Used to pluck his fine hairs with a tweezer --

August our  sweltering month number 8
Named for Augustus Caesar, a god, but wait!
July already praised Julius Caesar, my heaven
Thus month number 5 became month number 7
Poor October who should be month number 8
Became month number 10, such a sad fate...

Holding rhyme & cadence ,so dear.

Thus making our English lingo sing.

My question is~ would Antony give them all back?

(Julius Caesar, Act 1, Scene 2)


Drat, all the time
I spent reading horoscopes~
I can’t blame my problems on:
Leo, Virgo, Capricorn, Sagittarius,
Cancer, Gemini, Aries, Taurus, Libra,
Aquarius, Pisces and Scorpio.

Here it has been my fault
all along!

She, Queen of Egypt, he, Ceasar of Rome,
Together, their lands united a sea,
Their fusion less capitol, more a home,
A son born to them, though rule, not to be,
Yet, her debut in Rome breathed an epic,
Whilst there, Brutus and his clan, did tragic,
End murdered, Gaius Julius Caesar,
Self-death, Cleopatra Philopator.

glorious and tall i stood...
you could lie and say i was king
and still tell the truth
i defeated Attila the Hun
and outwitted Alexander the great
upstaged Julius Caesar.
i crawled through the dunes of Arabia
and splattered them with bandit blood
i took the lives of many
that my people may be safe another day
i fought bravely for my country
and now, Valhalla awaits.





*i know the history is incorrect, but its figurative....

Ancient Greeks extracted a dye from shellfish
and purple became each potentate's wish.
For the rare purple matched amethyst rings 
a jewel craved by emperors and kings. 

Julius Caesar donned purple, not red
and the Roman Senate ordered him dead.
For purple’s worn by kings, not dictators
and Romans who wore purple, were traitors.

                      A name means nothing
                      on the battlefield.
                      "Julius Caesar"
                      Test of conscience: 
                      tainted with guilt
                           — behind woven brocade
                                            luxury silk ties.
                      Public praise,
                      laurel wreath.
                      Ridiculous reasoning.

"Et tu, Brute?" appears in Act 3 Scene 1 of Julius Caesar. Words of Caesar to Brutus at the moment Brutus strikes.
________________________________________________________________

“Et tu, Brute?”

“Who me? "No! Never! Nay!"
This is yon Cassius’ gig.
I didn't wanna any part of it, you dig?
Now, please ~
kindly turn your head ~  
the other way."...

A cobbler may balance his trade, the mending of soles
  With that of a mender of souls, exchanging roles
With a man of the cloth, making two Roman officials
  Wroth, in the opening scene of Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar'

Yet when barefoot you walk, on cobblestone streets
  It's quite hard to focus on spiritual needs
So there is, indeed, a connection between a man of the cloth and a cobbler
  Perhaps more than between an elected official and a squabbler...
