Metellus Cimber throws before thy seat
An humble heart,—
[Kneeling][18]
35Cæsar. I must prevent thee, Cimber.
These couchings[19] and these lowly courtesies[20]
Might fire the blood of ordinary men,
And turn pre-ordinance and first decree[21]
Into the law[22][23] of children. Be not fond,
40To think[24] that Cæsar bears such rebel blood
