CASSIUS. There's a bargain made. 120
Now know you, Casca, I have mov'd already
Some certain of the noblest-minded Romans
To undergo with me an enterprise
Of honourable-dangerous consequence;
And I do know, by this they stay for me 125
In Pompey's porch: for now, this fearful night,
There is no stir or walking in the streets,
And the complexion of the element
In favour's like the work we have in hand,
Most bloody, fiery, and most terrible. 130

[Note 129: /In favour's like/ Camb | In favour's, like Johnson
| Is Favors, like F1 F2 | Is Favours, like F3 F4 | Is favour'd
like Capell | Is feav'rous, like Rowe.]

[Note 130: /bloody, fiery/ | bloodie, fierie Ff | bloody-fiery
Dyce.]

[Note 117: /Fleering./ This word of Scandinavian origin seems
to unite the senses of 'grinning,' 'flattering' (see _Love's
Labour's Lost_, V, ii, 109, and Ben Jonson's "fawn and fleer"
in _Volpone_, III, i, 20), and 'sneering,' and so is just the
right epithet for a telltale, who flatters you into saying
that of another which you ought not to say, and then mocks you
by going to that other and telling what you have said.--/Hold,
my hand:/ stay! here is my hand. As men clasp hands in sealing
a bargain. In Rowe's text the comma is omitted.]

[Note 118: /Be factious:/ be active. Or it may mean, 'form a
party,' 'join a conspiracy.'--/griefs:/ grievances. The effect
put for the cause. A common Shakespearian metonymy. Cf. III,
ii, 211; IV, ii, 42, 46.]

[Note 123: /undergo:/ undertake. So in _2 Henry IV_, I, iii,
54; _The Winter's Tale_, II, iii, 164; IV, iv, 554.]

[Note 125: /by this:/ by this time. So in _King Lear_, IV, vi,
45.]

[Note 126: /Pompey's porch./ This was a spacious adjunct to
the huge theater that Pompey had built in the Campus Martius,
outside of the city proper; and there, as Plutarch says in
_Marcus Brutus_, "was set up the image of Pompey, which the
city had made and consecrated in honour of him, when he did
beautify that part of the city with the theatre he built, with
divers porches about it." Here it was that Caesar was stabbed
to death; and though Shakespeare transfers the assassination
to the Capitol, he makes Caesar's blood stain the statue of
Pompey. See III, ii, 187, 188.]

[Note 128: /element:/ sky. Twice Shakespeare seems to poke fun
at t
