‘Tis time to part

Trebonius
’Tis time to part.
Cassius
But it is doubtful yet
Whether Caesar will come forth today or no,
For he is superstitious grown of late,
Quite from the main opinion he held once
Of fantasy, of dreams, and ceremonies.

But when I tell him he hates flatterers
He says he does, being then most flattered

It may be these apparent prodigies,
The unaccustomed terror of this night,
And the persuasion of his augurers
May hold him from the Capitol today.
Decius
Never fear that. If he be so resolv'd,
I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear
That unicorns may be betray'd with trees,
And bears with glasses, elephants with holes,
Lions with toils, and men with flatterers;Ellipses
But when I tell him he hates flatterers
He says he does, being then most flattered.Irony
Let me work;
For I can give his humor the true bent,
And I will bring him to the Capitol.
Cassius
Nay, we will all of us be there to fetch him.
Brutus
By the eighth hour, is that the uttermost?
Cinna
Be that the uttermost, and fail not then.
