QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: Julius Caesar ACT/SCENE: 3.1 SPEAKER: Cassius CONTEXT: CASSIUS
I blame you not for praising Caesar so.
But what compact mean you to have with us?
Will you be pricked in number of our friends?
Or shall we on, and not depend on you?
ANTONY
Therefore I took your hands, but was indeed
Swayed from the point by looking down on Caesar.
Friends am I with you all and love you all
Upon this hope: that you shall give me reasons
Why and wherein Caesar was dangerous.
BRUTUS
Or else were this a savage spectacle!
Our reasons are so full of good regard
That were you, Antony, the son of Caesar,
You should be satisfied. DUTCH: Ik laak u niet, omdat gij Caesar prijst;
Doch op wat voet denkt gij met ons te staan?
Wilt gij bij de onzen zijn geteld, of moeten
