  their hands in it。 And these does she apply for warnings and portents And
  evils imminent; and on her knee Hath begg'd that I will stay at home today。
  DECIUS。   This   dream   is   all   amiss   interpreted;   It   was   a   vision   fair   and
  fortunate。 Your   statue   spouting   blood   in   many   pipes;   In   which   so   many
  smiling   Romans   bathed;   Signifies   that   from   you   great   Rome   shall   suck
  Reviving blood; and that great men shall press For tinctures; stains; relics;
  and   cognizance。   This   by   Calpurnia's   dream   is   signified。   CAESAR。 And
  this   way  have   you   well   expounded   it。   DECIUS。   I   have;   when   you   have

  heard what I can say。 And know it now; the Senate have concluded To give
  this day a crown to mighty Caesar。 If you shall send them word you will
  not   come;   Their   minds   may   change。   Besides;   it   were   a   mock Apt   to   be
  render'd; for someone to say 〃Break up the Senate till another time; When
  Caesar's wife shall meet with better dreams。〃 If Caesar hide himself; shall
  they not whisper 〃Lo; Caesar is afraid〃? Pardon me; Caesar; for my dear
  dear love To your proceeding bids me tell you this; And reason to my love
  is liable。 CAESAR。 How foolish do your fears seem now; Calpurnia! I am
  ashamed I did yield to them。 Give me my robe; for I will go。
  Enter   Publius;    Brutus;   Ligarius;    Metellus;    Casca;    Trebonius;    and
  Cinna。
  And    look   where    Publius    is  come   to  fetch   me。   PUBLIUS。       Good
  morrow;Caesar。        CAESAR。       Welcome;      Publius。    What;    Brutus;    are  you
  stirr'd so early too? Good morrow; Casca。 Caius Ligarius; Caesar was ne'er
  so much your enemy As that same ague which hath made you lean。 What
  is't o'clock? BRUTUS。 Caesar; 'tis strucken eight。 CAESAR。 I thank you
  for your pains and courtesy。
  Enter Antony。
  See; Antony; that revels long o' nights; Is notwithstanding up。 Good
  morrow; Antony。 ANTONY。 So to most noble Caesar。 CAESAR。 Bid them
  prepare   within。   I   am   to   blame   to   be   thus   waited   for。   Now;   Cinna;   now;
  Metellus;     what;    Trebonius;     I  have   an   hour's   talk   in  store   for   you;
  Remember that you call on me today; Be near me; that I may remember
  you。 TREBONIUS。 Caesar; I will。 'Aside。' And so near will I be That your
  best friends shall wish I had been further。 CAESAR。 Good friends; go in
  and   taste   some   wine   with   me;  And   we   like   friends   will   straightway   go
  together。   BRUTUS。   'Aside。'   That   every   like   is   not   the   same;   O   Caesar;
  The heart of Brutus yearns to think upon! Exeunt。

  THE TRAGEDY OF JULIUS CAESAR
  SCENE III。 A street near the Capitol。 Enter
  Artemidorus; reading paper。
  ARTEMIDORUS。 〃Caesar; beware of Brutus; take heed of Cassius;
  come not near Casca; have an eye to Cinna; trust not Trebonius; mark well
  Metellus Cimber; Decius Brutus loves thee not; thou hast wronged Caius
  Ligarius。  There   is   but   one   mind   in   all   these   men;   and   it   is   bent   against
  Caesar。 If thou beest not immortal; look about you。 Security gives way to
  conspiracy。 The mighty gods defend thee! Thy lover; Artemidorus。〃 Here
  will I stand till Caesar pass along; And as a suitor will I give him this。 My
  heart laments that virtue cannot live Out of the teeth of emulation。 If thou
  read   this;   O   Caesar;   thou   mayest   live;   If   not;   the   Fates   with   traitors   do
  contrive。 Exit。

