Ah, it’s The Ides of March. And so here’s a Quotations from Julius Caesar Quiz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Good luck! My score was only stumblingly okay … got the famous ones right, basically.<\/p>\n

And just for kicks …<\/p>\n


\nHere is “the moment before” in Julius Caesar<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Act II, scene iv, (the end of the act). I love the character of Portia. Here, her sense of foreboding grows. She knows something is going to happen.<\/p>\n

PORTIA <\/b>
\nCome hither, fellow: which way hast thou been?<\/p>\n

Soothsayer <\/b>
\nAt mine own house, good lady.<\/p>\n

PORTIA <\/b>
\nWhat is’t o’clock?<\/p>\n

Soothsayer <\/b>
\nAbout the ninth hour, lady.<\/p>\n

PORTIA <\/b>
\nIs Caesar yet gone to the Capitol?<\/p>\n

Soothsayer <\/b>
\nMadam, not yet: I go to take my stand,
\nTo see him pass on to the Capitol.<\/p>\n

PORTIA <\/b>
\nThou hast some suit to Caesar, hast thou not?<\/p>\n

Soothsayer <\/b>
\nThat I have, lady: if it will please Caesar
\nTo be so good to Caesar as to hear me,
\nI shall beseech him to befriend himself.<\/p>\n

PORTIA <\/b>
\nWhy, know’st thou any harm’s intended towards him?<\/p>\n

Soothsayer <\/b>
\nNone that I know will be, much that I fear may chance.
\nGood morrow to you. Here the street is narrow:
\nThe throng that follows Caesar at the heels,
\nOf senators, of praetors, common suitors,
\nWill crowd a feeble man almost to death:
\nI’ll get me to a place more void, and there
\nSpeak to great Caesar as he comes along.<\/p>\n

Exit<\/i><\/p>\n

PORTIA <\/b>
\nI must go in. Ay me, how weak a thing
\nThe heart of woman is! O Brutus,
\nThe heavens speed thee in thine enterprise!
\nSure, the boy heard me: Brutus hath a suit
\nThat Caesar will not grant. O, I grow faint.
\nRun, Lucius, and commend me to my lord;
\nSay I am merry: come to me again,
\nAnd bring me word what he doth say to thee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
