The First Web Folio Edition of Shakespeare's Works
| A street near the Capitol. |
| [Enter ARTEMIDORUS, reading a 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 | 5 | ||
| 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, | 10 | ||
| 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 mayst live; | |||
| If not, the Fates with traitors do contrive. | 15 | ||
| [Exit] |
