Refer to the following except from William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar:

O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth, That I am meek and gentle with these butchers! Thou art the ruins of the noblest man That ever lived in the tide of times.
5Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood! Over thy wounds now do I prophesy (Which like dumb mouths do ope their ruby lips To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue) A curse shall light upon the limbs of men;

15Their infants quarter’d with the hands of war; All pity choked with custom of fell deeds, And Caesar’s spirit ranging for revenge, With Ate by his side come hot from hell, Shall in these confines with a monarch’s voice
20Cry “Havoc!” and let slip the dogs of war, That this foul deed shall smell above the earth With carrion men, groaning for burial
