And yesterday the bird of night did sit |
| |
Even at noon-day upon the marketplace, |
| |
Hooting and shrieking. When these prodigies |
| |
Do so conjointly meet, let not men say, |
| 30 |
“These are their reasons. They are
natural.” |
| |
For I believe they are portentous things |
| |
Unto the climate that they point upon. |
|
|
And yesterday the night owl sat hooting and shrieking in the
marketplace at noon. When all these extraordinary things happen at
once, we shouldn't say, “These happenings can
be explained rationally. They're natural
enough.” I think these things are omens of things to
come in our country. |

| |
Indeed, it is a strange-disposèd time. |
| |
But men may construe things after their fashion, |
| 35 |
Clean from the purpose of the things themselves. |
| |
Comes Caesar to the Capitol tomorrow? |
|
| CICERO |
|
Indeed, it's a strange time. But men tend to interpret
things however suits them and totally miss the actual meaning of the
things themselves. Is Caesar visiting the Capitol tomorrow? |
|
| | CASCA |
| |
He doth, for he did bid Antonius |
| |
Send word to you he would be there tomorrow. |
|
| CASCA |
|
He is, because he told Antonius to tell you he'd be there
tomorrow. |
|
| | CICERO |
| |
Good night then, Casca. This disturbèd sky |
| 40 |
Is not to walk in. |
|
| CICERO |
|
Good night then, Casca. This bad weather isn't good to
walk around in. |

Casca, by your
voice. |

|
It's Casca—I know your voice. |
|
| | CASCA |
| |
Your ear is good. Cassius, what night is this! |
|
| CASCA |
|
Your ear is good. Cassius, what a night this is! |

A very pleasing night to honest men. |

Who ever saw the heavens threaten like this? |
