PLEASE HELP QUICKLY Read the excerpt from Act II of Julius Caesar.

Calpurnia: (Kneeling) Alas, my lord. Do not go forth today. We'll send Mark Antony to the Senate House, and he shall say you are not well today.

Caesar: (Giving in to her plea easily) For thy humor I will stay at home. (He sees Decius enter.) Here's De­cius Brutus. He shall tell them so.

Decius: (Full of hearty smiles) Caesar, all hail! I come to fetch you to the Senate House.

Caesar: Bear my greeting to the senators, and tell them that I will not come today. (Calpurnia rises.)

Decius: (Smoothly covering his surprise) Most mighty Caesar, let me know some cause, lest I be laughed at when I tell them so.

Caesar: (Stiffly, rather embarrassed) Calpurnia here, my wife, stays me at home. She dreamt tonight she saw my statue, which with an hundred spouts did run pure blood. And many Romans came smiling and did bathe their hands in it. (His wife nods, anx­iously.)

Announcer 1: Decius tricks Caesar by making the dream sound good.

Decius: This dream was a vision fair and fortunate. (He thinks fast.) Your statue spouting blood in many pipes signifies that from you great Rome shall suck reviving blood. (Caesar smiles at the idea.)

Announcer 2: Then Decius says that Caesar might look like a coward if he does not go to the Senate.

Decius: Know it now: the Senate have concluded to give this day a crown to mighty Caesar. (Caesar looks very happy.) If you send them word you will not come, their minds may change. (He imitates a gos­sipy voice.) "Break up the Senate till another time, when Caesar's wife shall meet with better dreams." (With heavy mockery) If Caesar hide himself, shall they not whisper, "Lo, Caesar is afraid"?

Caesar: (Shocked, blaming is wife for his worries) How foolish do your fears seem now, Calpurnia! Give me my robe, for I will go. (She shakes her head.)
