Dialogue

Brutus: "So are we Caesar's friends that have abridged
His time of fearing death. Stoop, Romans, stoop,
And let us bathe our hands in Caesar's blood
Up to the elbows, and besmear our swords.
Then walk we forth, even to the market place,
And waving our red weapons e'er our heads,
Let's all cry "Peace, freedom, and liberty!" (III.i.104-110)
