That at his will he may do danger with The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins
Remorse from power And, to speak truth of Caesar, I have not known
when his passions ruled more than his reason But 'tis a common proof Humility is young ambition's ladder,
Whereto the climber-upward turns his face But, when he once attains the upmost round,
He then unto the ladder turns his back, Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend So Caesar may. Then, lest he may, prevent And therefore think him as a serpent's egg,
Which, hatched, would, as his kind, grow mischievous, And kill him in the shell