  THE TRAGEDY OF JULIUS CAESAR
  SCENE IV。 Another part of the same street; before
  the house of Brutus。
  Enter Portia and Lucius。
  PORTIA。 I prithee; boy; run to the Senate House; Stay not to answer
  me; but get thee gone。 Why dost thou stay? LUCIUS。 To know my errand;
  madam。 PORTIA。 I would have had thee there; and here again; Ere I can
  tell thee what thou shouldst do there。 O constancy; be strong upon my side!
  Set a huge mountain 'tween my heart and tongue! I have a man's mind; but
  a woman's might。 How hard it is for women to keep counsel! Art thou here
  yet? LUCIUS。 Madam; what should I do? Run to the Capitol; and nothing
  else?   And   so   return   to   you;   and   nothing   else?   PORTIA。   Yes;   bring   me
  word; boy; if thy lord look well; For he went sickly forth; and take good
  note What Caesar doth; what suitors press to him。 Hark; boy; what noise is
  that? LUCIUS。 I hear none; madam。 PORTIA。 Prithee; listen well。 I heard
  a   bustling   rumor   like   a   fray;   And   the   wind   brings   it   from   the   Capitol。
  LUCIUS。 Sooth; madam; I hear nothing。
  Enter the Soothsayer。
  PORTIA。      Come      hither;  fellow;    Which     way    hast   thou    been?
  SOOTHSAYER。            At  mine    own   house;   good    lady。  PORTIA。      What    is't
  o'clock? SOOTHSAYER。 About the ninth hour; lady。 PORTIA。 Is Caesar
  yet gone to the Capitol? SOOTHSAYER。 Madam; not yet。 I go to take my
  stand To see him pass on to the Capitol。 PORTIA。 Thou hast some suit to
  Caesar; hast thou not? SOOTHSAYER。 That I have; lady。 If it will please
  Caesar   To   be   so   good   to   Caesar   as   to   hear   me;   I   shall   beseech   him   to
  befriend     himself。   PORTIA。      Why;    know'st    thou   any   harm's    intended
  towards him? SOOTHSAYER。 None that I know will be; much that I fear
  may chance。 Good morrow to you。 Here the street is narrow; The throng
  that follows Caesar at the heels; Of senators; of praetors; common suitors;
  Will crowd a feeble man almost to death。 I'll get me to a place more void
  and there Speak to great Caesar as he comes along。 Exit。 PORTIA。 I must
  go in。 Ay  me; how weak   a thing The   heart of woman   is! O Brutus; The
  heavens   speed   thee   in   thine   enterprise!   Sure;   the   boy   heard   me。   Brutus

  hath a suit That Caesar will not grant。 O; I grow faint。 Run; Lucius; and
  commend me to my lord; Say I am merry。 Come to me again; And bring
  me word what he doth say to thee。 Exeunt severally。

  CAESAR。 The ides of March are come。 SOOTHSAYER。 Ay; Caesar;
  but   not   gone。   A   Hail;   Caesar!   Read   this   schedule。   DECIUS。   Trebonius
  doth   desire   you   to   o'er   read; At   your   best   leisure;   this   his   humble   suit。
  ARTEMIDORUS。 O Caesar; read mine first; for mine's a suit That touches
  Caesar nearer。 Read it; great   Caesar。 CAESAR。 What   touches us   ourself
  shall be last served。 ARTEMIDORUS。 Delay not; Caesar; read it instantly。
  CAESAR。         What;    is  the   fellow   mad?     PUBLIUS。       Sirrah;    give   place。
  CASSIUS。        What;    urge   you   your   petitions   in  the   street?  Come     to  the
  Capitol。 Caesar goes up to the Senate House; the rest follow。
  POPILIUS。 I wish your enterprise today may thrive。 CASSIUS。 What
  enterprise;     Popilius?    POPILIUS。       Fare   you   well。   Advances      to  Caesar。
  BRUTUS。        What     said  Popilius    Lena?    CASSIUS。       He   wish'd   today   our
  enterprise might thrive。 I fear our purpose is discovered。 BRU
