Julius Caesar: Solo/Duet Performance Assessment

Artemidorus: Caesar, beware of brutus; take heed of cassius; come not near Casca; have an eye to Cinna; trust not Trebonius; mark well Metellus Cimber; Decius Brutus loves thee not; thou hast wrong'd Caius Ligarius. "There is but one mind in all these men, and it is bent against Caesar. If thou beest not immortal, look about you: security gives way to conspiracy. The mighty gods defend thee! Thy lover, Artemidorus.

Here will I stand till Caesar pass along, And as a sitter will I give him this. My heart laments that virtue cannot live out of the teeth of emulation. If thou read this, O Caesar, thou may'st live; If not, the fates with traitors do contrive.
