Julius Caesar by Shakespeare | Brutus and Cassius Farewell | Act 5 Scene 1

The Tragic Last Meeting of Rome's Greatest Rebels: Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar follows the conspiracy to assassinate Caesar, the turmoil that follows, and the fate of the conspirators themselves. In Act 5, scene 1, on the eve of the decisive battle at Philippi, Brutus and Cassius share a final farewell—two friends and allies, now facing the ruin brought by their own choices. This exchange underscores the deep bond between the two men and their acceptance of the uncertain, likely fatal outcome of the impending battle.

Now, most noble Brutus, The gods today stand friendly, that we may, Lovers in peace, lead on our days to age! But since the affairs of men rest still incertain, Let's reason with the worst that may befall. If we do lose this battle, then is this The very last time we shall speak together: What are you then determined to do? Brutus. Even by the rule of that philosophy By which I did blame Cato for the death Which he did give himself, I know not how, But I do find it cowardly and vile, For fear of what might fall, so to prevent The time of life: arming myself with patience To stay the providence of some high powers That govern us below. Cassius. Then, if we lose this battle, You are contented to be led in triumph Thorough the streets of Rome? Brutus. No, Cassius, no: think not, thou noble Roman, That ever Brutus will go bound to Rome; He bears too great a mind. But this same day Must end that work the Ides of March begun; And whether we shall meet again I know not. Therefore our everlasting farewell take: For ever, and for ever, farewell, Cassius! If we do meet again, why, we shall smile; If not, why then, this parting was well made. Cassius. For ever, and for ever, farewell, Brutus! If we do meet again, we'll smile indeed; If not, 'tis true this parting was well made. Brutus. Why, then, lead on. O, that a man might know The end of this day's business ere it come! But it sufficeth that the day will end, And then the end is known. Come, ho! away!
