Julius Caesar
[I, 2]

Brutus

274

I will do so. But, look you, Cassius,
The angry spot doth glow on Caesar's brow,
And all the rest look like a chidden train:
Calpurnia's cheek is pale; and Cicero
Looks with such ferret and such fiery eyes
As we have seen him in the Capitol,
Being cross'd in conference by some senators.

Julius Caesar
[I, 3]

Casca

511

Indeed, they say the senators tomorrow
Mean to establish Caesar as a king;
And he shall wear his crown by sea and land,
In every place, save here in Italy.

Julius Caesar
[II, 2]

Caesar

1040

And you are come in very happy time,
To bear my greeting to the senators
And tell them that I will not come to-day:
Cannot, is false, and that I dare not, falser:
I will not come to-day: tell them so, Decius.

Julius Caesar
[II, 4]

Soothsayer

1174

None that I know will be, much that I fear may chance.
Good morrow to you. Here the street is narrow:
The throng that follows Caesar at the heels,
Of senators, of praetors, common suitors,
Will crowd a feeble man almost to death:
I'll get me to a place more void, and there
Speak to great Caesar as he comes along.

Julius Caesar
[III, 1]

Brutus

1292

People and senators, be not affrighted;
Fly not; stand stiff: ambition's debt is paid.

Julius Caesar
[IV, 3]

Messala

2179

That by proscription and bills of outlawry,
Octavius, Antony, and Lepidus,
Have put to death an hundred senators.

Julius Caesar
[IV, 3]

Brutus

2182

Therein our letters do not well agree;
Mine speak of seventy senators that died
By their proscriptions, Cicero being one.
