Some guard these traitors to the block of death, treason's true bed and yielder up of breath Picture Quote #1

Some guard these traitors to the block of death, treason's true bed and yielder up of breath

In William Shakespeare's play, "Julius Caesar," these words are spoken by Mark Antony in Act 4, Scene 1. Antony is referring to the conspirators who have betrayed Caesar and are now facing the consequences of their actions. The line reflects the theme of betrayal and the consequences of treason that runs throughout the play.

The words "Some guard these traitors to the block of death, treason's true bed and yielder up of breath" convey the idea that those who commit treason will ultimately face punishment for their actions. The image of the "block of death" evokes a sense of finality and inevitability, as if the traitors are already condemned to their fate. The phrase "treason's true bed" suggests that treason is the ultimate betrayal, a sin that cannot be forgiven or forgotten. And the phrase "yielder up of breath" emphasizes the idea that those who commit treason will ultimately pay with their lives.
