Question

BRUTUS. He is not doubted.—A word, Lucillius.

How he received you let me be resolved.

LUCILLIUS. With courtesy and with respect enough,

But not with such familiar instances,

Nor with such free and friendly conference,

As he hath used of old.

BRUTUS. Thou hast described

A hot friend cooling. Ever note, Lucillius:

When love begins to sicken and decay

It useth an enforcèd ceremony.

There are no tricks in plain and simple faith;

But hollow men, like horses hot at hand,

Make gallant show and promise of their mettle;

But when they should endure the bloody spur,

They fall their crests and, like deceitful jades,

Sink in the trial. Comes his army on?

–The Tragedy of Julius Caesar,
William Shakespeare

Answer 2

“Thou hast described a hot friend cooling”

“When love begins to sicken and decay/It useth an enforcèd ceremony”

“But hollow men, like horses hot at hand/Make gallant show and promise of their mettle”

Step-by-step explanation:

The line "Thou hast described a hot friend cooling" supports the conclusion that Brutus and Cassius are in conflict because the description of the friend being "hot" means that the friend is angry. Brutus is saying that Lucillius is describing Cassius as being angry but at least calm. The line that begins "When love begins to sicken" is also indicative of the conflict. Brutus is describing the love that the two friends had a dissolving and now Cassius is simply doing what would be considered polite and courteous rather than the warm greetings or actions of a close friend. The last line uses a simile to compare horses to men to show how when they are in conflict or unsure around another like to boast and show off their strength. This is almost a way of measuring up to the other person.
