"JuliusCaesar"waspresented bytheShakespeareClubofW.A. intheAssemblyHallinPerth lastweek.

Take,forexample,thesewords ofCaesar's:

"Cowardsdiemanytimesbeforetheirdeaths; Thevaliantnevertasteofdeath butonce. OfallthewondersthatIyet haveheard, Itseemstomemoststrange menshouldfear; Seeingthatdeath,anecessary end, Willcomewhenitwillcome."

AddtothisonlytheScriptural warning,"Asamanlives,so shallhedie,"andman'sspiritis perfectlyequippedtojourney throughlife,lovingGod,doing noevil,fearingnothing.

Considerhowtheselines, spokenbyAntony,areaprop toaman'scourage:

"0mightyCaesar!dostthoulie solow?

Areallthyconquests,glories, triumphs,spoils, Shrunktothislittlemeasure? Faretheewell.

Iknownot,gentlemen,whatyou intend, Whoelsemustbeletblood,who elseisrank: Ifmyself,thereisnohourso fit AsCaesar'sdeath'shournorno instrument Ofhalfthatworthasthoseyour
