For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men.

Be ready, gods, with all your thunderbolts;
Dash him to pieces!
Fortune is merry,
And in this mood will give us anything.
Hear me for my cause, and be silent, that you may hear.
O ye gods,
Render me worthy of this noble wife!
Set honour in one eye and death i' the other,
And I will look on both indifferently.
Thou art a fellow of a good respect;
Thy life hath had some smatch of honour in it.
As dear to me as are the ruddy drops
That visit my sad heart.
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason!
Your wisdom is consum'd in confidence.
Do not go forth to-day.
If thou read this, O Cæsar, thou mayst live;
If not, the Fates with traitors do contrive.
If we do meet again, we'll smile indeed;
If not, 'tis true this parting was well made.
Now sit we close about this taper here,
And call in question our necessities.
So every bondman in his own hand bears
The power to cancel his captivity.
What need we any spur but our own cause,
To prick us to redress?
