ACT III SCENE II<\/b> Setting: The Forum.<\/p>\n

Enter BRUTUS and CASSIUS, and a throng of Citizens.<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Citizens<\/td>\nWe will be satisfied; let us be satisfied.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BRUTUS<\/td>\nThen follow me, and give me audience, friends.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCassius, go you into the other street,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd part the numbers.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nThose that will hear me speak, let 'em stay here;<\/i><\/td>\n5<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThose that will follow Cassius, go with him;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd public reasons shall be rendered<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOf Caesar's death.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Citizen<\/td>\nI will hear Brutus speak.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Citizen<\/td>\nI will hear Cassius; and compare their reasons,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhen severally we hear them rendered.<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Exit CASSIUS, with some of the Citizens. BRUTUS goes into the pulpit.<\/i><\/p>\n

Third Citizen<\/td>\nThe noble Brutus is ascended: silence!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BRUTUS<\/td>\nBe patient till the last.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nRomans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\ncause, and be silent, that you may hear: believe me<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nfor mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nyou may believe: censure me in your wisdom, and<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nawake your senses, that you may the better judge.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIf there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCaesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nwas no less than his. If then that friend demand<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nwhy Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\n––Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nRome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\ndie all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nall free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nas he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nvaliant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nslew him. There is tears for his love; joy for his<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nfortune; honour for his valour; and death for his<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nambition. Who is here so base that would be a<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nbondman? If any, speak; for him have I offended.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWho is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nany, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nvile that will not love his country? If any, speak;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nfor him have I offended. I pause for a reply.<\/td>\n33<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
All<\/td>\nNone, Brutus, none.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BRUTUS<\/td>\nThen none have I offended. I have done no more to<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCaesar than you shall do to Brutus. The question of<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nhis death is enrolled in the Capitol; his glory not<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nextenuated, wherein he was worthy, nor his offences<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nenforced, for which he suffered death.<\/td>\n39<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nEnter ANTONY and others, with CAESAR's body.<\/i><\/td>\n<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHere comes his body, mourned by Mark Antony: who,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nthough he had no hand in his death, shall receive<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nthe benefit of his dying, a place in the<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\ncommonwealth; as which of you shall not? With this<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI depart,––that, as I slew my best lover for the<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\ngood of Rome, I have the same dagger for myself,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nwhen it shall please my country to need my death.<\/td>\n46<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
All<\/td>\nLive, Brutus! live, live!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Citizen<\/td>\nBring him with triumph home unto his house.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Citizen<\/td>\nGive him a statue with his ancestors.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Citizen<\/td>\nLet him be Caesar.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fourth Citizen<\/td>\nCaesar's better parts<\/td>\n50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nShall be crown'd in Brutus.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Citizen<\/td>\nWe'll bring him to his house<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWith shouts and clamours.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BRUTUS<\/td>\nMy countrymen,––<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Citizen<\/td>\nPeace, silence! Brutus speaks.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Citizen<\/td>\nPeace, ho!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
BRUTUS<\/td>\nGood countrymen, let me depart alone,<\/td>\n55<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd, for my sake, stay here with Antony:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDo grace to Caesar's corpse, and grace his speech<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTending to Caesar's glories; which Mark Antony,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBy our permission, is allow'd to make.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI do entreat you, not a man depart,<\/td>\n60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSave I alone, till Antony have spoke.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nExit<\/i><\/td>\n<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Citizen<\/td>\nStay, ho! and let us hear Mark Antony.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Citizen<\/td>\nLet him go up into the public chair;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWe'll hear him. Noble Antony, go up.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nFor Brutus' sake, I am beholding to you.<\/td>\n65<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nGoes into the pulpit<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fourth Citizen<\/td>\nWhat does he say of Brutus?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Citizen<\/td>\nHe says, for Brutus' sake,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHe finds himself beholding to us all.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fourth Citizen<\/td>\nTwere best he speak no harm of Brutus here.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Citizen<\/td>\nThis Caesar was a tyrant.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Citizen<\/td>\nNay, that's certain:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWe are blest that Rome is rid of him.<\/td>\n70<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Citizen<\/td>\nPeace! let us hear what Antony can say.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nYou gentle Romans,––<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Citizens<\/td>\nPeace, ho! let us hear him.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nFriends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe evil that men do lives after them;<\/td>\n75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe good is oft interred with their bones;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSo let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHath told you Caesar was ambitious:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIf it were so, it was a grievous fault,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.<\/td>\n80<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHere, under leave of Brutus and the rest––<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor Brutus is an honourable man;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSo are they all, all honourable men––<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCome I to speak in Caesar's funeral.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHe was my friend, faithful and just to me:<\/td>\n85<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut Brutus says he was ambitious;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd Brutus is an honourable man.