  Go, Pindarus, get higher on that hill.
  My sight was ever thick. Regard Titinius,
  And tell me what thou notest about the field.
CASSIUS
Go, Pindarus, climb a little higher on this hill. My eyesight has always been bad. Watch Titinius and tell me what you see in the field.
PINDARUS ascends the hill

  This day I breathed first. Time is come round,
25 And where I did begin, there shall I end.
  My life is run his compass.
  (to PINDARUS)                                Sirrah, what news?
Today was the day I breathed my first breath. Time has come round, and I'll end where I began. My life has run its circle. (to PINDARUS) What can you see, boy?

  He's ta'en.

Shout within

35 And, hark! They shout for joy.

  Oh, coward that I am, to live so long
  To see my best friend ta'en before my face!

Come down, look no more. Oh, I'm such a coward for living long enough to see my best friend taken before my eyes!
