2 JULIUS Kittredge text. Excerpt 4 Act I, Scene i Excerpt 1 Act I, Scene ii 190 Antonius. ANTONIUS Caesar? Let me have men about me that are fat, Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep a-nights. Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look. 195 He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous. ANTONIUS Fear him not, Caesar; he s not dangerous. He is a noble Roman, and well given. Would he were fatter. Excerpt 2 Act I, Scene ii 285 Will you sup with me tonight, Casca? CASCA No, I am promise d forth Will you dine with me to-morrow? CASCA Ay, if I be alive, and your mind hold, and your dinner Worth the eating. Excerpt 3 Act II, Scene ii 75 Calphurnia here, my wife, stays me at home. She dreamt to-night she saw my statue, Which, like a fountain with an hundred spouts, Did run pure blood; and many lusty Romans Came smiling and did bathe their hands in it. 80 And these does she apply for warnings and portents And evils imminent, and on her knee Hath begg d that I will stay at home to-day. DECIUS This dream is all amiss interpreted; It was a vision fair and fortunate. 85 Your statue spouting blood in many pipes, In which so many smiling Romans bath d, Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck Reviving blood, and that great men shall press For tinctures, stains, relics, and cognizance. 90 This by Calphurnia s dream is signified. And this way have you well expounded it. Let Antony and Caesar fall together. Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius, To cut the head off and then hack the limbs, Like wrath in death and envy afterwards; 165 For Antony is but a limb of Caesar. Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius. We all stand up against the spirit of Caesar, And in the spirit of men there is no blood. O that we then could come by Caesar s spirit 170 And not dismember Caesar! But, alas, Caesar must bleed for it! And, gentle friends, Let s kill him boldly, but not wrathfully; Let s carve him as a dish fit for the gods, Not hew him as a carcass fit for hounds. Excerpt 5 Act II, Scene i 10 It must be by his death; and for my part, I know no personal cause to spurn at him, But for the general. He would be crown d. How that might change his nature, there s the question. It is the bright day that brings forth the adder, 15 And that craves wary walking. Crown him that! And then I grant we put a sting in him That at his will he may do danger with. Th abuse of greatness is, when it disjoins Remorse from power. And to speak truth of Caesar, 20 I have not known when his affections sway d More than his reason. But tis a common proof That lowliness is young ambition s ladder, 30 Fashion it thus; that what he is, augmented, Would run to these and these extremities; And therefore think him as a serpent s egg, Which, hatch d, would as his kind grow mischievous, And kill him in the shell. Excerpt 6 Act I, Scene iv SOOTHSAYER Caesar! Ha! Who calls? CASCA Bid every noise be still. Peace yet again! 15 Who is it in the press that calls on me? I hear a tongue shriller than all the music Cry Caesar! Speak. Caesar is turn d to hear.
3 SOOTHSAYER Beware the ides of March. What man is that? A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March. 20 Set him before me; let me see his face. Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar. What say st thou to me now? Speak once again. SOOTHSAYER Beware the ides of March. He is a dreamer. Let us leave him. Pass. Excerpt 7 Act III, Scene i The ides of March are come. SOOTHSAYER Ay, Caesar, but not gone. ARTEMIDORUS Hail, Caesar! Read this schedule. DECIUS Trebonius doth desire you to o erread 5 (At your best leisure) this his humble suit. ARTEMIDORUS O Caesar, read mine first; for mine s a suit That touches Caesar nearer. Read it, great Caesar! What touches us ourself shall be last serv d. ARTEMIDORUS Delay not, Caesar! Read it instantly! What, is the fellow mad? PUBLIUS 10 Sirrah, give place. Excerpt 8 Act III, Scene i So are we Caesar s friends, that have abridg d 105 His time of fearing death. Stoop, Romans, stoop, And let us bathe our hands in Caesar s blood Up to the elbows and besmear our swords. Then walk we forth, even to the market place, And waving our red weapons o er our heads, 110 Let s all cry Peace, freedom, and liberty! Stoop then and wash. How many ages hence Shall this our lofty scene be acted over In states unborn and accents yet unknown! How many times shall Caesar bleed in sport, 115 That now on Pompey s basis lies along No worthier than the dust. Excerpt 9 Act III, Scene i ANTONY O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, 255 That I am meek and gentle with these butchers! Excerpt 10 Act III, Scene ii ANTONY If you have tears, prepare to shed them now. You all do know this mantle. I remember 170 The first time ever Caesar put it on. Twas on a summer s evening in his tent, That day he overcame the Nervii. Look, in this place ran Cassius dagger through. See what a rent the envious Casca made. 175 Through this the well beloved Brutus stabb d; And as he pluck d his cursed steel away, Mark how the blood of Caesar followed it, As rushing out of doors to be resolv d If Brutus so unkindly knock d or no; 180 For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar s angel. Judge, O you gods, how dearly Caesar lov d him! This was the most unkindest cut of all; For when the noble Caesar saw him stab, Ingratitude, more strong than traitor s arms, 185 Quite vanquish d him. Then burst his mighty heart; And in his mantle muffling up his face, Even at the base of Pompey s statue (Which all the while ran blood) great Caesar fell. O, what a fall was there, my countrymen! 190 Then I, and you, and all of us fell down.
