Enter CINNA the poet, and after him the Plebians.   after him (The Plebians aren't chasing him; they just
    happen upon him.)
     CINNA THE POET   
     I dreamt to-night that I did feast with Caesar,   to-night last night
     And things unlucky charge my fantasy.   things . . . fantasy forebodings fill my imagination
     I have no will to wander forth of doors,   forth of doors outdoors
     Yet something leads me forth.   
    
     First Plebian   
3.3.5     What is your name?   
    
     Second Plebian   
     Whither are you going?   
    
     Third Plebian   
     Where do you dwell?   
    
     Fourth Plebian   
     Are you a married man or a bachelor?   
    
     Second Plebian   
     Answer every man directly.   directly straightforwardly; also, at once
    
     First Plebian   
3.3.10     Ay, and briefly.   
    
     Fourth Plebian   
     Ay, and wisely.   
    
     Third Plebian   
     Ay, and truly, you were best.   you were best you'd better (or else)
    
     CINNA THE POET   
     What is my name? Whither am I going? Where do   
     I dwell? Am I a married man or a bachelor? Then,   
3.3.15     to answer every man directly and briefly, wisely   
     and truly: wisely I say, I am a bachelor.   wisely . . . bachelor (Apparently Cinna is making a
    small joke, the point of which is that it is wise to
     Second Plebian   be a bachelor.)
     That's as much as to say, they are fools that   
     marry. You'll bear me a bang for that, I fear.   bear me a bang get a beating from me
     Proceed directly.   directly without equivocation
    
     CINNA THE POET   
3.3.20     Directly, I am going to Caesar's funeral.   Directly right now, and right away (Cinna is joking
    again, by using the word "directly" in different
     First Plebian   senses than the Plebian did.)
     As a friend or an enemy?   
    
     CINNA THE POET   
     As a friend.   
    
     Second Plebian   
     That matter is answered directly.   
    
     Fourth Plebian   
     For your dwelling—briefly.   For your dwelling i.e., answer the question about
    where you dwell
     CINNA THE POET   
3.3.25     Briefly, I dwell by the Capitol.   
    
     Third Plebian   
     Your name, sir, truly.   
    
     CINNA THE POET   
     Truly, my name is Cinna.   
    
     First Plebian   
     Tear him to pieces; he's a conspirator.   
    
     CINNA THE POET   
     I am Cinna the poet, I am Cinna the poet.   
    
     Fourth Plebian   
3.3.30     Tear him for his bad verses, tear him for his   
     bad verses.   
    
     CINNA THE POET   
     I am not Cinna the conspirator.   
    
     Fourth Plebian   
     It is no matter, his name's Cinna; pluck but his   pluck . . . heart just rip his name out of his heart
     name out of his heart, and turn him going.   turn him going send him packing
    
     Third Plebian   
3.3.35     Tear him, tear him! Come, brands ho! fire-brands:   
     to Brutus', to Cassius'; burn all: some to Decius'   
     house, and some to Casca's; some to Ligarius'.   
     Away, go!   
    
     Exeunt all the Plebians [dragging off Cinna the Poet].
