Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar, act 2, scene 4.PORTIA. I prithee, boy, run to the Senate House; Stay not to answer me, but get thee gone.— Why dost thou stay?LUCIUS. To know my errand, madam.PORTIA. I would have had thee there and here again5 Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there. [Aside] O constancy, be strong upon my side; Set a huge mountain 'tween my heart and tongue. I have a man’s mind, but a woman’s might. How hard it is for women to keep counsel!10 [To LUCIUS] Art thou here yet?LUCIUS. Madam, what should I do? Run to the Capitol, and nothing else? And so return to you, and nothing else?PORTIA. Yes, bring me word, boy, if thy lord look well, For he went sickly forth; and take good note15 What Caesar doth, what suitors press to him. Hark, boy, what noise is that?LUCIUS. I hear none, madam.
