CASSIUS.
What, urge you your petitions in the street?
Come to the Capitol.
[Caesar enters the Capitol, the rest following. All the Senators
rise.]
POPILIUS.
I wish your enterprise to-day may thrive.
CASSIUS.
What enterprise, Popilius?
POPILIUS.
Fare you well.
Advances to Caesar.
BRUTUS.
What said Popilius Lena?
CASSIUS.
He wish'd to-day our enterprise might thrive.
I fear our purpose is discovered.
BRUTUS.
Look, how he makes to Caesar: mark him.
CASSIUS.
Casca, be sudden, for we fear prevention. —
Brutus, what shall be done? If this be known,
Cassius or Caesar never shall turn back,
For I will slay myself.
BRUTUS.
Cassius, be constant:
Popilius Lena speaks not of our purposes;
For, look, he smiles, and Caesar doth not change.
