CASSIUS
I am glad that my weak words Have struck but thus much show of fire from Brutus. BRUTUS
The games are done and Caesar is returning. CASSIUS
As they pass by, pluck Casca by the sleeve; And he will, after his sour fashion, tell you What hath proceeded
worthy note to-day.
Re-enter CAESAR and his Train BRUTUS
I will do so. But, look you, Cassius, The angry spot doth glow on Caesar's brow, And all the rest look like
a chidden train: Calpurnia's cheek is pale; and Cicero Looks with such ferret and such fiery eyes As we
have seen him in the Capitol, Being cross'd in conference by some senators. CASSIUS
Casca will tell us what the matter is. CAESAR
Antonius! ANTONY
Caesar? CAESAR
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. ANTONY
Fear him not, Caesar; he's not dangerous; He is a noble Roman and well given. CAESAR
Would he were fatter! But I fear him not: Yet if my name were liable to fear, I do not know the man I should
avoid So soon as that spare Cassius. He reads much; He is a great observer and he looks Quite through
the deeds of men: he loves no plays, As thou dost, Antony; he hears no music; Seldom he smiles, and
smiles in such a sort As if he mock'd himself and scorn'd his spirit That could be moved to smile at any
thing. Such men as he be never at heart's ease Whiles they behold a greater than themselves, And therefore
are they very dangerous. I rather tell thee what is to be fear'd Than what I fear; for always I am Caesar. Come
on my right hand, for this ear is deaf, And tell me truly what thou think'st of him.
Sennet. Exeunt CAESAR and all his Train, but CASCA CASCA
You pull'd me by the cloak; would you speak with me?
