Had he known that the variouspapers thrown in his way, were the concoctions of _Cassius_, he wouldnot have made the mistake of supposing that the Romans longed forfreedom, and therefore would be ready to defend it. As it was, heattempted to liberate a people which did not feel its slavery. He failedfor others, but not for himself; for his truth was such that everybodywas true to him. Unlike Jaques with his seven acts of the burlesque ofhuman life, Brutus says at the last, -- "Countrymen, My hea...rt doth joy, that yet, in all my life, I found no man but he was true to me. " Of course all this is in Plutarch. But it is easy to see with whatrelish Shakspere takes it up, setting forth all the aids in himself andin others which Brutus had to being a hero, and thus making therepresentation as credible as possible. We must heartily confess that no amount of genius alone will make a mana good man; that genius only shows the right way--drives no man to walkin it. But there is surely some moral scent in us to let us know whethera man only cares for good from an artistic point of view, or whether headmires and loves good.
