Which line is spoken by Artemidorus?

And Caesar's ghost just up from Hell will cry in the voice of a king, 'Havoc!' and unleash the dogs of war.

Caesar, beware of Brutus. Watch Cassius. Don't go near Casca. Keep an eye on Cinna. Don't trust Trebonius.

The line is spoken by Artemidorus. In Julius Caesar, Artemidorus is the loyal citizen who tries to warn Caesar about the conspirators by delivering a letter that names Brutus, Cassius, Casca, Cinna, and Trebonius and urges Caesar to beware. That direct address to Caesar—“Caesar, beware of Brutus. Watch Cassius...” and so on—fits Artemidorus’s purpose and moment: he stands in the street trying to get Caesar to read the warning before the assassination takes place.

The other lines don’t fit Artemidorus’s voice or situation. A line about Caesar’s ghost chanting “Havoc” belongs to a different, nonessential image and isn’t something Artemidorus would deliver in the plotting scene. “Hands, speak for me!” isn’t something Artemidorus says in this moment, and the famous “Cowards die many times…” is Caesar speaking himself, not Artemidorus.

Hands, speak for me!

Cowards die many times before their deaths. The brave experience death only once.
