Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home? What tributaries follow him to Rome To grace in captive bonds his chariot wheels? You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things! O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome, Knew you not Pompey? Many a time and oft Have you climbed up to walls and battlements, To towers and windows; yea, to chimney tops, Your infants in your arms, and there have sat The live-long day, with patient expectation, To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome[.]
 * **1) (Murellus to Cobbler, p. 9) **

Go, go, good countrymen, and, for this fault, Assemble all the poor men of your sort; <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Draw them to Tiber banks, and weep your tears <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Into the channel, till the lowest stream <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Do kiss the most exalted shores of all. [Exit all the commoners] <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">See whe’er their basest metal be not moved; <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">They vanish tongue-tied in their guiltiness. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Go you down that way towards the Capitol; <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">This way will I. Disrobe the images, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you do find them decked with ceremonies.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">2) (Flavius to Murellus, p. 11) **

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is no matter. Let no images <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Be hung with Caesar’s trophies. I’ll about, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And drive away the vulgar from the streets; <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">So do you too, where you perceive them thick. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">These growing feathers, plucked from Caesar’s wing, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Will make him fly an ordinary pitch, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Who else would soar above the view of men, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And keep us all in servile fearfulness.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">3) (Flavius to Murellus, p. 13) **

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cassius, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Be not deceived. If I have veiled my look, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I turn the trouble of my countenance <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Merely upon myself. Vexéd I am <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Of late with passions of some difference, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Conceptions only proper to myself, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Which give some soil, perhaps, to my behaviors; <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">But let not therefore my good friends be grieved <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">(Among which number, Cassius, be you one), <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Nor construe any further my neglect, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Than that poor Brutus, with himself at war, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Forgets the shows of love to other men.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">4) (Brutus to Cassius, p. 19) **

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Therefore, good Brutus, be prepared to hear. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And, since you know you cannot see yourself <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">So well as by reflection, I, your glass, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Will modestly discover to yourself <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">That of yourself which you yet know not of. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And be not jealous on me, gentle Brutus. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Were I a common laughter, or did use <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">To stale with ordinary oaths my love <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">To every new protester, if you know, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">That I do fawn on men, and hug them hard, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And after scandal them, or if you know, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">That I profess myself in banqueting <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">To all the rout, then hold me dangerous.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">5) (Cassius to Brutus, p. 21) **

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I know that virtue to be in you, Brutus, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">As well as I do know your outward favour. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well, honour is the subject of my story. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I cannot tell what you and other men <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Think of this life, but, for my single self, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I had as lief not be, as live to be <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">In awe of such a thing as I myself. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was born free as Caesar; so were you; <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">We both have fed as well, and we can both <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Endure the winter’s cold as well as he.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">6) (Cassius to Brutus, p. 23) **

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">... and this man <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Is now become a god, and Cassius is <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">A wretched creature, and must bend his body <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">If Caesar carelessly but nod on him. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">He had a fever when he was in Spain, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And, when the fit was on him, I did mark <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">How he did shake; ‘t is true, this god did shake; <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">His coward lips did from their colour fly, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And that same eye, whose bend doth awe the world, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Did lose his lustre; I did hear him groan. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ay, and that tongue of his, that bade the Romans <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mark him, and write his speeches in their books, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">‘Alas,’ it cried, ‘give me some drink, Titinius,’ <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">As a sick girl. Ye gods, it doth amaze me, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">A man of such a feeble temper should <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">So get the start of the majestic world, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And bear the palm alone.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">7) (Cassius to Brutus, p. 25) **

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Like a Colossus, and we petty men <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Walk under his huge legs, and peep about <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">To find ourselves dishonourable graves. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Men at some times are masters of their fates. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">But in ourselves, that we are underlings. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">‘Brutus’ and ‘Caesar’: What should be in that ‘Caesar’? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Why should that name be sounded more than yours? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Write them together, yours is as fair a name; <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sound them, it doth become the mouth as well. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Weigh them, it is as heavy. Conjure with them, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">‘Brutus’ will start a spirit as soon as ‘Caesar’. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now in the names of all the gods at once, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">That he is grown so great? Age, thou art shamed!
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">8) (Cassius to Brutus, p. 25) **

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods! <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">When he went there by an age, since the great flood, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">But it was famed with more than with one man? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">When could they say, till now, that talked of Rome, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">That her wide walls encompassed but one man? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now it is Rome indeed, and room enough, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">When there is in it but one only man. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">O, you and I have heard our fathers say <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">There was a Brutus once, that would have brooked <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">The eternal devil to keep his state in Rome, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">As easily as a king.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">9) (Cassius to Brutus, p. 27) **

