowels, search this bosom.
Stand not to answer: here, take thou the hilts,
And when my face is covered, as 'tis now,
Guide thou the sword.
