Original Text Modern Text
85 For if thou path, thy native semblance on,
  Not Erebus itself were dim enough
  To hide thee from prevention.
If you went ahead and exposed your true face, Hell itself wouldn't be dark enough to keep you from being found and stopped.
Enter the conspirators: CASSIUS, CASCA, DECIUS, CINNA, METELLUS, and TREBONIUS
The conspirators—CASSIUS, CASCA, DECIUS, CINNA, METELLUS, and TREBONIUS—enter.
 CASSIUS
  I think we are too bold upon your rest.
  Good morrow, Brutus. Do we trouble you?
CASSIUS
I'm afraid we're intruding too boldly on your sleep time. Good morning, Brutus. Are we bothering you?
 BRUTUS
90 I have been up this hour, awake all night.
  Know I these men that come along with you?
BRUTUS
I was awake. I've been up all night. Do I know these men who are with you?
 CASSIUS
  Yes, every man of them, and no man here
  But honors you, and every one doth wish
  You had but that opinion of yourself
95 Which every noble Roman bears of you.
  This is Trebonius.
CASSIUS
Yes, every one of them. There isn't one of them who doesn't admire you, and each one of them wishes you had as high an opinion of yourself as every noble Roman has of you. This is Trebonius.
 BRUTUS
                                  He is welcome hither.
BRUTUS
He's welcome here.
 CASSIUS
  This, Decius Brutus.
CASSIUS
This is Decius Brutus.
 BRUTUS
  He is welcome too.
BRUTUS
He's welcome too.
 CASSIUS
  This, Casca. This, Cinna. And this, Metellus Cimber.
CASSIUS
This is Casca. This is Cinna. And this is Metellus Cimber.
 BRUTUS
100 They are all welcome.
  What watchful cares do interpose themselves
  Betwixt your eyes and night?
BRUTUS
They're all welcome. What worries have kept you awake tonight?
 CASSIUS
  Shall I entreat a word?
CASSIUS
Can I have a word with you?
BRUTUS and CASSIUS withdraw and whisper
BRUTUS and CASSIUS whisper together.
