brutus:
remember march; the ides of march remember.
did not great julius bleed for justice’ sake?
what villain touched his body that did stab,
and not for justice? what, shall one of us,
that struck the foremost man of all this world
but for supporting robbers, shall we now
contaminate our fingers with base bribes . . ?
