      BRUTUS

      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

      CASSIUS

      I think we are too bold upon your rest:

      Good morrow, Brutus; do we trouble you?

      BRUTUS

      I have been up this hour, awake all night.

      Know I these men that come along with you?

      CASSIUS

      Yes, every man of them, and no man here

      But honours you; and every one doth wish

      You had but that opinion of yourself

      Which every noble Roman bears of you.

      This is Trebonius.

      BRUTUS

      He is welcome hither.

      CASSIUS

      This, Decius Brutus.

      BRUTUS

      He is welcome too.

      CASSIUS

      This, Casca; this, Cinna; and this, Metellus Cimber.

      BRUTUS

      They are all welcome.

      What watchful cares do interpose themselves

      Betwixt your eyes and night?

      CASSIUS

      Shall I entreat a word?

      BRUTUS and CASSIUS whisper

      DECIUS BRUTUS

      Here lies the east: doth not the day break here?

      CASCA

      No.

      CINNA

      O, pardon, sir, it doth; and yon gray lines

      That fret the clouds are messengers of day.

      CASCA

      You shall confess that you are both deceived.

      Here, as I point my sword, the sun arises,

      Which is a great way growing on the south,

      Weighing the youthful season of the year.

      Some two months hence up higher toward the north

      He first presents his fire; and the high east

      Stands, as the Capitol, directly here.

      BRUTUS

      Give me your hands all over, one by one.

      CASSIUS

      And let us swear our resolution.

      BRUTUS

      No, not an oath: if not the face of men,

      The sufferance of our souls, the time’s abuse, —

      If these be motives weak, break off betimes,

      And every man hence to his idle bed;

      So let high-sighted tyranny range on,

      Till each man drop by lottery. But if these,

      As I am sure they do, bear fire enough

      To kindle cowards and to steel with valour

      The melting spirits of women, then, countrymen,

      What need we any spur but our own cause,

      To prick us to redress? what other bond

      Than secret Romans, that have spoke the word,

      And will not palter? and what other oath

      Than honesty to honesty engaged,

      That this shall be, or we will fall for it?

      Swear priests and cowards and men cautelous,

      Old feeble carrions and such suffering souls

      That welcome wrongs; unto bad causes swear

      Such creatures as men doubt; but do not stain

      The even virtue of our enterprise,

      Nor the insuppressive mettle of our spirits,

      To think that or our cause or our performance

      Did need an oath; when every drop of blood

      That every Roman bears, and nobly bears,

      Is guilty of a several bastardy,

      If he do break the smallest particle

      Of any promise that hath pass’d from him.

      CASSIUS

      But what of Cicero? shall we sound him?

      I think he will stand very strong with us.

      CASCA

      Let us not leave him out.

      CINNA

      No, by no means.

      METELLUS CIMBER

      O, let us have him, for his silver hairs