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHe hath brought many captives home to Rome<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhose ransoms did the general coffers fill:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nDid this in Caesar seem ambitious?<\/td>\n90<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhen that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAmbition should be made of sterner stuff:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYet Brutus says he was ambitious;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd Brutus is an honourable man.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYou all did see that on the Lupercal<\/td>\n95<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI thrice presented him a kingly crown,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYet Brutus says he was ambitious;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd, sure, he is an honourable man.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,<\/td>\n100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut here I am to speak what I do know.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYou all did love him once, not without cause:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhat cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nO judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd men have lost their reason. Bear with me;<\/td>\n105<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMy heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd I must pause till it come back to me.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Citizen<\/td>\nMethinks there is much reason in his sayings.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Citizen<\/td>\nIf thou consider rightly of the matter,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nCaesar has had great wrong.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Citizen<\/td>\nHas he, masters?<\/td>\n110<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI fear there will a worse come in his place.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fourth Citizen<\/td>\nMark'd ye his words? He would not take the crown;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTherefore 'tis certain he was not ambitious.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Citizen<\/td>\nIf it be found so, some will dear abide it.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Citizen<\/td>\nPoor soul! his eyes are red as fire with weeping.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Citizen<\/td>\nThere's not a nobler man in Rome than Antony.<\/td>\n116<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fourth Citizen<\/td>\nNow mark him, he begins again to speak.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nBut yesterday the word of Caesar might<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHave stood against the world; now lies he there.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd none so poor to do him reverence.<\/td>\n120<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nO masters, if I were disposed to stir<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYour hearts and minds to mutiny and rage,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI should do Brutus wrong, and Cassius wrong,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWho, you all know, are honourable men:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI will not do them wrong; I rather choose<\/td>\n125<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo wrong the dead, to wrong myself and you,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThan I will wrong such honourable men.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut here's a parchment with the seal of Caesar;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI found it in his closet, 'tis his will:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nLet but the commons hear this testament––<\/td>\n130<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich, pardon me, I do not mean to read––<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd they would go and kiss dead Caesar's wounds<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd dip their napkins in his sacred blood,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYea, beg a hair of him for memory,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd, dying, mention it within their wills,<\/td>\n135<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBequeathing it as a rich legacy<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nUnto their issue.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fourth Citizen<\/td>\nWe'll hear the will: read it, Mark Antony.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
All<\/td>\nThe will, the will! we will hear Caesar's will.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nHave patience, gentle friends, I must not read it;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIt is not meet you know how Caesar loved you.<\/td>\n141<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYou are not wood, you are not stones, but men;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd, being men, bearing the will of Caesar,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIt will inflame you, it will make you mad:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTis good you know not that you are his heirs;<\/td>\n145<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor, if you should, O, what would come of it!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fourth Citizen<\/td>\nRead the will; we'll hear it, Antony;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYou shall read us the will, Caesar's will.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nWill you be patient? will you stay awhile?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI have o'ershot myself to tell you of it:<\/td>\n150<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI fear I wrong the honourable men<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhose daggers have stabb'd Caesar; I do fear it.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fourth Citizen<\/td>\nThey were traitors: honourable men!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
All<\/td>\nThe will! the testament!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Citizen<\/td>\nThey were villains, murderers: the will! read the will.<\/td>\n155<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nYou will compel me, then, to read the will?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThen make a ring about the corpse of Caesar,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd let me show you him that made the will.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nShall I descend? and will you give me leave?<\/td>\n160<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Several Citizens<\/td>\nCome down.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Citizen<\/td>\nDescend.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Citizen<\/td>\nYou shall have leave.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nANTONY comes down.<\/i><\/td>\n<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fourth Citizen<\/td>\nA ring; stand round.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Citizen<\/td>\nStand from the hearse, stand from the body.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Citizen<\/td>\nRoom for Antony, most noble Antony.<\/td>\n166<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nNay, press not so upon me; stand far off.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Several Citizens<\/td>\nStand back; room; bear back.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nIf you have tears, prepare to shed them now.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYou all do know this mantle: I remember<\/td>\n170<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe first time ever Caesar put it on;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTwas on a summer's evening, in his tent,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat day he overcame the Nervii:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nLook, in this place ran Cassius' dagger through:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nSee what a rent the envious Casca made:<\/td>\n175<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThrough this the well–beloved Brutus stabb'd;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd as he pluck'd his cursed steel away,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nMark how the blood of Caesar follow'd it,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAs rushing out of doors, to be resolved<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIf Brutus so unkindly knock'd, or no;<\/td>\n180<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nJudge, O you gods, how dearly Caesar loved him!