Read the excerpt from act 2, scene 1, of julius caesar.
portia. brutus is wise, and, were he not in health,
he would embrace the means to come by it.
you have some sick offence within your mind
which by the right and virtue of my place,
i ought to know of. and upon my knees,
i charm you by my once-commended beauty,
by all your vows of love, and that great vow
which did incorporate and make us one,
that you unfold to me, your self, your half,
why you are heavy, and what men tonight
have had resort to you—for here have been
some six or seven, who did hide their faces
even from darkness.
