Julius Caesar
  

READ STUDY GUIDE: Act II, scenes ii–iv

Act II, Scene iii:
A street near the Capitol.
 
[Enter Artemidorus, reading paper.]
ARTEMIDORUS:
"Caesar, beware of Brutus; take heed of Cassius; come
not near Casca; have an eye to Cinna; trust not Trebonius; mark
well Metellus Cimber; Decius Brutus loves thee not; thou hast
wrong'd Caius Ligarius. There is but one mind in all these men,
and it is bent against Caesar. If thou be'st not immortal, look
about you: security gives way to conspiracy. The mighty gods
defend thee!
Thy lover, Artemidorus."
Here will I stand till Caesar pass along,
And as a suitor will I give him this.
My heart laments that virtue cannot live
Out of the teeth of emulation.—
If thou read this, O Caesar, thou mayest live;
If not, the Fates with traitors do contrive.
[Exit.]
