SCENE III.
A street near the Capitol.
Enter Artemidorus, reading a paper.
Cæsar, beware of Brutus; take heed of Cassius; come
not near Casca; have an eye to Cinna; trust not Trebonius;
mark well Metellus Cimber: Decius Brutus loves
thee not; thou hast wrong'd Caius Ligarius. There is
but one mind in all these men, and it is bent against Cæsar.
If thou be'st not immortal, look about you: Security gives
way to conspiracy. The mighty gods defend thee!
Thy lover,
Artemidorus.
Here will I stand, 'till Cæsar pass along,
And as a suitor will I give him this.
My heart laments, that virtue cannot live
Out of the teeth of emulation.
If thou read this, O Cæsar, thou may'st live;
If not, 4 notethe fates with traitors do contrive.
