We display such a presence hear to plead our thoughts wherefore omens presage happenings and the misprisions that

often come with them

Good even, Casca: Why are you breathless? CASCA Are not you moved, when all the sway of earth Shakes like a thing unfirm? I have seen tempests, when the scolding winds Have rived the knotty oaks, and I have seen Th' ambitious ocean swell and rage and foam, But never till tonight, never till now, Did I go through a tempest dropping fire. Either there is a civil strife in heaven, Or else the world, too saucy with the gods, Incenses them to send destruction. A common Held up his left hand, which did flame and burn Like twenty torches joined; and yet his hand, remained unscorched. Besides the Capitol I met a lion, Who glazed upon me, and went surly by, Without annoying me. And yesterday the bird of night did sit, Even at noon-day, upon the market-place, Hooting and shrieking. When these prodigies Do so conjointly meet, let not men say, These are their reasons, they are natural'; For I believe, they are portentous things Unto the climate that they point upon.

Caesar: Calphurnia here, my wife, stays me at home. She dreamt tonight she saw my statue, Which, Did run pure blood; and lusty Romans Came smiling, and did bathe their hands in it. And these does she apply for warnings and portents And evils imminent; and on her knee Hath begged that I will stay at home today.

Decius: This dream is all amiss interpreted; And know it now. The Senate have concluded To give this day a crown to mighty Caesar. Caesar: How foolish do your fears seem now, Calphurnia! I am ashamed I did yield to them.
