Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare (excerpt from Act 1, Scene II)

Question

BRUTUS: Into what dangers would you lead me, Cassius,

That you would have me seek into myself

For that which is not in me?

CASSIUS: Therefore, good Brutus, be prepared to hear.

And since you know you cannot see yourself

So well as by reflection, I, your glass,

Will modestly discover to yourself

That of yourself which you yet know not of.

And be not jealous on me, gentle Brutus.

Were I a common laugher, or did use

To stale with ordinary oaths my love

To every new protester, if you know

That I do fawn on men and hug them hard

And, after, scandal them, or if you know

That I profess myself in banqueting

To all the rout, then hold me dangerous.
