What villain touched his body, that did stab, And not for justice?

I had rather be a dog and bay the moon Than such a Roman. CASSIUS: Brutus, bay not me. I’ll not endure it. You forget yourself To hedge me in. I am a soldier, I, Older in practise, abler than yourself To make conditions. BRUTUS: Go to, you are not, Cassius. CASSIUS: I am. BRUTUS: I say you are not.
