JULIUS CÆSAR.

II.

BRUTUS with the Conspirators.

5

"DECIUS. Shall no man else be touched but only Cæsar? CASS. Decius, well urg'd: I think it is not meet, Mark Antony, so well belov'd of Cæsar,

Should outlive Cæsar.

[ocr errors]

BRU. Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius,

To cut the head off, and then hack the limbs;

For Antony is but a limb of Cæsar.

[blocks in formation]

You have some sick offence within your mind,
Which, by the right and virtue of my place
I ought to know of: and upon my knees
I charm you, by my once commended beauty,

That you unfold to me, yourself, your half,
Why you are heavy; and what men to-night
Have had resort to you: for here have been
Some six or seven, who did hide their faces
Even from darkness.

BRU.

Kneel not, gentle Portia.

POR. I should not need, if you were gentle Brutus."

IV.

The Conspirators coming to fetch CESAR to the Capitol.-CALPHURNIA endeavouring to prevent his

going.

"CÆSAR. How foolish do your fears seem now, Calphurnia?

I am ashamed I did yield to them.—

Give me my robe, for I will go :

Good friends, go in, and taste some wine with me;
And we, like friends, will straightway go together.
BRU. That every like is not the same, O Cæsar,
The heart of Brutus yearns to think upon !"

ACT II. S. 2.
