Explanation:

1. "Thou hast described a hot friend cooling": This implies Cassius (the friend) is becoming less warm toward Brutus, showing conflict.
2. "When love begins to sicken and decay/It useth an enforced ceremony": Brutus uses this to explain the strained relationship (conflict) with Cassius, as love (friendship) is sickening.
3. "They fall their crests and, like deceitful jades,/Sink in the trial": Brutus compares hollow men (implying Cassius) to deceitful jades that fail in trial, showing distrust/conflict.

Answer:

• "Thou hast described a hot friend cooling"
• "When love begins to sicken and decay/It useth an enforced ceremony"
• "They fall their crests and, like deceitful jades,/Sink in the trial"
