Scene IV

Another part of the same street, before the house of Brutus .

I prithee, boy, run to the senate-house; Stay not to answer me, but get thee gone: Why dost thou stay?

I would have had thee there, and here again, Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. O constancy, be strong upon my side, Set a huge mountain ’tween my heart and tongue! I have a man’s mind, but a woman’s might. How hard it is for women to keep counsel! Art thou here yet?

Madam, what should I do? Run to the Capitol, and nothing else? And so return to you, and nothing else?

Yes, bring me word, boy, if thy lord look well, For he went sickly forth: and take good note What Caesar doth, what suitors press to him. Hark, boy! what noise is that?
