Some to the common pulpits, and cry out “Liberty, freedom, and enfranchisement!”

People and senators, be not affrighted; Fly not; stand still: ambition’s debt is paid.

Stand fast together, lest some friend of Caesar’s Should chance⁠—

Talk not of standing. Publius, good cheer; There is no harm intended to your person, Nor to no Roman else: so tell them, Publius.

And leave us, Publius; lest that the people, Rushing on us, should do your age some mischief.

Do so: and let no man abide this deed, But we the doers.

Fled to his house amazed: Men, wives and children stare, cry out and run As it were doomsday.
