  THE TRAGEDY OF JULIUS CAESAR
  SCENE II。 Camp near Sardis。 Before Brutus' tent。
  Drum。
  Enter   Brutus;   Lucilius;   Lucius;   and   Soldiers;   Titinius   and   Pindarus
  meet them。
  BRUTUS。       Stand;   ho!   LUCILIUS。      Give    the  word;   ho;   and  stand。
  BRUTUS。 What now; Lucilius; is Cassius near? LUCILIUS。 He is at hand;
  and Pindarus is come To do you salutation from his master。 BRUTUS。 He
  greets me well。 Your master; Pindarus; In his own change; or by ill officers;
  Hath given me some worthy cause to wish Things done undone; but if he
  be at hand; I shall be satisfied。 PINDARUS。 I do not doubt But that my
  noble master will appear Such as he is; full of regard and honor。 BRUTUS。
  He   is   not   doubted。 A  word;   Lucilius;   How   he   received   you。   Let   me   be
  resolved。   LUCILIUS。   With   courtesy   and   with   respect   enough;   But   not
  with such familiar instances; Nor with such free and friendly conference;
  As   he   hath   used   of   old。   BRUTUS。   Thou      hast   described   A   hot  friend
  cooling。   Ever   note;   Lucilius;   When   love   begins   to   sicken   and   decay   It
  useth an enforced ceremony。 There are no tricks in plain and simple faith;
  But hollow men; like horses hot at hand; Make gallant show and promise
  of their   mettle; But   when   they  should endure   the bloody  spur; They  fall
  their crests and like deceitful jades Sink in the trial。 Comes his army on?
  LUCILIUS。 They meant his night in Sard is to be quarter'd; The greater
  part;   the   horse   in   general;   Are   come   with   Cassius。   Low   march   within。
  BRUTUS。 Hark; he is arrived。 March gently on to meet him。
  Enter Cassius and his Powers。
  CASSIUS。   Stand;   ho!   BRUTUS。   Stand;   ho!   Speak   the   word   along。
  FIRST SOLDIER。 Stand! SECOND SOLDIER。 Stand! THIRD SOLDIER。
  Stand!     CASSIUS。       Most    noble    brother;   you    have    done    me   wrong。
  BRUTUS。  Judge   me;  you   gods! Wrong   I   mine   enemies? And;  if not   so;
  how should I wrong a brother? CASSIUS。 Brutus; this sober form of yours
  hides   wrongs;   And   when   you   do   them…   BRUTUS。   Cassius;   be   content;
  Speak your griefs softly; I do know you well。 Before the eyes of both our
  armies here; Which should perceive nothing but love from us; Let us not

  wrangle。   Bid   them   move   away;   Then   in   my   tent;   Cassius;   enlarge   your
  griefs;    And    I  will  give   you   audience。     CASSIUS。       Pindarus;    Bid   our
  commanders   lead   their   charges   off A  little   from   this   ground。   BRUTUS。
  Lucilius; do   you   the   like;  and let   no   man   Come   to our tent till   we   have
  done our conference。 Let Lucius and Titinius guard our door。 Exeunt。

