Extract from Julius Caesar

Calpurnia

When beggars die, there are no comets seen;

The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.

Caesar

Cowards die many times before their deaths;

The valiant never taste of death but once.

Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,

It seems to me most strange that men should fear,

Seeing that death, a necessary end,

Will come when it will come.

William Shakespeare

Julius Caesar, Act 2, Scene 2
