| Flourish Enter CAESAR,
ANTONY, dressed for the course,
CALPHURNIA, PORTIA,
DECIUS, CICERO,
BRUTUS, CASSIUS,
CASCA, and a SOOTHSAYER in a throng of
plebians. After them, MURELLUS and FLAVIUS |
|
| A trumpet sounds. CAESAR enters,
followed by ANTONY, dressed formally for a foot race,
then CALPHURNIA, PORTIA,
DECIUS, CICERO,
BRUTUS, CASSIUS, and
CASCA. A great crowd follows, among them a
SOOTHSAYER

|
| | CASCA |
| |
Peace, ho! Caesar speaks. |
|
| CASCA |
|
Quiet! Caesar's talking. |
|
|
|
| | CALPHURNIA |
| |
Here, my lord. |
|
| CALPHURNIA |
|
I'm here, my lord. |
|
| | CAESAR |
| 5 |
Stand you directly in Antonius' way |
| |
When he doth run his course.—Antonius! |
|
| CAESAR |
|
Stand right in Antonius's path when he runs the race.
Antonius! |
|
|
|
| | CAESAR |
| |
Forget not in your speed, Antonius, |
| |
To touch Calphurnia, for our elders say |
| 10 |
The barren, touchèd in this holy chase, |
| |
Shake off their sterile curse. |
|
| CAESAR |
|
Antonius, after you take off, don't forget to touch
Calphurnia, because our wise elders say that if you touch an
infertile woman during this holy race, she'll be freed from
the curse of sterility. |
|
| | ANTONY |
| |
I shall
remember. |
| |
When Caesar says, “do this,” it is
performed. |
|
| ANTONY |
|
I'll remember. When Caesar says “do
this,” it is done. |
|
| | CAESAR |
| |
Set on, and leave no ceremony out. |
|
| CAESAR |
|
Continue, then, and don't forget to perform all of the
rituals. |
