 Garrick's Villa.

Further, we find in the old book that Caesar, doing sacrifice unto the gods, found that one of the beasts which was sacrificed had no heart and "that it was a strange thing in nature how a beast could live without a heart."

Shakespeare wrote:

And then the death of Cæsar, with every detail, and the ghost that came to Brutus, all are here.