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">That you do love me I am nothing jealous; <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">What you would work me to, I have some aim. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">How I have thought of this, and of these times, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I shall recount hereafter. For this present, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I would not, so with love I might entreat you, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Be any further moved. What you have said <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I will consider; what you have to say <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I will with patience hear, and find a time <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Both meet to hear, and answer, such high things.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">10) (Brutus to Cassius, p. 27) **

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Would he were fatter! But I fear him not. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yet if my name were liable to fear, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I do not know the man I should avoid <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">So soon as that spare Cassius. He reads much, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">He is a great observer, and he looks <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Quite through the deeds of men. He loves no plays, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">As thou dost, Antony; he hears no music; <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">As if he mocked himself, and scorned his spirit <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">That could be moved to smile at anything. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Such men as he be never at heart’s ease <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Whiles they behold a greater than themselves, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And therefore are they very dangerous.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">11) (Caesar to Antony, p. 31) **

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can as well be hanged as tell the manner of it. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">It was mere foolery; I did not mark it. I saw Mark <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Antony offer him a crown, yet ‘t was not a crown <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">neither, ‘t was one of these coronets: and, as I told <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">you, he put it by once: but for all that, to my <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">thinking, he would fain have had it. Then he <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">offered it to him again; then he put it by again; but <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">to my thinking, he was very loath to lay his fingers <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">off it. And then he offered it the third time; he put <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">it the third time by, and still as he refused it, the <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">rabblement hooted, and clapped their chapped <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">hands, and threw up their sweaty nightcaps, and <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">uttered such a deal of stinking breath, because <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Caesar refused the crown, that it had almost <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">choked Caesar; for he swooned and fell down at <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">it; and for mine own part, I durst not laugh, for <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">fear of opening my lips, and receiving the bad air.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">12) (Casca to Cassius & Brutus, p. 35) **

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Marry, before he fell down, when he perceived the <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">common herd was glad he refused the crown, he <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">plucked me ope his doublet, and offered them his <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">throat to cut. An I had been a man of any occu- <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">pation, if I would not have taken him at a word, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I would I might go to hell among the rogues. And <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">so he fell. When he came to himself again, he said, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">if he had done or said any thing amiss, he desired <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">their worships to think it was his infirmity. Three <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">or four wenches where I stood, cried ‘Alas, good <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">soul,’ and forgave him with all their hearts. But <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">there’s no need to be taken of them; if Caesar had <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">stabbed their mothers, they would have done no less.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">13) (Casca to Cassius & Brutus, p. 37) **

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well, Brutus, thou art noble; yet I see, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">They honourable metal may be wrought <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">From that it is disposed; therefore ‘t is meet, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">That noble minds keep ever with their likes; <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">For who so firm that cannot be seduced? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Caesar doth bear me hard, but he loves Brutus. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">If I were Brutus now, and he were Cassius, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">He should not humour me. I will this night, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">In several hands, in at his windows throw, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">As if they came from several citizens, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Writings, all tending to the great opinion <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">That Rome holds of his name, wherein obscurely <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Caesar’s ambition shall be glanced at. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And after this, let Caesar seat him sure, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">For we will shake him, or worse days endure.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">14) (Cassius after Brutus has left, p. 41) **

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Are you not moved, when all the sway of earth <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Shakes, like a thing unfirm? O Cicero, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have seen tempests, when the scolding winds <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Have rived the knotty oaks, and I have seen <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">The ambitious ocean swell, and rage, and foam, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">To be exalted with the threatening clouds: <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">But never till tonight, never till now, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Did I go through a tempest dropping fire. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Either there is a civil strife in heaven, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Or else the world, too saucy with the gods, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Incenses them to send destruction.

You look pale and gaze, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And put on fear, and cast yourself in wonder, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">To see the strange impatience of the heavens. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">But if you would consider the true cause, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Why all these fires, why all these gliding ghosts, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Why birds and beasts, from quality and kind, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Why old men, fools, and children calculate, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Why all these things change, from their ordinance, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Their natures, and pre-formed faculties, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">To monstrous quality; why, you shall find, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">That heaven hath infused them with these spirits, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">To make them instruments of fear and warning, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Unto some monstrous state.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And why should Caesar be a tyrant then? <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Poor man, I know he would not be a wolf, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">But that the sees the Romans are but sheep; <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">He were no lion, were not Romans hinds. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Those that with haste will make a mighty fire, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Begin it with weak straws.

But oh grief, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Where hast thou led me?

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">It must be by his death; and for my part, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I know no personal cause to spurn at him, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">But for the general. He would be crowned. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">How that might change his nature, there’s the question. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">It is the bright day that brings forth the adder, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And that craves wary walking. Crown him that, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">And then, I grant, we put a sting in him, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">That at his will he may do danger with. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">Remorse from power. . . || **<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">19) (Brutus to himself, p. 63) ** <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">. . . and, to speak truth of Caesar, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">I have not known when his affections swayed <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">More than his reason.
