Scene 2

Lines 60-68

Caesar performs a speech from Act 2, Scene 2 of myShakespeare's Julius Caesar.

And you are come in very happy time

To bear my greeting to the senators

And tell them that I will not come today.

"Cannot" is false; and "that I dare not," falser.

I will not come today — tell them so, Decius.

Say he is sick.

Shall Caesar send a lie?

Have I in conquest stretched mine arm so far

To be afraid to tell greybeards the truth?

Decius, go tell them Caesar will not come.
