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] |
