I'd rather be a dog and bay the moon,
Than such a Roman. Cassius says: Brutus, bait not me I'll not endure it: you forget yourself, To hedge me in; I am a soldier, I, Older in practice, abler than yourself To make conditions. Brutus: Go to, you are not, Cassius. Cassius: I am. Brutus: I say you are not. And so they get to it again until: Cassius: Is it come to this? Brutus: You say you are a better soldier: Let it appear so; make your vaunting true, And it shall please me well: for mine own part, I shall be glad to learn of noble men. Cassius: You wrong me every way; you wrong me, Brutus; I said, an elder soldier, not a better. Did I say better? |
