  slew   my   best   lover   for   the   good   of   Rome;   I   have   the   same   dagger   for
  myself;   when   it   shall   please   my   country   to   need   my   death。 ALL。   Live;
  Brutus;   live;  live!   FIRST  CITIZEN。   Bring   him   with   triumph   home   unto
  his   house。   SECOND   CITIZEN。   Give   him   a   statue   with   his   ancestors。
  THIRD CITIZEN。 Let him be Caesar。 FOURTH CITIZEN。 Caesar's better
  parts Shall be crown'd in Brutus。 FIRST CITIZEN。 We'll bring him to his
  house   with   shouts   and   clamors。   BRUTUS。   My   countrymen…   SECOND
  CITIZEN。   Peace!   Silence!   Brutus   speaks。   FIRST   CITIZEN。   Peace;   ho!
  BRUTUS。 Good countrymen; let me depart alone; And; for my sake; stay
  here    with   Antony。     Do   grace   to   Caesar's   corse;   and   grace    his  speech
  Tending   to   Caesar's   glories;   which   Mark Antony;   By   our   permission;   is
  allow'd   to   make。   I   do   entreat   you;   not   a   man   depart;   Save   I   alone;   till
  Antony have spoke。 Exit。 FIRST CITIZEN。 Stay; ho; and let us hear Mark
  Antony。 THIRD CITIZEN。 Let him go up into the public chair; We'll hear
  him。 Noble Antony; go up。 ANTONY。 For Brutus' sake; I am beholding to
  you。    Goes    into  the   pulpit。  FOURTH        CITIZEN。      What    does    he  say   of
  Brutus?   THIRD   CITIZEN。   He   says;   for   Brutus'   sake;   He   finds   himself
  beholding to us all。 FOURTH CITIZEN。 'Twere best he speak no harm of
  Brutus here。 FIRST CITIZEN。 This Caesar was a tyrant。 THIRD CITIZEN。
  Nay;    that's  certain。   We    are  blest   that  Rome     is  rid  of  him。   SECOND
  CITIZEN。 Peace! Let us hear what Antony can say。 ANTONY。 You gentle
  Romans… ALL。 Peace; ho! Let us hear him。 ANTONY。 Friends; Romans;
  countrymen; lend me your ears! I come to bury Caesar; not to praise him。
  The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their
  bones;   So   let it   be   with   Caesar。 The  noble  Brutus   Hath   told   you   Caesar
  was ambitious; If it were so; it was a grievous fault; And grievously hath
  Caesar answer'd it。 Here; under leave of Brutus and the rest… For Brutus is
  an honorable man; So are they all; all honorable men… Come I to speak in
  Caesar's   funeral。   He   was   my   friend;   faithful   and   just   to   me;   But   Brutus
  says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honorable man。 He hath brought
  many captives home to Rome; Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill。
  Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried; Caesar
  37

  hath wept; Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he
  was ambitious; And Brutus is an honorable man。 You all did see that on
  the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown; Which he did thrice
  refuse。 Was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And sure he
  is an honorable man。 I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke; But here I
  am to speak what I do know。 You all did love him once; not without cause;
  What cause withholds you then to mourn for him? O judgement; thou art
  fled to brutish beasts; And men have lost their reason。 Bear with me; My
  heart is in the coffin there with Caesar; And I must pause till it come back
  to   me。   FIRST   CITIZEN。   Methinks   there   is   much   reason   in   his   sayings。
  SECOND CITIZEN。 If thou consider rightly of the matter; Caesar has had
  great wrong。 THIRD CITIZEN。 Has he; masters? I fear there will a worse
  come in his place。 FOURTH CITIZEN。 Mark'd ye his words? He would
  not   take   the   crown;   Therefore   'tis   certain   he   was   not   ambitious。   FIRST
  CITIZEN。 If it be found so; some will dear abide it。 SECOND CITIZEN。
  Poor soul; his eyes are red as fire with weeping。 THIRD CITIZEN。 There's
  not a nobler man in Rome than Antony。 FOURTH CITIZEN。 Now mark
  him;   he   begins   again   to   speak。   ANTONY。   But   yesterday   the   word   of
  Caesar might Have stood against the world。 Now lies he there; And none
  so poor to do him reverence。  O  masters!   If   I were disposed   to   stir Your
  hearts   and   minds   to   mutiny   and    rage;   I   should   do   Brutus   wrong  and
  Cassius wrong; Who; you all know; are honorable men。 I will not do them
  wrong; I rather choose To wrong the dead; to wrong myself and you; Than
  I will wrong such honorable men。 But here's a parchment with the seal of
  Caesar; I found it in his closet; 'tis his will。 Let but the commons hear this
  testament… Which; pardon me; I do not mean to read… And they would go
  and kiss dead Caesar's wounds And dip their napkins in his sacred blood;
  Yea;   beg   a   hair   of   him  for   memory; And;   dying;   mention   it   within   their
  wills; Bequeathing it as a rich legacy Unto their issue。 FOURTH CITIZEN。
  We'll hear the will。 Read it; Mark Antony。 ALL。 The will; the will! We will
  hear   Caesar's   will。 ANTONY。   Have   patience;   gentle   friends;   I   must   not
  read it; It is not meet you know how Caesar loved you。 You are not wood;
  you are not stones; but men; And; being men; hearing the will of Caesar; It
  will inflame you; it will make you mad。 'Tis good you know not that you

