Me by myself will be presenting the scene where Artemidorus reading a letter that is suppose to be sent to Caesar, and it is telling Caesar to be aware of his close friends and other detailed instruction so that Caesar can live. The significant of this scene is that this shows how Artemidorus loves Caesar, and it will also show how Caesar decide when he receive this letter whether he will believe this letter or stick to his friends which was described as a rival in Artemidorus' letter.

Act 2 Scene 3

A street near the capitol. Enter Artemidorus, reading a paper.

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 suitor will i give him this.
My heart laments that virtue cannot live out of emulation. If thou read this, O Caesar, thou may'st live; If not, the fates with traitors do contrive.
