Cassius: (To Pindarus) Come hither, sirrah. In Parthia did I take thee prisoner. Now be a freeman, and with this good sword, that ran through Caesar's bowels, search this bosom. (He gives the sword to Pindarus.) Here, and when my face is covered, as tis now, (He covers his face with his cloak.) guide thou the sword. (Pindarus stabs him, and Cassius sags to the ground, gasping.) Caesar, thou art revenged, even with the sword that killed thee. (Pindarus runs off.)
