Julius Caesar

Act II, Scene 3

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. 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.

      Here will | I stand,| till Cae|sar pass | along,
           ,      ,        ,        ,          ,
      And as | a suit|or will | I give | him this:
           ,         ,           ,       ,        ,
      My heart | laments,| that vir|tue can|not live
       ,             ,         ,   ,    ,
      Out of | the teeth | of em|ula|tion.
       ,          ,             ,                ,     ,
      If thou | read this,| O* Cae|sar, thou / mayst live;
          ,          ,            ,        ,        ,
      If not,| the Fates | with trait|ors do | contrive.
 
[Exit]
