QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: Julius Caesar ACT/SCENE: 5.5 SPEAKER: Brutus CONTEXT: BRUTUS
Nay, I am sure it is, Volumnius.
Thou seest the world, Volumnius, how it goes.
Our enemies have beat us to the pit.
It is more worthy to leap in ourselves
Than tarry till they push us. Good Volumnius,
Thou know’st that we two went to school together.
Even for that our love of old, I prithee,
Hold thou my sword hilts, whilst I run on it. DUTCH: Het is zoo ; ‘k ben er zeker van, Volumnius .
Gij ziet, Volumnius, hoe de wereld loopt;
De vijand stiet ons tot aan ‘s afgronds rand;
Het past ons beter, zelf er in te springen,
Dan op zijn stoot to wachten. MORE: Beat=Driven
Pit=Animal trap Topics: conflict, integrity, friendship
