3. A colossus died that day

Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves.
Men at some time are masters of their fates:
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.

And why should Caesar be a tyrant then?
Poor man! I know he would not be a wolf,
But that he sees the Romans are but sheep:
He were no lion, were not Romans hinds.

Caesar, thou art revenged,
Even with the sword that kill'd thee.

[Jack Rabbit]

4. Aye, Caesar, but not gone

Liberty! Freedom! Tyranny is dead!
Run hence, proclaim, cry it about in the streets.
Some to the common pulpits and cry out
'Liberty, freedom and enfranchisement!'
People and senators!, be not affrighted.
Fly not; stand still; ambition's debt is paid.
-- Julius Caesar, 3.1.78-81
