Strana 190 - Here is the will, and under Caesar's seal. To every Roman citizen he gives, To every several man, seventy-five drachmas. ****** Moreover he hath left you all his walks, His private arbours, and new-planted orchards, On this side Tiber ; he hath left them you And to your heirs for ever ; common pleasures, To walk abroad and recreate yourselves.
Strana 186 - Let me have men about me that are fat ; Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o' nights. Yond' Cassius has a lean and hungry look ; He thinks too much : such men are dangerous.

His conspiracy against Caesar can only be justified by those, if there are such, who think that a usurper ought to be got rid of in any way. But if a man is to be murdered, one does not expect those to take a part in the act who, after being enemies, have received favours from him, and professed to be friends. The murderers should at least be a man's declared enemies who have just wrongs to avenge. Though Brutus was dissatisfied with...
Strana 135 - ... that Calpurnia was in a deep slumber, but was uttering indistinct words and inarticulate groans in the midst of her sleep ; and indeed she was dreaming that she held her murdered husband in her arms and was weeping over him. Others say this was not the vision that Calpurnia had, but the following: there was attached to Caesar's house...
Strana 132 - Marullus, went up to them and pulled off the diadems, and, having discovered those who had been the first to salute Caesar as king, they led them off' to prison. The people followed, clapping their hands and calling the tribunes Bruti, because it was Brutus who put down the kingly power and placed the sovereignty in the Senate and people instead of its being in the hands of one man. Caesar, being irritated at this, deprived Flavius and Marullus of their office, and while rating them he also insulted...
Strana 137 - Pompeius stood. And the base was drenched with blood, as if Pompeius was directing the vengeance upon his enemy, who was stretched beneath his feet and writhing under his many wounds; for he is said to have received three and twenty wounds.
