The Bard Says: Toast!


Closely following the death of his wife, Brutus shares a drink with Caius Cassius, fellow conspirator, with whom he has just had a heated argument. Because everything is falling apart for his cause and in his personal life, Brutus is feeling a bit repentant (though he may not know it yet).

BRUTUS
Speak no more of her. (To Lucius) Give me a bowl of wine.
To Cassius
In this I bury all unkindness, Cassius.
Brutus drinks.
(JC.IV.2.211)

I like this toast.
