Caesar. You are come in very happy time,

To bear my greeting to the senators

And tell them that I will not come to-day;

Cannot, is false, and that I dare not falser:

I will not come to-day: tell them so, Decius.

Calpurnia. Say he is sick.

Caesar. Shall Caesar send a lie?

Have I in conquest stretch’d mine arm so far,

To be afeard to tell graybeards the truth?

Decius, go tell them Caesar will not come ...
