CASSIUS
Cicero one?
CASSIUS
Cicero too?
MESSALA
Cicero is dead,
And by that order of proscription.
(to BRUTUS) Had you your letters from your wife, my lord?
MESSALA
Cicero is dead, by their decree. (to BRUTUS) Have you
received letters from your wife, my lord?
BRUTUS
No, Messala.
BRUTUS
No, Messala.
MESSALA
Nor nothing in your letters writ of her?
MESSALA
And you haven’t heard any news about her in your letters?
190
BRUTUS
Nothing, Messala.
BRUTUS
Nothing, Messala.
MESSALA
That methinks is strange.
MESSALA
I think that’s strange.
BRUTUS
Why ask you? Hear you aught of her in yours?
BRUTUS
Why do you ask? Have you heard something of her in your
letters?
MESSALA
No, my lord.
MESSALA
No, my lord.
BRUTUS
Now, as you are a Roman, tell me true.
BRUTUS
Now, as you’re a Roman, tell me the truth.

MESSALA
Then like a Roman bear the truth I tell.
For certain she is dead, and by strange manner.
MESSALA
Then you must take the truth I have to tell like a Roman. It’s
certain that she is dead, and she died in a strange way.
BRUTUS
Why, farewell, Portia. We must die, Messala.
With meditating that she must die once,
I have the patience to endure it now.
BRUTUS
Well, goodbye, Portia. We all must die, Messala. Having
already thought about the fact that she would have to die
sometime, I can endure her death now.
