that ever brutus will go bound to rome.

must end that work the ides of march begun . .

b. brutus’ honor has died. he wants octavius to overtake his army so that he can return to rome as a prisoner.

c. brutus’ honor will not allow him to return to rome “bound,” or as a prisoner of octavius’ army. he assassinated caesar to end such tyranny.

d. brutus is concerned about cassius’ honor. he wants octavius to overtake cassius’ army so that he can return to rome as a prisoner.
