CASSIUS
As they pass by, pluck Casca by the sleeve,
And he will, after his sour fashion, tell you
What hath proceeded worthy note today.

CASSIUS
As they pass by, grab Casca by the sleeve, and he’ll tell
you if anything important happened today—in his usual
sour way.

BRUTUS
I will do so. But, look you, Cassius,
The angry spot doth glow on Caesar’s brow,
And all the rest look like a chidden train.
Calphurnia’s cheek is pale, and Cicero
Looks with such ferret and such fiery eyes
As we have seen him in the Capitol
Being crossed in conference by some senators.
|
BRUTUS
I’ll do so. But look, Cassius, Caesar looks angry and
everyone else looks as if they’ve been scolded.
Calphurnia’s face is pale, and Cicero’s eyes are
as red and fiery as they get when senators are arguing with him at
the Capitol.

CASSIUS
Casca will tell us what the matter is.

CASSIUS
Casca will tell us what’s the matter.

CAESAR
(aside to
ANTONY) Let me have men about me that
are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look.
He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous.
|
CAESAR
(speaking so that only ANTONY
can hear) I want the men around me to
be fat, healthy-looking men who sleep at night. That Cassius over
there has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Men like him
are dangerous.
|
|
|
ANTONY
(aside to
CAESAR) Fear him not, Caesar.
He’s not dangerous.
He is a noble Roman and well given.
|
ANTONY
(speaking so that only CAESAR
can hear) Don’t be afraid of
him, Caesar. He isn’t dangerous. He’s a noble
Roman with a good disposition.
