SOOTHSAYER. None that I know will be; much that I fear may chance.
Good morrow to you. Here the street is narrow.
The throng that follows Caesar at the heels,
Of senators, of praetors, common suitors,
Will crowd a feeble man almost to death.
I’ll get me to a place more void, and there
Speak to great Caesar as he comes along.
–The Tragedy of Julius Caesar,
William Shakespeare
What line from the text supports the conclusion that the soothsayer is not sure what will happen to Caesar, but has great fears?

“None that I know will be; much that I fear may chance.”
“Good morrow to you. Here the street is narrow.”
“I’ll get me to a place more void, and there Speak to great Caesar as he comes along.”

The line that supports the conclusion that the soothsayer is not sure what will happen to Caesar, but has great fears, is:
“None that I know will be; much that I fear may chance.”
This line indicates that while the soothsayer does not have specific knowledge of harm intended towards Caesar, he does express a sense of fear about the possibilities that may arise.
