BRUTUS: Ay, Casca. Tell us what hath chanced today That Caesar looks so sad.
CASCA: [to BRUTUS] You pulled me by the cloak. Would you speak with me?
Why, there was a crown offered him; and, being offered him, he put it by with the back of his hand, thus; and then the people fell a-shouting.
CASSIUS: They shouted thrice. What was the last cry for?
Why, for that too.
Gleiten: 2
CASCA:Ay, marry, was ’t, and he put it by thrice, every time gentler than other, and at every putting-by mine honest neighbors shouted.
BRUTUS:Was the crown offered him thrice?
Why, Antony.
CASSIUS:Who offered him the crown?
Gleiten: 3
Caesar refused the crown that it had almost choked Caesar—for he swooned and fell down at it.
But soft, I pray you. What, did Caesar swoon?
He fell down in the marketplace, and foamed at mouth, and was speechless.
I could tell you more news too. Murellus and Flavius, for pulling scarfs off Caesar’s images, are put to silence. Fare you well. There was more foolery yet, if I could remember it.
Will you dine with me tomorrow?
Good. I will expect you.
Ay, if I be alive and your mind hold and your dinner worth the eating.
