Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans
by Plutarch (excerpt)

Casca gave him the first cut, which was not mortal nor dangerous, as coming from one who at the beginning of such a bold action was probably very much disturbed. Caesar immediately turned. And both of them at the same time cried out, he that received the blow, in Latin, "Vile Casca, what does this mean?" and he that gave it, in Greek, to his brother, "Brother, help!" Upon this first onset, those who were not privy* to the design were astonished and their horror and amazement at what they saw were so great, that they durst not fly nor assist Caesar, nor so much as speak a word. But those who came prepared for the business enclosed him on every side. Whichever way he turned, he met with blows, and was encompassed, like a wild beast in the toils, on every side. For it had been agreed they should each of them make a thrust at him; for which reason Brutus also gave him one stab. Some say that he fought and resisted all the rest, shifting his body to avoid the blows, and calling out for help, but that when he saw Brutus's sword drawn, he covered his face with his robe and submitted, letting himself fall. . .

Julius Caesar
by William Shakespeare
(excerpt from Act 3, Scene I)

CINNA: (kneeling) O Caesar—

CAESAR: Hence! Wilt thou lift up Olympus?

DECIUS: (kneeling) Great Caesar—

CAESAR: Doth not Brutus bootless kneel?

CASCA: Speak, hands, for me!

(CASCA and the other conspirators stab CAESAR, BRUTUS last)

CAESAR: Et tu, Bruté?—Then fall, Caesar. (dies)

CINNA: Liberty! Freedom! Tyranny is dead!
Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets.

CASSIUS: Some to the common pulpits, and cry out,
“Liberty, freedom, and enfranchisement!”

(Confusion. Exeunt some plebeians and senators.)

BRUTUS: People and senators, be not affrighted.
Fly not. Stand still. Ambition’s debt is paid.
