(X): What do the augurers say?

(Y): They would not have you to stir forth today.
Plucking the entrails of an offering forth,
They could not find a heart within the beast.
(X): The gods do this in shame of cowardice.
Caesar should be a beast without a heart
If he should stay at home today for fear.
No, Caesar shall not. Danger knows full well
Caesar is more dangerous than he.
