 1129[2.3]
 Enter Artemidorus [reading a paper].
 2.3.11130Artemidorus
 "Caesar, beware of Brutus; take heed of Cassius; come 1131not near Casca; have an eye to Cinna; trust not Trebonius; mark 1132well Metellus Cimber. Decius Brutus loves thee not. Thou 1133hast wronged Caius Ligarius. There is but one mind in all 1134these men, and it is bent against Caesar. If thou be'est not 1135immortal, look about you. Security gives way to conspiracy. 1136The mighty gods defend thee.
 1137Thy lover, Artemidorus."
 2.3.21138Here will I stand, till Caesar pass along,
 2.3.31139And as a suitor will I give him this.
 2.3.41140My heart laments that virtue cannot live
 2.3.51141Out of the teeth of emulation.
 2.3.61142If thou read this, O Caesar, thou mayst live;
 2.3.71143If not, the Fates with traitors do contrive.
 2.3.7.1Exit.
