QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: Julius Caesar ACT/SCENE: 5.3 SPEAKER: Messala CONTEXT: TITINIUS
No, this was he, Messala,
But Cassius is no more. O setting sun,
As in thy red rays thou dost sink tonight,
So in his red blood Cassius’ day is set.
The sun of Rome is set. Our day is gone.
Clouds, dews, and dangers come! Our deeds are done.
Mistrust of my success hath done this deed.
MESSALA
Mistrust of good success hath done this deed.
O hateful error, melancholy’s child,
Why dost thou show to the apt thoughts of men
The things that are not? O error, soon conceived,
Thou never comest unto a happy birth
But kill’st the mother that engendered thee! DUTCH: Mistrust of good success hath done this deed.
