Julius Caesar's Death - Part 2
Storyboard Text
- On the ides of March........
- Caesar:"The gods do this in shame of cowardice.Caesar should be a beast without a heart. If he should stay at home today for fear. No, Caesar shall not. Danger knows full wellThat Caesar is more dangerous than he.We are two lions littered in one day,And I the elder and more terrible. And Caesar shall go forth."
- Caesar's Servant returns and tells Caesar that the animal they examined didn't have a heart - a bad sign.
- Servant:"They would not have you to stir forth today.Plucking the entrails of an offering forth,They could not find a heart within the beast."
- Calphurnia:"Say he's sick"
- Calphurnia:"Alas, my lord, Your wisdom is consumed in confidence. Do not go forth today. Call it my fear, That keeps you in the house, and not your own. We’ll send Mark Antony to the senate house, And he shall say you are not well today. Let me, upon my knee, prevail in this."
- Caesar:"Mark Antony shall say I am not well, And for thy humor I will stay at home.Here's Decius Brutus. He shall tell them so. And you are come in very happy time To bear my greeting to the senators And tell them that I will not come today. “Cannot” is false, and that I dare not, falser. I will not come today. Tell them so, Decius. "
- Caesar:"How foolish do your fears seem now, Calphurnia!I am ashamèd I did yield to them.Give me my robe, for I will go."
- Decius:"This dream is all amiss interpreted. It was a vision fair and fortunate. Your statue spouting blood in many pipes, In which so many smiling Romans bathed, Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck Reviving blood, and that great men shall press For tinctures, stains, relics, and cognizance. This by Calphurnia’s dream is signified. I have, when you have heard what I can say. And know it now: the senate have concluded To give this day a crown to mighty Caesar."
- Decius:"If you shall send them word you will not come,Their minds may change. Besides, it were a mockApt to be rendered for someone to say,“Break up the senate till another timeWhen Caesar’s wife shall meet with better dreams.”100If Caesar hide himself, shall they not whisper,“Lo, Caesar is afraid”?Pardon me, Caesar. For my dear, dear loveTo your proceeding bids me tell you this,And reason to my love is liable."
