CASCA. I can as well be hanged as tell the manner of it.
It was mere foolery, I did not mark it. I saw Mark
Antony offer him a crown—yet 'twas not a crown
neither, 'twas one of these coronets—and, as I told245
you he put it by once; but, for all that, to my
thinking he would fain have had it. Then he
offered it to him again; then he put it by again—
but to my thinking he was very loath to lay his
fingers off it. And then he offered it the third250
time; he put it the third time by. And still as he
refused it, the rabblement hooted, and clapped their
chapped hands, and threw up their sweaty nightcaps
and uttered such a deal of stinking breath because
Caesar refused the crown that it had almost choked260
Caesar; for he swooned and fell down at it. And
for mine own part, I durst not laugh for fear of
opening my lips and receiving the bad air.
