going? Where do I dwell? Am I a married
man, or a bachelor? Then, to answer every
man directly and briefly, wisely and truly:
wisely I say, I am a bachelor.18
Sec. Ple. That's as much as to say, they are
fools that marry; you'll bear me a bang for
that, I fear. Proceed; directly.21
Cin. Directly, I am going to Cæsar's funeral.
First Ple. As a friend or an enemy?
Cin. As a friend.24
Sec. Ple. That matter is answered directly.
Fourth Ple. For your dwelling, briefly?
Cin. Briefly, I dwell by the Capitol.
Third Ple. Your name, sir, truly?28
Cin. Truly, my name is Cinna.
Sec. Ple. Tear him to pieces; he's a con-
spirator!
Cin. I am Cinna the poet, I am Cinna the
poet!33
Fourth Ple. Tear him for his bad verses, tear
him for his bad verses!
Cin. I am not Cinna the conspirator!
Sec. Ple. It is no matter, his name's Cinna;
pluck but his name out of his heart, and turn
him going.39
Third Ple. Tear him, tear him! Come,
brands, ho! Firebrands! To Brutus', to Cassius';
burn all. Some to Decius' house, and some to
Casca's; some to Ligarius'. Away! Go!43
