Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare
(excerpt from Act 1, Scene II)
BRUTUS: Into what dangers would you lead me, Cassius,
That you would have me seek into myself
For that which is not in me?
CASSIUS: Therefore, good Brutus, be prepared to hear.
And since you know you cannot see yourself
So well as by reflection, I, your glass,
Will modestly discover to yourself
That of yourself which you yet know not of.
And be not jealous on me, gentle Brutus.
Were I a common laugher, or did use
To stale with ordinary oaths my love
To every new protester, if you know
That I do fawn on men and hug them hard
And, after, scandal them, or if you know
That I profess myself in banqueting
To all the rout, then hold me dangerous.
