P. 2199
What Caesar doth, what suitors press to him. [15]
Hark, boy! What noise is that?
LUCIUS
I hear none, madam.
PORTIA
Prithee listen well.
I heard a bustling rumour like a fray,
And the wind brings it from the Capitol.
LUCIUS
Sooth, madam, I hear nothing. [20]
Enter the Soothsayer.
PORTIA
Come hither, fellow. Which way hast thou been?
SOOTHSAYER
At mine own house, good lady.
PORTIA
What is’t o’clock?
SOOTHSAYER
About the ninth hour, lady.
PORTIA
Is Caesar yet gone to the Capitol?
SOOTHSAYER
Madam, not yet − I go to take my stand, [25]
To see him pass on to the Capitol.
PORTIA
Thou hast some suit to Caesar, hast thou not?
