There is one within, Besides the things that we have heard and seen, 15Recounts most horrid sights seen by the watch. A lioness hath whelpéd in the streets, And graves have yawned, and yielded up their dead. Fierce fiery warriors fight upon the clouds, In ranks and squadrons and right form of war, 20Which drizzled blood upon the Capitol. The noise of battle hurtled in the air, Horses did neigh, and dying men did groan, And ghosts did shriek and squeal about the streets. O Caesar, these things are beyond all use, 25And I do fear them.

I grant I am a woman, but withal A woman well reputed, Cato's daughter. 5Think you I am no stronger than my sex, Being so fathered and so husbanded? Tell me your counsels; I will not disclose 'em. I have made strong proof of my constancy, Giving myself a voluntary wound 10Here in the thigh. Can I bear that with patience, And not my husband's secrets? BRUTUS. O ye gods, Render me worthy of this noble wife! [Knocking within] Hark, hark, one knocks. Portia, go in a while, 15And by and by thy bosom shall partake The secrets of my heart.

What conquest brings he home? What tributaries follow him to Rome To grace in captive bonds his chariot wheels? You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things! 35O, you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome, Knew you not Pompey? Many a time and oft Have you climbed up to walls and battlements, To towers and windows, yea to chimney‐tops, Your infants in your arms, and there have sat 40The livelong day, with patient expectation, To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome. And when you saw his chariot but appear, Have you not made an universal shout, That Tiber trembled underneath her banks 45To hear the replication of your sounds Made in her concave shores? And do you now put on your best attire? And do you now cull out a holiday? And do you now strew flowers in his way, 50That comes in triumph over Pompey's blood? Be gone! Run to your houses, fall upon your knees, Pray to the gods to intermit the plague That needs must light on this ingratitude. FLAVIUS. Go, go, good countrymen, and, for this fault 55Assemble all the poor men of your sort; Draw them to Tiber banks, and weep your tears Into the channel, till the lowest stream Do kiss the most exalted shores of all.
