BRUTUS. Remember March, the ides of March, remember. Did not great Julius bleed for justice’ sake? What villain touched his body, that did stab, And not for justice? What, shall one of us, That struck the foremost man of all this world But for supporting robbers, shall we now Contaminate our fingers with base bribes, And sell the mighty space of our large honours For so much trash as may be graspèd thus? I had rather be a dog and bay the moon Than such a Roman. –The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare What is the allusion in this passage? “the ides of March” “supporting robbers” “be a dog and bay the moon” “foremost man of all this world”
