SHAKESPEARE.

JULIUS CÆSAR, ACT II., SCENE 1.

Butus. It must be by his death: and, for my part,

I know no personal cause to spurn at him,

But for the general. He would be crown'd:

How that might change his nature, there's the question.

It is the bright day that brings forth the adder;
And that craves wary walking. Crown him ?—

That;

And then, I grant, we put a sting in him,
That at his will he may do danger with.

The abuse of greatness is, when it disjoins
Remorse from power: and, to speak truth of Caesar,

I have not known when his affections sway'd
More than his reason. But 'tis a common proof,
That lowliness is young ambition's ladder,
Whereto the climber-upwards turns his face :
But when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend: So Cæsar may;
Then, lest he may, prevent. And, since the quarrel
Will bear no colour for the thing he is,

Fashion it thus; that what he is, augmented,

Would run to these, and these extremities:

And therefore think him as a serpent's egg,

Which, hatch'd, would, as his kind grow mischievous; And kill him in the shell.

IDEM GRÆCE REDDITUM.

Γένοιτ ̓ ἂν ἐκ θανόντος, οὐκ ἄλλως, τάδε.
ἐγὼ μὲν οὖν νιν οὐκ ἄν οἶδα λακτίσας
αὐτὸς δι ̓ αὑτὸν μὴ τὸ κοινὸν ὠφελῶν.
στέφανον μὲν ἂν δέξαιτ'· ἔχων δὲ, τοὺς τρόπους
οἷους μεθαρμόσαιτ ̓ ἄν, οὐκ ἐν εὐκρίτῳ.
λευκὸν γὰρ ἦμαρ τοὺς ὄφεις τίκτειν φιλεῖ,
θέσθαι τοτ ̓ ἤδη χρὴ μαλ ̓ εὐλαβῶς πόδα.
Καὶ δὴ δέδεκται στέφανον· ἀλλ ̓ ἐστεμμένος
κέντροισιν εὐθὺς ἐξοπλίζεται, δι ὧν
δεινόν τι ποιεῖν ἢν θέλῃ, δυνήσεται.
ἀδίκως κρατεῖν εἴωθεν, ἔνθα τοῦ κρατεῖν
ἀποστατῇ τῳ νέμεσις ὑστεροφθόρος.
ἓν γοῦν ἄμεμπτος Καῖσαρ· οὐ γὰρ οἶδ' ὅθ' οἱ
ὁ θυμὸς ὀρθοῦ πλεῖον ἴσχυσεν λόγου.
δηλόν γε μὴν ὡς ἀντὶ κλίμακος πάρα
τιμῆς νέῳ μαργῶντι τὸ σμικρὰ φρονεῖν,
πρὸς ἣν τρέπει μὲν ὄμμ' ἐπαμβατήρ ἔτ ̓ ὤν,
ἤδη δ' ἐπαμβὰς εἰς ἐνηλάτων ἄκρον
ἐπιστρέφει τὰ νῶτ', ἐς οὐρανὸν βλέπων,
κἄχει παρ οὐδὲν τὰς κάτωθε κειμένας
βάσεις δὲ ὧνπερ ὧδ ̓ ἔχει μετάρσιος·
τοιοῦτος οὖν γένοιτο κἂν Καῖσαρ· σὺ δὲ,
μὴ καὶ γένηται δεινός, ἐμποδὼν γενοῦ·
ἐπεὶ δὲ πρόφασίς ἐστιν οὔτ ̓ ἐγκλημά τι
ὄντος τοιούτου τοῦδε, συμβαλεῖν ἔριν,
οὕτω τὸ πρᾶγμα θησόμεσθ', ἁνὴρ ὅδε,
ὢν οἷός ἐστιν, ἢν τι προσλάβῃ πλέον,
ἢ ταῦτ ̓ ἐπ ̓ ἔσχατ ̓ ἢ ἐπ ̓ ἐκεῖνα βήσεται·
τὸν δ ̓ οὖν νομίζων ὠὸν ἑρπετοῦ, δάκνειν
πεφυκὸς εἶτ ̓ ἂν λεπίδ ̓ ἀπορρήξῃ κενήν,
ἔτ ̓ ὄντ ̓ ἔσωθεν λεπίδος οὐκ ἀποκτενεῖς ;
