CASCA

You pulled me by the cloak. Would you speak with me? [215]

BRUTUS
Ay, Casca; tell us what hath chanced today
That Caesar looks so sad.

CASCA
Why, you were with him, were you not?

BRUTUS
I should not then ask Casca what had chanced.

CASCA

Why, there was a crown offered him; and being [220] offered him, he put it
by with the back of his hand, thus; and then the people fell a-shouting.

BRUTUS
What was the second noise for?

CASCA
Why, for that too.

CASSIUS
They shouted thrice. What was the last cry for? [225]

CASCA
Why, for that too.

BRUTUS
Was the crown offered him thrice?

CASCA
Ay, marry, was’t, and he put it by thrice, every time gentler than other; and

at every putting-by, mine honest neighbours shouted. [230]
