They would not have you stir forth to-day.
Plucking the entrails of an offering forth,
They could not find a heart within the beast
What does these lines mean??
Answers
These lines are from the play Julius Caesar where the servant informs Julius Caesar that the priests did not want Caesar to go out since they did not find the heart within the sacrificial beast while killing the animal for giving it to a deity.
EXPLANATION:
Caesar has asked his servant to convey to the Priest to present sacrificial beast before the deity altar and get to know what the priests think about his success. In the first scene of the play Caesar is worried and is seen talking to himself. There was a great commotion the previous night as Calpurnia had a bad dream and in her sleep she cried three times that someone was killing Caesar. Because of this Calpurnia did not want Caesar to go out as there was the possibility of a threat to Caesar’s life.
The servant who later comes in says to Julius Caesar when he was asked by Caesar about the augurers’ (someone who can see the future) proposals whether it was safe for him to go out. The servant replies by saying that they predicted it would not be safe since while removing the gut of the sacrificial beast to offer to the deity and they did not find the beast’s heart. This was considered a bad omen for Caesar.
