Julius Caesar, Act 2, Scene 3

“Caesar, beware of Brutus; take heed of Cassius; come not near Casca; have an eye to Cinna; trust not Trebonius; mark well Metellus Cimber; Decius Brutus loves thee not; thou hast wrong’d Caius Ligarius. There is but one mind in all these men, and it is bent against Caesar. If thou be’st not immortal, look about you: security gives way to conspiracy. The mighty gods defend thee! Thy lover, Artemidorus.” Here will I stand till Caesar pass along, And as a suitor will I give him this. My heart laments that virtue cannot live Out of the teeth of emulation. If thou read this, O Caesar, thou mayest live; If not, the Fates with traitors do contrive.

"Caesar, beware of Brutus; be careful of Cassius; don't go near Casca; keep an eye on Cinna; don't trust Trebonius; watch Metellus Cimber closely; Decius Brutus doesn't love you; you have wronged Caius Ligarius. There is only one mind in all these men, and it is set against Caesar. If you are not immortal, look around you: feeling safe opens the way to conspiracy. May the mighty gods protect you! Your friend, Artemidorus." I'll stand here until Caesar comes past, and I'll hand him this as though I were a petitioner. My heart grieves that goodness cannot live beyond the reach of rivalry's teeth. If you read this, Caesar, you may live; if not, the Fates are plotting along with traitors.
