Fitting task for worthy sons of Rome To sweep from place and life, 'at one bold stroke, The lnen who sway the destinies of Rome. Cassius. It is a bloody work. Nay, do'not Start, As if thejwords ?owed from a coward heart, Distilled by awe of those 'who empire hold Within this Rome. Of -ours._ You know me well; Look in this face of mine, and tell me, true, Canst thou trace aught of fear within its lines, Or quail these eyes beneath thy searching glance Cethegus. No need of that I know thy worth too well 1 will not look. Cassius. Nay, man; but now thou must C'ethegus. Ito please thee, then, since thou wilt have it so. I am content. It is a Roman's face, And this a Bonian's hand. Give it, once more, In earnest of our pact.
