ACT 1
Scene 2

...in servile fearfulness.
Enter Caesar, Antony for the course, Calphurnia, Portia, Decius, Cicero, Brutus, Cassius, Casca, a Soothsayer; after them Marullus and Flavius and Commoners.

...leave him. Pass.
Sennet. All but Brutus and Cassius exit.

...from Brutus.
Enter Caesar and his train.

...think’st of him.
Sennet. Caesar and his train exit but Casca remains behind.

ACT 2
Scene 1

...thee from prevention.
Enter the conspirators, Cassius, Casca, Decius, Cinna, Metellus, and Trebonius.

...and Cassius whisper.
Here lies the east; doth not the day break here?

...is not fit.
Shall no man else be touched, but only Caesar?

...the Capitol today.
Never fear that. If he be so resolved,
I can o’ersway him, for he loves to hear
That unicorns may be betrayed with trees,
And bears with glasses, elephants with holes,
Lions with toils, and men with flatterers.
But when I tell him he hates flatterers,
He says he does, being then most flatterèd.
Let me work,
For I can give his humor the true bent,
And I will bring him to the Capitol.


...you every one.
All but Brutus exit.

Scene 2

...lifts her up.
Enter Decius.

...tell them so.
Caesar, all hail! Good morrow, worthy Caesar.
I come to fetch you to the Senate House.


...will not come.
Most mighty Caesar, let me know some cause,
Lest I be laughed at when I tell them so.


...at home today.
This dream is all amiss interpreted.
It was a vision fair and fortunate.
Your statue spouting blood in many pipes,
In which so many smiling Romans bathed,
Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck
Reviving blood, and that great men shall press
For tinctures, stains, relics, and cognizance.
This by Calphurnia’s dream is signified.


...well expounded it.
I have, when you have heard what I can say.
And know it now: the Senate have concluded
To give this day a crown to mighty Caesar.
If you shall send them word you will not come,
Their minds may change. Besides, it were a mock
Apt to be rendered, for someone to say
“Break up the Senate till another time,
When Caesar’s wife shall meet with better dreams.”
If Caesar hide himself, shall they not whisper
“Lo, Caesar is afraid”?
Pardon me, Caesar, for my dear dear love
To your proceeding bids me tell you this,
And reason to my love is liable.


...to think upon.
They exit.

ACT 3
Scene 1

...say to thee.
Flourish. Enter Caesar, Antony, Lepidus; Brutus, Cassius, Casca, Decius, Metellus, Trebonius, Cinna; Publius, Popilius, Artemidorus, the Soothsayer, and other Senators and Petitioners.

...Read this schedule.
Trebonius doth desire you to o’erread,
At your best leisure, this his humble suit.


...to the Capitol.
Caesar goes forward, the rest following.

...of the way.
Where is Metellus Cimber? Let him go
And presently prefer his suit to Caesar.


...lift up Olympus?
kneeling
Great Caesar—

...hands, for me!
As Casca strikes, the others rise up and stab Caesar.

...the pulpit, Brutus.
And Cassius too.

...then, and wash.
They smear their hands and swords with Caesar’s blood.

...their country liberty.
What, shall we forth?

...and follow us.
All but Antony exit.
