Read the passage. Then answer the question that follows.

PORTIA. I must go in. Ay me! How weak a thing

The heart of woman is! O Brutus,

The heavens speed thee in thine enterprise!—

Sure, the boy heard me. Brutus hath a suit

That Caesar will not grant. O, I grow faint!

Run, Lucius, and commend me to my lord.

Say I am merry. Come to me again,

And bring me word what he doth say to thee.

–The Tragedy of Julius Caesar,

William Shakespeare
