What is the meaning of the phrase "I run before my horse to market"?

English

It means to get ahead of yourself.


It comes from a soliloquy in which Richard talks about his plans once Clarence and Edward are dead, but then he brings himself back to earth, saying 'I run before my horse to market', because they are both still alive and only when they are dead can he start counting his gains. It's a little like saying 'counting your chickens before they are hatched.'

Answer: According to Brutus, they killed Caesar because he had too much power.

Explanation:

In Shakespeare's <em>Julius Caesar</em>, Brutus joins a group of conspirators who plot Caesar's murder. Although a friend of Caesar's, Brutus believes that Caesar is dangerous and will become a dictator of Rome. He strongly believes that it will be better for Rome to be governed by the senators than a single ruler. According to Brutus, he and the senators kill Caesar for the purpose of saving the Republic. However, it turns out that it is only Brutus that focuses on this goal. At the end of the play, Brutus confesses that it was harder for him to kill Caesar than to kill himself, which proves that he really had nothing against Caesar as a person:<em> "Caesar, now be still. I killed not thee with half so good a will." </em>The other men have other motives that have nothing to do with the good of Rome.