  SCENE III。 Brutus' tent。
  Enter Brutus and Cassius。
  CASSIUS。 That you have wrong'd me doth appear in this: You have
  condemn'd and noted Lucius Pella For taking bribes here of the Sardians;
  Wherein my  letters;   praying   on his   side;   Because   I   knew   the   man;   were
  slighted   off。   BRUTUS。   You   wrong'd   yourself   to   write   in   such   a   case。
  CASSIUS。   In   such   a   time   as   this   it   is   not   meet That   every  nice   offense
  should     bear   his  comment。      BRUTUS。       Let   me    tell  you;  Cassius;    you
  yourself Are much condemn'd to have an itching palm; To sell and mart
  your offices for gold To undeservers。 CASSIUS。 I an itching palm? You
  know   that   you   are   Brutus   that   speaks   this;   Or;   by   the   gods;   this   speech
  were else your last。 BRUTUS。 The name of Cassius honors this corruption;
  And chastisement doth therefore hide his head。 CASSIUS。 Chastisement?
  BRUTUS。 Remember March; the ides of March remember。 Did not great
  Julius bleed for justice' sake? What villain touch'd his body; that did stab;
  And not for justice? What; shall one of us; That struck the foremost man
  of all this world But for supporting robbers; shall we now Contaminate our
  fingers with base bribes And sell the mighty space of our large honors For
  so much trash as may be grasped thus? I had rather be a dog; and bay the
  moon; Than such a Roman。 CASSIUS。 Brutus; bait not me; I'll not endure
  it。 You forget yourself To hedge me in。 I am a soldier; I; Older in practice;
  abler   than   yourself   To   make   conditions。   BRUTUS。   Go   to;   you   are   not;
  Cassius。 CASSIUS。 I am。 BRUTUS。 I say you are not。 CASSIUS。 Urge
  me no more; I shall forget myself; Have mind upon your health; tempt me
  no    farther。   BRUTUS。        Away;     slight   man!    CASSIUS。        Is't  possible?
  BRUTUS。 Hear me; for I will speak。 Must I give way and room to your
  rash choler? Shall I be frighted when a madman stares? CASSIUS。 O gods;
  ye   gods!   Must   I   endure   all   this?   BRUTUS。 All   this? Ay;   more。   Fret   till
  your proud heart break。 Go show your slaves how choleric you are; And
  make your bondmen tremble。 Must I bouge? Must I observe you? Must I
  stand and crouch Under your testy humor? By the gods; You shall digest
  the venom of your spleen; Though it do split you; for; from this day forth;
  I'll   use   you   for   my   mirth;   yea;   for   my  laughter;  When   you   are   waspish。

  CASSIUS。 Is it come to this? BRUTUS。 You say you are a better soldier:
  Let it appear so; make your vaunting true; And it shall please me well。 For
  mine   own   part;   I   shall   be   glad   to   learn   of   noble   men。   CASSIUS。   You
  wrong me every way; you wrong me; Brutus。 I said; an elder soldier; not a
  better。   Did   I   say   〃better〃?   BRUTUS。   If   you   did;   I   care   not。   CASSIUS。
  When Caesar lived; he durst not thus have moved me。 BRUTUS。 Peace;
  peace!     You   durst   not   so  have   tempted     him。   CASSIUS。       I  durst   not?
  BRUTUS。 No。 CASSIUS。 What; durst not tempt him? BRUTUS。 For your
  life you durst not。 CASSIUS。 Do not presume too much upon my love; I
  may do that I shall be sorry for。 BRUTUS。 You have done that you should
  be sorry for。 There is no terror; Cassius; in your threats; For I am arm'd so
  strong in honesty; That they pass by me as the idle wind Which I respect
  not。 I did send to you For certain sums of gold; which you denied me; For
  I can raise no money by vile means。 By heaven; I had rather coin my heart
  And drop my blood for drachmas than to wring From the hard hands of
  peasants their vile trash By any indirection。 I did send To you for gold to
  pay   my    legions;   Which     you   denied    me。   Was   that   done   like  Cassius?
  Should I have answer'd Caius Cassius so? When Marcus Brutus grows so
  covetous To   lock   such   rascal   counters   from   his   friends;   Be   ready;   gods;
  with all your thunderbolts; Dash him to pieces! CASSIUS。 I denied you
  not。   BRUTUS。   You   did。   CASSIUS。   I   did   not。   He   was   but   a   fool   That
  brought my answer back。 Brutus hath rived my heart。 A friend should bear
  his   friend's   infirmities;  But   Brutus    makes    mine    greater   than   they   are。
  BRUTUS。 I do not; till you practise them on me。 CASSIUS。 You love me
  not。 BRUTUS。 I do not like your faults。 CASSIUS。 A friendly eye could
  never see   such faults。  BRUTUS。 A  flatterer's would not; though they  do
  appear As huge as high Olympus。 CASSIUS。  Come; Antony; and   young
  Octavius;   come;   Revenge   yourselves   alone   on   Cassius;   For   Cassius   is
  aweary   of     the  world:   Hated    by   one   he  loves;   braved    by  his  brother;
  Check'd like a bondman; all his faults observed; Set in a notebook; learn'd
  and conn'd by rote; To cast into my teeth。 O; I could weep My spirit from
  mine eyes! There is my dagger; And here my naked breast; within; a heart
  Dearer than Pluto's mine; richer than gold。 If that thou best a Roman; take
  it forth; I; that denied thee gold; will give my heart。 Strike; as thou didst at
