CAESAR

Wisdom lives in thee,
And cries not out along the streets as when
None of God's folk that heard regarded her,
As all that hear thy word regard--or die,
Being not outside God's eyeshot. Dost thou sleep
Here in his special keeping--here--to-night,
Brother?

FRANCESCO

What bids thee care to know?

CAESAR

They say
These holy streets of heaven's most holiest choice
Lie dangerous now in darkness if a man
Walk not on holiest errands. Thou, they say,
Wert scarce a Christlike sacrifice if slain.
Too many dead flow down the Tiber's flow
Nightly. They say it.

FRANCESCO

I never called thee yet
Fool.
