BRUTUS. Cassius,

Be not deceived. If I have veiled my look,

I turn the trouble of my countenance

Merely upon myself. Vexèd I am

Of late with passions of some difference,

Conceptions only proper to myself,

Which give some soil, perhaps, to my behaviours.

But let not therefore my good friends be grieved

Among which number, Cassius, be you one

Nor construe any further my neglect

Than that poor Brutus, with himself at war,

Forgets the shows of love to other men.
