"BRUTUS.
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.",2011-06-06 03:21:45 UTC,"""The strong Impression / May break my Heart, but shall not bend my Mind.""",2005-05-15 00:00:00 UTC,"","",2011-06-05,Impressions,•Is this not actually drama?

"BRUTUS
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:
Not the most tempting Charms of Wit, or Worth,
Most graceful Forms, or dazling Shew of Greatness,
Can make Impression on a Mind like her's;
Who, tho' my Sister, forces Praises from me.",2009-09-14 19:36:50 UTC,"""Not the most tempting Charms of Wit, or Worth, / Most graceful Forms, or dazling Shew of Greatness, / Can make Impression on a Mind like her's""",2005-05-15 00:00:00 UTC,"","",,Impression,•Is this not actually drama?

"Come, let us bear him to the Market-place.
This is a Jewel yet, tho' dropt by Fortune;
With which we'll purchase Popularity,
And set up for ourselves in this new World.
Our Tears and Grief will soften their hard Hearts,
Fit to receive Impression from our Words.
And when Crowds listen once, there is no Fear:
They have the People's Hearts, who have their Ear.",2009-09-14 19:36:50 UTC,"""Our Tears and Grief will soften their hard Hearts, / Fit to receive Impression from our Words.""",2005-05-16 00:00:00 UTC,"","",,Impression,•Is this not actually drama?
