SCENE III.
The same. A Street near the Capitol.
Enter Artemidorus, reading a Paper.
Art.
“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 wronged
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, the fates with traitors do contrive.
[Exit.
