Obit of the Day (Historical): Julius Caesar (44 B.C.)
From Julius Caesar, Act III, scene i:
Cinna: O Caesar.
Caesar: Hence! Wilt thou lift up Olympus?
Decius: Great Caesar.
Caesar: Doth not Brutus bootless kneel?
Casca: Speak hands for me.
They stab Caesar. [- Casca first, Brutus last.]
Caesar: Et, tu, Brute? - Then fall Caesar.
Cinna: Liberty! Freedom! Tyranny is dead!
