Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ...and fawn for him, I spurn thee like a cur out of my way. Met. Caesar, thou dost me wrong. Cces. Caesar did never wrong but with just cause,10 Nor without cause will he be satisfied. Met. Is there no voice more worthy than my own, To sound more sweetly in great Caesar's ear For the repealing11 of my banish'd brother? 7 Among the proper senses of to couch, Richardson gives " to lower, to stoop, to bend down "; and he says that" to couch and to lower have similar applications, and probably the same origin." 8 " Pre-ordinance and first decree" is, I take it, the ruling or enactment of the highest authority in the Stale.

To wring and to wrest are from the same root as wrong. See Critical Notes. 11 To repeal from banishment is, in old English, to recall by repealing the sentence. See Richard the Second, page 84, note 8. Bru. I kiss thy hand, but not in flattery, Caesar; Desiring thee that Publius Cimber may Have an immediate freedom of repeal. Cms. What, Brutus! Cass.
