[I, 2]

Cassius

As they pass by, pluck Casca by the sleeve;
And he will, after his sour fashion, tell you
What hath proceeded worthy note to-day.

[I, 2]

[I, 2]

Brutus

Ay, Casca; tell us what hath chanced to-day,
That Caesar looks so sad.

I should not then ask Casca what had chanced.

Tell us the manner of it, gentle Casca.

8

No, Caesar hath it not; but you and I,
And honest Casca, we have the falling sickness.

Julius Caesar
[I, 2]

Cassius

Will you sup with me to-night, Casca?

[Thunder and lightning. Enter from opposite sides, CASCA, with his sword drawn, and CICERO]

11

Julius Caesar
[I, 3]

Cicero

422

Good even, Casca: brought you Caesar home?
Why are you breathless? and why stare you so?

12

Julius Caesar
[I, 3]

Cicero

460

Good night then, Casca: this disturbed sky
Is not to walk in.

13

Julius Caesar
[I, 3]

Cassius

467

Casca, by your voice.

14

Julius Caesar
[I, 3]

Cassius

471

Those that have known the earth so full of faults.
For my part, I have walk'd about the streets,
Submitting me unto the perilous night,
And, thus unbraced, Casca, as you see,
Have bared my bosom to the thunder-stone;
And when the cross blue lightning seem'd to open
The breast of heaven, I did present myself
Even in the aim and very flash of it.

15

Julius Caesar
[I, 3]

Cassius

483

You are dull, Casca, and those sparks of life
That should be in a Roman you do want,
Or else you use not. You look pale and gaze
And put on fear and cast yourself in wonder,
To see the strange impatience of the heavens:
But if you would consider the true cause
Why all these fires, why all these gliding ghosts,
Why birds and beasts from quality and kind,
Why old men fool and children calculate,
Why all these things change from their ordinance
Their natures and preformed faculties
To monstrous quality,—why, you shall find
That heaven hath infused them with these spirits,
To make them instruments of fear and warning
Unto some monstrous state.
Now could I, Casca, name to thee a man
Most like this dreadful night,
That thunders, lightens, opens graves, and roars
As doth the lion in the Capitol,
A man no mightier than thyself or me
In personal action, yet prodigious grown
And fearful, as these strange eruptions are.

16

Julius Caesar
[I, 3]

Casca

544

You speak to Casca, and to such a man
That is no fleering tell-tale. Hold, my hand:
Be factious for redress of all these griefs,
And I will set this foot of mine as far
As who goes farthest.

17

Julius Caesar
[I, 3]

Cassius

549

There's a bargain made.
Now know you, Casca, I have moved already
Some certain of the noblest-minded Romans
To undergo with me an enterprise
Of honourable-dangerous consequence;
And I do know, by this, they stay for me
In Pompey's porch: for now, this fearful night,
There is no stir or walking in the streets;
And the complexion of the element
In favour's like the work we have in hand,
Most bloody, fiery, and most terrible.

18

Julius Caesar
[I, 3]

Cassius

566

No, it is Casca; one incorporate
To our attempts. Am I not stay'd for, Cinna?

19

Julius Caesar
[I, 3]

Cassius

584

That done, repair to Pompey's theatre.
[Exit CINNA]
Come, Casca, you and I will yet ere day
See Brutus at his house: three parts of him
Is ours already, and the man entire
Upon the next encounter yields him ours.

20

Julius Caesar
[II, 1]

Brutus

688

Let 'em enter.
[Exit LUCIUS]
They are the faction. O conspiracy,
Shamest thou to show thy dangerous brow by night,
When evils are most free? O, then by day
Where wilt thou find a cavern dark enough
To mask thy monstrous visage? Seek none, conspiracy;
Hide it in smiles and affability:
For if thou path, thy native semblance on,
Not Erebus itself were dim enough
To hide thee from prevention.
[Enter the conspirators, CASSIUS, CASCA, DECIUS
BRUTUS, CINNA, METELLUS CIMBER, and TREBONIUS]
