And when I asked you what the matter was,
You stared upon me with ungentle looks.

And too impatiently stamped with your foot.

But with an angry wafture of your hand
Gave sign for me to leave you. So I did,
O Portia is upset because Brutus is behaving as if
something is wrong, and he will not talk to her.
O Brutus is concerned that Portia is awake so early in
her weakened state.
Portia is offended that Brutus waved her away with an
angry hand.
O Brutus is very sick, and Portia is worried that he will
die if he does not eat or sleep.