4 Excerpt 11 Act IV, Scene iii O Cassius, I am sick of many griefs. 145 Of your philosophy you make no use If you give place to accidental evils. No man bears sorrow better. Portia is dead. Ha! Portia? She is dead. 150 How scap d I killing when I cross d you so? O insupportable and touching loss! Upon what sickness? Impatient of my absence, And grief that young Octavius with Mark Antony Have made themselves so strong; for with her death 155 That tidings came. With this she fell distract, And (her attendants absent) swallow d fire. And died so? Even so. Excerpt 12 Act IV, Scene iii O ye immortal gods! Excerpt 13 Act V, Scene ii Then, if we lose this battle, You are contented to be led in triumph Thorough the streets of Rome. 110 No, Cassius, no. Think not, thou noble Roman, That ever Brutus will go bound to Rome. He bears too great a mind. But this same day Must end the work the ides of March begun, Excerpt 14 Act V, Scene iii O Julius Caesar, thou art mighty yet! 95 Thy spirit walks abroad and turns our swords In our own proper entrails. Excerpt 15 Act V, Scene v 50 Farewell, good Strato. Caesar, now be still. I kill d not thee with half so good a will. [He runs on his sword and dies.] Excerpt 16 Act V, Scene v ANTONY This was the noblest Roman of them all. All the conspirators save only he 70 Did that they did in envy of great Caesar; He, only in a general honest thought And common good to all, made one of them. His life was gentle, and the elements So mix d in him that Nature might stand up 75 And say to all the world, This was a man! GHOST Thy evil spirit, Brutus. Why com st thou? GHOST To tell thee thou shalt see me at Philippi. Well; then I shall see thee again? GHOST 285 Ay, at Philippi. Why, I will see thee at Philippi then. [Exit Ghost] Now I have taken heart thou vanishest. Ill spirit, I would hold more talk with thee.
5 THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE DRAMA.the drama possesses - if one may symbolize its arrangement by lines a pyramidal structure. It rises from the introduction with the entrance of the exciting forces to the climax, and falls from here to the catastrophe. Between these three parts lie (the parts of) the rise and the fall. Each of these five parts may consist of a single scene, or a succession of connected scenes, but the climax is usually composed of one chief scene. These parts of the ram (a) introduction, (b) rise, (c) climax, (d) return or fall, (e) catastrophe, have each what is peculiar in purpose and in construction. Between them stand three important scenic effects, through which the parts are separated as well as bound together. Of these three dramatic moments, or crises, one, which indicates the beginning of the stirring action, stands between the introduction and the rise; the second, the beginning of the counteraction, between the climax and the return; the third, which must rise once more before the catastrophe, between the return and the catastrophe. They are called here the exciting moment or force, the tragic moment or force, and the moment or force of the last suspense. The operation of the first is necessary to every play; the second and third are good but not indispensable accessories.
