Beware.

Poynter, The Ides of March, 1883


Soothsayer: 
Caesar!

Caesar:

Casca: 
Bid every noise be still: peace yet again!

Caesar:

I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
Cry 'Caesar!' Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear.

Soothsayer:

Caesar:

Brutus:

Caesar:

Cassius:
Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.

Caesar:
What say'st thou to me now? speak once again.

Soothsayer:
