Have I in conquest stretch'd mine arm so far,
To be afeard[153] to tell graybeards the truth?[154]
Decius, go tell them Cæsar will not come.
Decius. Most mighty Cæsar, let me know some cause,
70Lest I be laugh'd at when I tell them so.
Cæsar. The cause is in my will; I will not come;
That is enough to satisfy the senate.
But, for your private satisfaction,
Because I love you, I will let you know:
75Calpurnia here, my wife, stays me at home.
