Julius Caesar

Neither the sky nor the earth have been quiet tonight. Calphurnia cried out three times in her sleep, “Help, someone! They’re murdering Caesar!” Who’s there?

My lord?

Go tell the priests to perform a sacrifice immediately, and bring me their interpretation of the results.

I will, my lord.

What are you doing, Caesar? Are you planning to go out? You’re not leaving the house today.

I will go out. The things that threaten me have only seen my back. When they see the face of Caesar, they will vanish.

Caesar, I never believed in omens, but now they frighten me. A servant told me the night-watchmen saw horrid sights too, but different ones from what we heard and saw. A lioness gave birth in the streets, and graves cracked open and thrust out their dead.
