Knowing Caesars arrogance and unrelenting will, Metellus Cimber, then
METELLUS CIMBER Most high, most mighty, and most puissant Caesar, Metellus Cimber throws before thy seat An humble heart,--Kneeling CAESAR I must prevent thee, Cimber
Caesar gazed down haughtily at him
However, every single time the Metellus speaks, it is about another person
These couchings and these lowly courtesies Might fire the blood of ordinary men, And turn pre-ordinance and first decree Into the law of children
The appeal serves the purpose of allowing the conspirators to get near enough to Caesar to assassinate him
They are called Casca, Decius, Cinna, Metellus Cimber, Ligarius and Trebonius
He was one of the assassins of Julius Caesar, creating the diversion that enabled the conspirators to attack
He suggests Ligarius as another possible member of their cause
Who presents his petition first? Metellus Cimber: What does he want? For his brother to return to Rome, to be unbanished
O, let us have him, for his silver hairs Will purchase us a good opinion And buy mens voices to commend our deeds: It shall be said, his judgment ruled our hands; Our youths and wildness shall no whit appear, But all be buried in his gravity
Metellus Cimber