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThis was the most unkindest cut of all;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor when the noble Caesar saw him stab,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIngratitude, more strong than traitors' arms,<\/td>\n185<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nQuite vanquish'd him: then burst his mighty heart;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd, in his mantle muffling up his face,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nEven at the base of Pompey's statua,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhich all the while ran blood, great Caesar fell.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nO, what a fall was there, my countrymen!<\/td>\n190<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThen I, and you, and all of us fell down,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhilst bloody treason flourish'd over us.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nO, now you weep; and, I perceive, you feel<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe dint of pity: these are gracious drops.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nKind souls, what, weep you when you but behold<\/td>\n195<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOur Caesar's vesture wounded? Look you here,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHere is himself, marr'd, as you see, with traitors.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Citizen<\/td>\nO piteous spectacle!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Citizen<\/td>\nO noble Caesar!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Citizen<\/td>\nO woful day!<\/td>\n200<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fourth Citizen<\/td>\nO traitors, villains!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Citizen<\/td>\nO most bloody sight!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Citizen<\/td>\nWe will be revenged.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
All<\/td>\nRevenge! About! Seek! Burn! Fire! Kill! Slay!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nLet not a traitor live!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nStay, countrymen.<\/td>\n205<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Citizen<\/td>\nPeace there! hear the noble Antony.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Citizen<\/td>\nWe'll hear him, we'll follow him, we'll die with him.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nGood friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you up<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo such a sudden flood of mutiny.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThey that have done this deed are honourable:<\/td>\n210<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWhat private griefs they have, alas, I know not,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat made them do it: they are wise and honourable,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd will, no doubt, with reasons answer you.<\/td>\n215<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI come not, friends, to steal away your hearts:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI am no orator, as Brutus is;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nBut, as you know me all, a plain blunt man,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat love my friend; and that they know full well<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThat gave me public leave to speak of him:<\/td>\n220<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFor I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAction, nor utterance, nor the power of speech,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo stir men's blood: I only speak right on;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nI tell you that which you yourselves do know;<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nShow you sweet Caesar's wounds, poor poor dumb mouths,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd bid them speak for me: but were I Brutus,<\/td>\n226<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd Brutus Antony, there were an Antony<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWould ruffle up your spirits and put a tongue<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nIn every wound of Caesar that should move<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nThe stones of Rome to rise and mutiny.<\/td>\n230<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
All<\/td>\nWe'll mutiny.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Citizen<\/td>\nWe'll burn the house of Brutus.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Citizen<\/td>\nAway, then! come, seek the conspirators.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nYet hear me, countrymen; yet hear me speak.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
All<\/td>\nPeace, ho! Hear Antony. Most noble Antony!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nWhy, friends, you go to do you know not what:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWherein hath Caesar thus deserved your loves?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAlas, you know not: I must tell you then:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nYou have forgot the will I told you of.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
All<\/td>\nMost true. The will! Let's stay and hear the will.<\/td>\n240<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nHere is the will, and under Caesar's seal.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo every Roman citizen he gives,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo every several man, seventy–five drachmas.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Citizen<\/td>\nMost noble Caesar! We'll revenge his death.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Citizen<\/td>\nO royal Caesar!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nHear me with patience.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
All<\/td>\nPeace, ho!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nMoreover, he hath left you all his walks,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHis private arbours and new–planted orchards,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nOn this side Tiber; he hath left them you,<\/td>\n250<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd to your heirs for ever, common pleasures,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTo walk abroad, and recreate yourselves.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHere was a Caesar! when comes such another?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
First Citizen<\/td>\nNever, never. Come, away, away!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWe'll burn his body in the holy place,<\/td>\n255<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd with the brands fire the traitors' houses.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTake up the body.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Second Citizen<\/td>\nGo fetch fire.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Third Citizen<\/td>\nPluck down benches.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fourth Citizen<\/td>\nPluck down forms, windows, any thing.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nExeunt Citizens with the body.<\/i><\/td>\n<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nNow let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot,<\/td>\n261<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nTake thou what course thou wilt!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nEnter a Servant<\/i><\/td>\n<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHow now, fellow!<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Servant<\/td>\nSir, Octavius is already come to Rome.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nWhere is he?<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Servant<\/td>\nHe and Lepidus are at Caesar's house.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nAnd thither will I straight to visit him:<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHe comes upon a wish. Fortune is merry,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAnd in this mood will give us any thing.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Servant<\/td>\nI heard him say, Brutus and Cassius<\/td>\n269<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nAre rid like madmen through the gates of Rome.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
ANTONY<\/td>\nBelike they had some notice of the people,<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nHow I had moved them. Bring me to Octavius.<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/i><\/td>\nExeunt<\/i><\/td>\n<\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
