ACT III - SCENE III. A street.
Enter CINNA the poet

CINNA THE POET
1    I dreamt to-night that I did feast with Caesar,
2    And things unlucky charge my fantasy:
3    I have no will to wander forth of doors,
4    Yet something leads me forth.
Enter Citizens

First Citizen
5    What is your name?
Second Citizen
6    Whither are you going?
Third Citizen
7    Where do you dwell?
Fourth Citizen
8    Are you a married man or a bachelor?
Second Citizen
9    Answer every man directly.
First Citizen
10   Ay, and briefly.
Fourth Citizen
11   Ay, and wisely.
Third Citizen
12   Ay, and truly, you were best.
CINNA THE POET
13   What is my name? Whither am I going? Where do I
14   dwell? Am I a married man or a bachelor? Then, to
15   answer every man directly and briefly, wisely and
16   truly: wisely I say, I am a bachelor.
Second Citizen
17   That's as much as to say, they are fools that marry:
18   you'll bear me a bang for that, I fear. Proceed; directly.
CINNA THE POET
19   Directly, I am going to Caesar's funeral.
First Citizen
20   As a friend or an enemy?
CINNA THE POET
21   As a friend.
Second Citizen
22   That matter is answered directly.
Fourth Citizen
23   For your dwelling,--briefly.
CINNA THE POET
24   Briefly, I dwell by the Capitol.
Third Citizen
25   Your name, sir, truly.
CINNA THE POET
26   Truly, my name is Cinna.
First Citizen
27   Tear him to pieces; he's a conspirator.
CINNA THE POET
28   I am Cinna the poet, I am Cinna the poet.
Fourth Citizen
29   Tear him for his bad verses, tear him for his bad verses.
CINNA THE POET
30   I am not Cinna the conspirator.
Fourth Citizen
31   It is no matter, his name's Cinna; pluck but his
32   name out of his heart, and turn him going.
Third Citizen
33   Tear him, tear him! Come, brands ho! fire-brands:
34   to Brutus', to Cassius'; burn all: some to Decius'
35   house, and some to Casca's; some to Ligarius': away, go!
Exeunt
