Brutus

Then Cassius, elated, said: But what Roman will consent to have thee die in such defence?

Dost thou not know thyself Brutus? Or dost thou think that thy tribunal was covered with inscriptions by weavers and hucksters, and not by the foremost and most influential citizens? From their other praetors they demand gifts and spectacles and gladiatorial combats; but from thee, as a debt thou owest to thy lineage, the abolition of the tyranny; and they are ready and willing to suffer anything in thy behalf, if thou showest thyself to be what they expect and demand.

After this, he embraced Brutus and kissed him, and thus reconciled they betook themselves to their friends.
