Seite 135 - Seeking the food he eats, And pleased with what he gets, Come hither, come hither, come hither: Here shall he see No enemy 15 But winter and rough weather.
Seite 8 - Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears : I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them ; The good is oft interred with their bones : So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus Hath told you, Caesar was ambitious : If it were so, it was a grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
