- Caesar JC II,ii
-----------------------------------------------------
. . . . Julius Caesar : Act I, scene II
.
Cassi. Why man, he doth bestride the narrow world
. Like a Colossus, and we petty men
. Walke vnder his huge legges, and peepe about
. To finde our selues dishonourable Graues.
. Men at sometime, are Masters of their *FATES*.
. The fault (deere Brutus) is not in our Starres,
. But in our Selues, that we are vnderlings.
. Brutus and Caesar: What should be in that Caesar?
. Why should that name be sounded more then yours .
. Write them together: Yours, is *as faire a NAME*:
. Sound them, it doth become the mouth aswell:
. Weigh them, it is as heauy: Coniure with 'em,
.
. Brutus will start a Spir(I)t as soone (A)s Caesar.
. N(O)w (I)n the *NA{M}ES of (A)ll the Gods at (O)nce,
. Vpon what [M]eate doth this our Caesar feede,
. Th[A]t he is growne so great? Age, thou art [S]ham'd.
. Rome, thou hast lost the breed [O]f *NOBLE BLOODS*.
. When went there by a[N] Age, since the great Flood,
. But it wa[S] fam'd with more then with ONE M{A}N?
. When cou{L}d they say ({T}ill now) th{A}t talk'd of {R}ome,
. That h{E}r wide Walkes incompast but ONE MAN?

. Now is it Rome indeed, and Roome enough
. When there is in it but one onely man.
. O! you and I, haue heard our Fathers say,
. There was a Brutus once, that would haue brook'd
. Th'eternall Diuell to keepe his State in Rome,
. As easily as a King.
.
Bru. That you do loue me, I am nothing iealous:
. What you would worke me too, I haue some ayme:
. How I haue thought of this, and of these times
. I shall recount heereafter. For this present,
. I would not so (with loue I might intreat you)
. Be any further moou'd: What you haue said,
. I will consider: what you haue to say
. I will with patience heare, and finde a time
. Both meete to heare, and answer such high things.
. Till then, my Noble Friend, chew vpon this:
. Brutus had rather be a Villager,
. Then to repute himselfe a Sonne of Rome
. Vnder these hard Conditions, as this time
. Is like to lay vpon vs.
.
Cassi. I am glad that my weake words
. Haue strucke but thus much shew of fire from Brutus.
.
. Enter Caesar and his Traine.
.
Bru. The Games are done, And Caesar is returning.
.
Cassi. As they passe by,
. Plucke Caska by the Sleeue,
. And he will (after his sowre fashion) tell you
. What hath proceeded worthy note to day.
.
Bru. I will do so: but looke you Cassius,
. The angry spot doth glow on Caesars brow,
. And all the rest, looke like a chidden Traine;
. Calphurnia's Cheeke is pale, and *CICERO*
. Lookes with such Ferret, and such fiery eyes
. As we haue seene him in the Capitoll
. Being crost in Conference, by some Senators.
.
Cassi. Caska will tell vs what the matter is.
.
Caes. Antonio.
.
Ant. Caesar.
.
Caes. Let me haue men about me, that are fat,
. Sleeke-headed men, and such as sleepe a-nights:
. Yond Cassius has a leane and hungry looke,
. He thinkes too much: such men are dangerous.
.
Ant. Feare him not Caesar, he's not dangerous,
. He is a Noble Roman, and well giuen.
.
Caesar: Would he were fatter; But I feare him not:
. Yet if my name were lyable to feare,
. I do not know the man I should avoyd
. So soone as that spare Cassius. He reades much,
. He is a great Observer, and he lookes
. Quite through the Deeds of men. He loves no Playes,
. As thou dost Antony: he heares no Musicke;
. Seldome h[E] smiles, and smiles in such a sort
. As if he mock'[D] himselfe, and scorn'd his spirit
. That could b[E] mov'd to smile at any thing.
. Such men as he, be ne[V]er at hearts ease,
. Whiles they behold a great[E]r then themselves,
. And therefore are they ve[R]y dangerous.
. I rather tell thee what is to be f[E]ar'd,
. Then what I feare: for alwayes {I am *CAESAR*}.
. [COME] on my right hand, for *this EARe is DEAFe*,
. And tell me TRUEly, what thou think'st of him.

<< Many times he fell into those things [that] could not
escape laughter, as when he said in the person of *CAESAR*,
one speaking to him, "*CAESAR* thou dost me wrong".
He replied,
"[CAESAR NEVER DID WR]ong, but with just cause",
and such like, which were ridiculous.>> -- Ben Jonson

_ *DEAFe IN MY EARe, I SEE*
.
Though by your zeal, FORTUNE, you keep perfidy's
murmurs & schemings at a distance, nonetheless I learn
(at which my mind & ear *QUAKE*) that our bodies have
been deafened with respect to evil affairs. Indeed,
I perceive men who come close to *CATILINE* in deception,
freeing other men's *FATES* by their death.
.
¶ *CATILINE* was the rabble-rouser suppressed by *CICERO*.
His name became a watchword for incendiary troublemakers.>>

. Monstrous Adversary by Alan H. Nelson (p.206)

<<Oxford claimed...to have made 'certaiyne excellent oracions'
at Venice, Padua, and Bologna, so that he was 'reputed for his
eloquence another *CICERO* and for his conducke a *CEASER*.'>>

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippicae
<<The Philippics are a series of 14 speeches *CICERO* gave condemning
Mark Antony in 44 and 43 BC. *CICERO* likened these speeches to those
of Demosthenes' Philippic (Ad Atticus, 2.1.3), which Demosthenes
had delivered against Philip of Macedon. *CICERO*'s Second Philippic
is styled after Demosthenes' De Corona ('On the Crown').>>
