La Morte di Cesare di Vincenzo Camuccini è un quadro che si trova a Roma nella Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna
Since I was scheduled for a medical test on the morning, I did beware the Ides of March, but the test result was good, so I bewore (bewared?) for nothing, but how was I to know? For the rest of the day, I was a bit groggy from the anesthesia and took no note of the ides.
Actually, 'beware' has no past tense because it is a so-called defective verb.
As for Caesar, he should have paid attention to the soothsayer.
Caesar:PS: The ides refer to the approximate middle day of the month and thus do not necessarily fall on the 15th day. I did not know that until today.
Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue shriller than all the music
Cry "Caesar!" Speak, Caesar is turn'd to hear.
Soothsayer:
Beware the ides of March.
Caesar:
What man is that?
Brutus:
A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.
