Caesar’s home.
Caesar’s wife, Calphurnia, woke screaming from her dream
“You must not to the Senate go, your murder I have seen.”
Said Caesar, "Strange… a prophet too has warned me to beware
Your dreams, his signs, lead me to think, this day I’ll not go there."
Then Decius, a plotter too, arrived to take him hence
But hearing Caesar would not go pretends to take offence.
"Why, Caesar, it’s the Senate’s plan your kingdom to declare
Should you, to them, a coward seem, a crown you’ll never wear."
“A fool am I”, cried Caesar, "to listen to such woe
The Senate’s wish is my command, to the Senate I will go."
Brutus and other plotters arrive to lead him to the Senate.
The plotters came to usher him upon the Senate floor
To mouth false words of praise and love when he came through the door
