“I as your lover speak” (Troilus and Cressida, III.iii.214). And in Julius Caesar remember to interpret the characters correctly when Artemidorus closes his letter to Caesar with the words, “Thy lover” (II.iii.8), Cassius refers to himself and Brutus as “Lovers in peace” (V.i.94), and Brutus harangues the crowd with “Romans, countrymen, and lovers, hear me for my cause” (III.ii.13). The plots could get very confusing, otherwise.
