PORTIA I would have had thee there and here again 5 Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. O constancy, be strong upon my side, Set a huge mountain tween my heart and tongue!

SOOTHSAYER None that I know will be; much that I fear may chance. 35 Good morrow to you. Here the street is narrow. The throng that follows Caesar at the heels, Of senators, of praetors, common suitors, Will crowd a feeble man almost to death. Ill get me to a place more void, and there 40 Speak to great Caesar as he comes along. | OESAOSHRTY nNgoith atth I wkon rfo uers, tbu a tlo htta Im aaridf mtihg pnehap. doGo nmrniog to uyo. eTh sreett is rnawro ehre.
