ACT II SCENE III Setting: 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. | 5 | |
| There is but one mind in all these men, and it is | ||
| bent against Caesar. If thou beest not immortal, | ||
| look about you: security gives way to conspiracy. | ||
| The mighty gods defend thee! Thy lover, | ||
| ARTEMIDORUS.' | 10 | |
| Here will I stand till Caesar pass along, | ||
| 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; | 15 | |
| If not, the Fates with traitors do contrive. | ||
