Yes, of you, Cassius; if you can believe
I would receive a Favour from a Foe.
Is this a Time to be oblig'd by Cæsar?
Good Gods! had I not Doubts enough before?
Did I not struggle hard enough for Virtue?
That this last Tenderness of his is added
To shake my very Soul? The strong Impression
May break my Heart, but shall not bend my Mind.
Cassius in this is honour'd more than Brutus;
For, when our Country is so much debas'd,
Repulse is glorious, and Advancement Shame:
I'll not be rais'd by him who ruins her.
It was no private Injury provok'd me;
Frowns had not frighten'd me, nor shall his Favours,
With all their Syren Voice, entice me to him.
I must go on thro' Virtue's plainest Course;
In that smooth Path there is no Fear of Falling.",""

Why you have drawn a Picture, my young Varius,
Like any Poet, nay, like any Lover.
What, does that Word draw forth a guilty Blush?
Be not alarm'd, no more than I am, Varius;
Junia's strict Virtue, and known Love to Cassius,
Fully prevent my Fears, unless for you;
Whose Father's wond'rous Merit, and your own,
Give me a soft Concern, as for a Son.
She is above your very vainest Hopes:

Most graceful Forms, or dazling Shew of Greatness,

Oh Brother! let me lowly thus entreat,
That I may answer this Tyrannick King:
With his great Merit, how are you upbraided?
He has recited all his warlike Deeds,
To make Impression on your grateful Heart.
But Sir! consider, I'm a Queen, was doubly Crown'd:
By Birth and Marriage, I am twice a Sovereign.
Think whose I was---Oh! pity Kindred Grief,
And Royal Woes! Mine's not a vulgar Fate,
To be weigh'd out by ev'ry common Hand,
Or at a Moment's Call, to be determin'd.
