If the heaven stand still and smite thee not,
There is no God indeed.
CÆSAR
Nor thou nor I
Know.
ALEXANDER
I could pray to God that God might be,
Were I but mad. Thou sayest I am mad: thou liest:
I do not pray.
CÆSAR
Most holiest father, no.
Thy brain is not so sick yet. Thou and God
Friends? Man, how long would God have let thee live—
Thee?
ALEXANDER
Long enough he hath kept me, to behold
His face as fire—if his it be—and earth
As hell—and thee, begotten of my loins,
Satan.
