I,1 <br />Enter ELPIDIUS MARULLUS tribun of the people and PORTIA, Marcus Brutus's wife, over the stage <br /> <br />PORTIA: Ave, I am saying hello to you. I am seeing the person I saw years ago. <br />MARULLUS: Ave, I see the girl at that time. I see you are the girl you were. <br />PORTIA: Have you regrets? Have you feelings of guilty? <br />MARULLUS: I shall manage everything at the right moment. <br />PORTIA: Somebody thinks he himself will manage it. There are dark presages in the air. <br />MARULLUS: I have given up the idea of bringing in bills. I attend to mysteries with more pleasure. <br />PORTIA: So you have changed your mind. Once you thought you should have changed Rome. <br />MARULLUS: Really? <br />PORTIA: It is change time. Only the dictator does not realize it. He has not made up his mind, is alone. <br />MARULLUS: He is a man. His days can end. <br />PORTIA: Roman woman must abide the republic. <br />MARULLUS: I would like to hold fast to my girl.<br /><br />Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-julius-caesar/
