Best Answer

On a bright day, serpents (adders) come out to warm up in the sunlight. Snakes usually hide in cracks, crevasses and under rocks. (To 'crave' something is to want it very badly and to be 'wary' means to be very careful). So, on a bright day, snakes will be coming out in the open, so you'd want to be careful where you walk.

In this case, the phrase is a double entendre. Brutus, with his reference to the bright sun bringing forth dangerous creatures, is alluding to the fact that Caesar, once crowned, may change his nature completely and become a dangerous foe. Brutus is therefore advising his co-conspirators to be careful.

This excerpt, from Sonnet 29 by William Shakespeare, reflects the speaker's realization that the memory of a loved one brings such richness and joy that it outweighs any desire for material wealth or power. The speaker finds such profound contentment and fulfillment in the remembrance of their beloved that they would not trade their state, or situation, for that of kings. Shakespeare uses this sentiment to emphasize the transformative power of love.
