Julius Caesar - Act 2, scene 3Act 2, scene 3
⌜Scene 3⌝
Synopsis:
Artemidorus waits in the street for Caesar in order to give him a letter warning him of the conspiracy.
Enter Artemidorus ⌜reading a paper.⌝ARTEMIDORUS 1084 Caesar, beware of Brutus, take heed of
1085 Cassius, come not near Casca, have an eye to Cinna,
1086 trust not Trebonius, mark well Metellus Cimber.
1087 Decius Brutus loves thee not. Thou hast wronged
1088 5 Caius Ligarius. There is but one mind in all these
1089 men, and it is bent against Caesar. If thou beest not
1090 immortal, look about you. Security gives way to
1091 conspiracy. The mighty gods defend thee!
1092 Thy lover,
1093 10 Artemidorus
1094 Here will I stand till Caesar pass along,
1095 And as a suitor will I give him this.
1096 My heart laments that virtue cannot live
1097 Out of the teeth of emulation.
1098 15 If thou read this, O Caesar, thou mayest live;
1099 If not, the Fates with traitors do contrive.
He exits.
