BRUTUS. Are yet two Romans living such as these?

The last of all the Romans, fare thee well!

It is impossible that ever Rome

Should breed thy fellow. Friends, I owe more tears

To this dead man than you shall see me pay.—

I shall find time, Cassius, I shall find time.—

Come, therefore, and to Thasos send his body.

His funerals shall not be in our camp,

Lest it discomfort us. Lucillius, come;

And come, young Cato. Let us to the field.

Labio and Flavio, set our battles on.

'Tis three o’clock, and, Romans, yet ere night

We shall try fortune in a second fight.

–The Tragedy of Julius Caesar,
William Shakespeare
