You pull'd me by the cloak; would you speak
with me?
Ay, Casca; tell us what hath chanced to-day,
That Caesar looks so sad.
Why, you were with him, were you not?
I should not then ask Casca what had chanced.
Why, there was a crown offered him: and being
offered him, he put it by with the back of
thus; and then the people fell a-shouting.
What was the second noise for?
Why, for that too.
They shouted thrice: what was the last cry
for?
Why, for that too.
Was the crown offered him thrice?
Ay, marry, was't, and he put it by thrice,
every
time gentler than other, and at every putting-by
mine honest neighbours shouted.
Who offered him the crown?
Why, Antony.
Tell us the manner of it, gentle Casca.
I can as well be hanged as tell the manner
of it:
it was mere foolery; I did not mark it. I
saw Mark
Antony offer him a crown;--yet 'twas not a
crown
neither, 'twas one of these coronets;--and,
as I told
you, he put it by once: but, for all that,
to my
thinking, he would fain have had it. Then
he
offered it to him again; then he put it by
again:
but, to my thinking, he was very loath to
lay his
fingers off it. And then he offered it the
third
time; he put it the third time by: and still
as he
refused it, the rabblement hooted and clapped
their
chapped hands and threw up their sweaty night-caps
and uttered such a deal of stinking breath
because
Caesar refused the crown that it had almost
choked
Caesar; for he swounded and fell down at it.
