I have just such an honorable deed in mind, Ligarius, if you were well enough to hear about it.
That must we also. What it is, my Caius,I shall unfold to thee as we are goingTo whom it must be done.

O, what a time have you chose out, brave Caius,To wear a kerchief! Would you were not sick!

Caesar, I never stood on ceremonies,Yet now they fright me. There is one within,Besides the things that we have heard and seen,Recounts most horrid sights seen by the watch.A lioness hath whelpèd in the streets,And graves have yawned and yielded up their dead.Fierce fiery warriors fought upon the cloudsIn ranks and squadrons and right form of war,Which drizzled blood upon the Capitol.The noise of battle hurtled in the air,Horses did neigh, and dying men did groan
Caesar, I’ve never been one to worry about omens, but now they scare me. Someone inside has told us about the terrible things the guards have seen. A lioness has given birth in the streets, and graves have opened, releasing the dead. Fierce, fiery warriors have fought in the clouds in organized battle formations, and blood has seemed to rain down on the Capitol. The sounds of battle filled the air—horses were neighing, and dying men were groaning.
