This comparison implies more than steadfastness. Comparing himself to the North Star, Caesar boasts of his constancy, his commitment to the law, and his refusal to waver under any persuasion. Caesar replies that he will adhere to his word and not change his earlier decision. The conspirators have come to Caesar in the Senate under the pretence of pleading for amnesty for Metellus’s banished brother, Publius Cimber. It comes from Act III, Scene I, and is spoken by Caesar to his conspirators right before they assassinate him. I am as constant as the northern star” is a quote from William Shakespeare’s play, Julius Caesar.
