Boy!
Lucius! Fast asleep? It is no matter;
Enjoy the honey-heavy dew of slumber:
Thou hast no figures nor no fantasies,
Which busy care draws in the brains of men;
Therefore thou sleep'st so sound. Julius Caesar, 2. 1
Portia:
Dwell I but in the suburbs
Of your good pleasure? If it be no more,
Portia is Brutus' harlot, not his wife.
Brutus: You are my true and honourable wife,
As dear to me as are the ruddy drops
That visit my sad heart. Julius Caesar, 2. 1
I
grant I am a woman, but, withal,
A woman that Lord Brutus took to wife;
I grant I am a woman, but, withal,
A woman well-reputed, Cato's daughter.
Think you I am no stronger than my sex,
Being so fathered and so husbanded? Julius Caesar, 2. 1
When
beggars die, there are no comets seen;
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes. Julius Caesar, 2. 2
Cowards
die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come. Julius Caesar, 2. 2
Danger
knows full well
That Caesar is more dangerous than he:
We are two lions littered in one day,
And I the edler and more terrible. Julius Caesar, 2. 2
Caesar:
The ides of March are come.
Soothsayer: Ay, Caesar; but not gone. Julius Caesar, 3. 1
But
I am constant as the northern star,
Of whose true-fix'd and resting quality
There is no fellow in the firmament. Julius Caesar, 3. 1
Et
tu, Brute! Then fall Caesar! Julius
Caesar, 3. 1
