Bru. That you do love me, I am nothing jealous;
What you would work me to, I have some aim:[2900]
How I have thought of this and of these times,[2901]
I shall recount hereafter; for this present, 165
I would not, so with love I might entreat you,[2902]
Be any further moved. What you have said[2903]
I will consider; what you have to say
I will with patience hear, and find a time
Both meet to hear and answer such high things.[2904] 170
Till then, my noble friend, chew upon this:
Brutus had rather be a villager
Than to repute himself a son of Rome
Under these hard conditions as this time[2905]
Is like to lay upon us. 175
Cas. I am glad that my weak words[2906][2907]
Have struck but thus much show of fire from Brutus.[2907]
Bru. The games are done, and Cæsar is returning.[2908][2909]
Cas. As they pass by, pluck Casca by the sleeve;[2909]
And he will, after his sour fashion, tell you 180
What hath proceeded worthy note to-day.
Re-enter Cæsar and his Train[2910]
Bru. I will do so: but, look you, Cassius,
The angry spot doth glow on Cæsar's brow,[2911]
And all the rest look like a chidden train:
Calpurnia's cheek is pale, and Cicero 185
Looks with such ferret and such fiery eyes
As we have seen him in the Capitol,
Being cross'd in conference by some senators.[2912]
Cas. Casca will tell us what the matter is.
Cæs. Antonius![2913] 190
Ant. Cæsar?
Cæs. Let me have men about me that are fat,[2914]
Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o' nights:[2915]
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look;[2916]
He thinks too much: such men are dangerous. 195