  THE TRAGEDY OF JULIUS CAESAR
  are   his   heirs;   For   if   you   should;   O;   what   would   come   of   it!   FOURTH
  CITIZEN。 Read the will; we'll hear it; Antony。 You shall read us the will;
  Caesar's will。 ANTONY。 Will you be patient? Will you stay awhile? I have
  o'ershot myself to tell you of it。 I fear I wrong the honorable men Whose
  daggers have stabb'd Caesar; I do fear it。 FOURTH CITIZEN。 They were
  traitors。   Honorable      men!     ALL。    The    will!   The    testament!     SECOND
  CITIZEN。        They    were    villains;  murtherers。     The    will!  Read    the   will!
  ANTONY。 You will compel me then to read the will? Then make a ring
  about the corse of Caesar; And let me show you him that made the will。
  Shall    I  descend?     And    will   you   give   me    leave?    ALL。    Come     down。
  SECOND  CITIZEN。  Descend。   He  comes   down   from  the  pulpit。 THIRD
  CITIZEN。 You shall have leave。 FOURTH CITIZEN。 A ring; stand round。
  FIRST CITIZEN。 Stand from the hearse; stand from the body。 SECOND
  CITIZEN。   Room   for Antony;   most   noble Antony。 ANTONY。   Nay;   press
  not    so  upon    me;   stand   far   off。  ALL。    Stand    back;   room;    bear   back!
  ANTONY。 If you have tears; prepare to shed them now。 You all do know
  this mantle。 I remember The first time ever Caesar put it on; 'Twas on a
  summer's evening; in his tent; That day he overcame the Nervii。 Look; in
  this place ran Cassius' dagger through; See what a rent the envious Casca
  made; Through this the well…beloved Brutus stabb'd; And as he pluck'd his
  cursed steel away; Mark how the blood of Caesar follow'd it; As rushing
  out   of   doors;   to   be   resolved   If   Brutus   so   unkindly   knock'd;   or   no;   For
  Brutus; as you know; was Caesar's angel。 Judge; O you gods; how dearly
  Caesar loved him! This was the most unkindest cut of all; For when the
  noble   Caesar   saw   him   stab;   Ingratitude;   more   strong   than   traitors'   arms;
  Quite   vanquish'd   him。   Then   burst   his   mighty   heart;  And;   in   his   mantle
  muffling up his face; Even at the base of Pompey's statue; Which all the
  while     ran   blood;    great   Caesar    fell。  O;   what    a  fall  was    there;   my
  countrymen!   Then   I;   and   you;   and   all   of   us   fell   down;   Whilst   bloody
  treason flourish'd over us。 O; now you weep; and I perceive you feel The
  dint of pity。 These are gracious drops。 Kind souls; what weep you when
  you   but   behold   Our   Caesar's   vesture   wounded?   Look   you   here;   Here   is
  himself;   marr'd;   as   you   see;   with   traitors。   FIRST   CITIZEN。   O   piteous
  spectacle!   SECOND   CITIZEN。             O   noble   Caesar!   THIRD   CITIZEN。   O

  woeful day! FOURTH CITIZEN。 O traitors villains! FIRST CITIZEN。 O
  most     bloody    sight!  SECOND        CITIZEN。      We    will  be  revenged。     ALL。
  Revenge!   About!   Seek!   Burn!   Fire!   Kill!   Slay!   Let   not   a   traitor   live!
  ANTONY。   Stay;   countrymen。           FIRST   CITIZEN。   Peace        there!   Hear   the
  noble Antony。 SECOND CITIZEN。 We'll hear him; we'll follow him; we'll
  die with him。 ANTONY。 Good friends; sweet friends; let me not stir you
  up To such a sudden flood of mutiny。 They that have done this deed are
  honorable。   What   private   griefs   they   have;   alas;   I   know   not;   That   made
  them do it。 They are wise and honora
