More than two thousand years ago
Back to the time of Julius Caesar
You know him - he's that Roman geezer.

And standing only five feet tall,
He conquered Gaul and Britannia,
Greece, North Africa and Hispania

He was a clever man and most ambitious
And some did say he was quite vicious
Judge for yourselves, you will see him soon
Welcome to Rome, it's half past noon.

Caesar
You understand me well Brutus. That is why you are my friend. Cassius, gather my army. I think I will go and conquer Egypt. We'll go on Sunday after the games. (Exit Caesar).
(Brutus pays the slave master and the crowd moves off)
Brutus
Cassius, Caesar worries me. He's getting too big for his boots.
Cassius
I feel the same. The next thing we'll know is that he wants to be king!
Brutus
The last king, Tarquirius, was a disaster! We can't let it happen again.
Cassius
What are you saying Brutus?
Brutus
Nothing yet. Let's see what happens

(Enter slave with rolled up carpet)
Egyptian
We have brought Caesar a gift.
Caesar
Thank you, but I have plenty of carpets in my palace in Rome.
Egyptian
But this isn't just a carpet! It is a wrapping for a special gift.
Caesar
Then kindly unwrap it.
(Carpet is unrolled and Cleopatra emerges)
My word! What a beautiful girl!
Cleopatra
My name is Cleopatra, the rightful Queen of Egypt. You have conquered my country and you have conquered my heart.
Caesar
And you have conquered mine and I have only known you five seconds.
Cleopatra
Yes I have that effect on men.
Caesar
And when I am the king of Rome I will bring you to Rome and you shall be my queen.
Cleopatra
A little bird told me that you already have a wife, Pompeia.
Caesar
A little poison will cure me of her. Come and show me the Pyramids.
(Caesar and Cleopatra go off)

Pompeia
Julius, don't go. I have had a terrible dream. I dreamed that you're going to die.

Pompeia, don't fuss so! Your silly dreams won't stop me from going. I want to be the new King of Rome!
(Starts making his way)
Soothsayer
Caesar! Caesar! Beware the Ides
Beware the Ides of March.

Caesar! Beware the Ides!
Beware the Ides of March.
