  honorable。   What   private   griefs   they   have;   alas;   I   know   not;   That   made
  them do it。 They are wise and honorable; And will; no doubt; with reasons
  answer you。 I come not; friends; to steal away your hearts。 I am no orator;
  as Brutus is; But; as you know me all; a plain blunt man; That love my
  friend; and that they know full well That gave me public leave to speak of
  him。 For I have neither wit; nor words; nor worth; Action; nor utterance;
  nor the power of speech; To stir men's blood。 I only speak right on; I tell
  you that which you yourselves do know; Show you sweet Caesar's wounds;
  poor dumb mouths; And bid them speak for me。 But were I Brutus; And
  Brutus Antony; there were an Antony Would ruffle up your spirits and put
  a tongue In every wound of Caesar that should move The stones of Rome
  to   rise   and   mutiny。 ALL。 We'll   mutiny。  FIRST  CITIZEN。  We'll   burn   the
  house     of   Brutus。    THIRD      CITIZEN。       Away;     then!   Come;     seek    the
  conspirators。   ANTONY。   Yet   hear   me;   countrymen;   yet   hear   me   speak。
  ALL。     Peace;    ho!  Hear    Antony;    most   noble    Antony!    ANTONY。        Why;
  friends;   you    go  to  do   you   know   not   what。   Wherein   hath   Caesar   thus
  deserved your loves? Alas; you know not; I must tell you then。 You have
  forgot the will I told you of。 ALL。 Most true; the will! Let's stay and hear
  the   will。 ANTONY。   Here   is   the   will;   and   under   Caesar's   seal。   To   every
  Roman   citizen   he   gives;   To   every   several   man;   seventy…five   drachmas。
  SECOND CITIZEN。 Most noble Caesar! We'll revenge his death。 THIRD
  CITIZEN。 O royal Caesar! ANTONY。 Hear me with patience。 ALL。 Peace;
  ho! ANTONY。 Moreover; he hath left you all his walks; His private arbors;
  and new…planted orchards; On this side Tiber; he hath left them you; And
  to   your   heirs   forever…   common   pleasures;   To   walk   abroad   and   recreate
  yourselves。     Here    was    a  Caesar!    When     comes     such   another?    FIRST
  CITIZEN。   Never;   never。   Come;   away;   away!   We'll   burn   his   body   in   the

  holy place And with the brands fire the traitors' houses。 Take up the body。
  SECOND         CITIZEN。      Go   fetch   fire。  THIRD     CITIZEN。      Pluck    down
  benches。     FOURTH       CITIZEN。     Pluck   down    forms;   windows;     anything。
  Exeunt Citizens with the body。 ANTONY。 Now let it work。 Mischief; thou
  art afoot; Take thou what course thou wilt。
  Enter a Servant。
  How now; fellow? SERVANT。 Sir; Octavius is already come to Rome。
  ANTONY。 Where is he? SERVANT。 He and Lepidus are at Caesar's house。
  ANTONY。 And thither will I straight to visit him。 He comes upon a wish。
  Fortune   is   merry; And   in   this   mood   will   give   us   anything。   SERVANT。   I
  heard him say Brutus and Cassius Are rid like madmen through the gates
  of Rome。 ANTONY。 Be like they had some notice of the people; How I
  had moved them。 Bring me to Octavius。 Exeunt。

  THE TRAGEDY OF JULIUS CAESAR
  SCENE III。 A street。
  Enter Cinna the poet。
  CINNA。   I   dreamt   tonight   that   I   did   feast   with   Caesar;   And   things
  unluckily charge my fantasy。 I have no will to wander forth of doors; Yet
  something leads me forth。
  Enter Citizens。
  FIRST CITIZEN。 What is your name? SECOND CITIZEN。 Whither
  are   you   going?    THIRD     CITIZEN。      Where    do   you   dwell?    FOURTH
  CITIZEN。  Are   you   a   married   man   or   a   bachelor?   SECOND   CITIZEN。
  Answer every  man directly。  FIRST CITIZEN。 Ay; and   briefly。  FOURTH
  CITIZEN。 Ay; and wisely。 THIRD CITIZEN。 Ay; and truly; you were best。
  CINNA。 What is my name? Whither am I going? Where do I dwell? Am I
  a   married   man   or   a   bachelor?   Then;   to   answer   every   man   directly   and
  briefly;   wisely   and   truly:  wisely   I  say;  I  am   a  bachelor。   SECOND
  CITIZEN。 That's as much as to say they are fools that marry。 You'll bear
  me a bang for that; I fear。 Proceed directly。 CINNA。 Directly; I am going
  to Caesar's funeral。 FIRST CITIZEN。 As a friend or an enemy? CINNA。
  As    a  friend。  SECOND        CITIZEN。     That   matter   is  answered     directly。
  FOURTH CITIZEN。 For your dwelling; briefly。 CINNA。 Briefly; I dwell
  by   the   Capitol。   THIRD   CITIZEN。 Your   name;   sir;   truly。   CINNA。   Truly;
  my name is Cinna。 FIRST CITIZEN。 Tear him to pieces; he's a conspirator。
  CINNA。 I am Cinna the poet; I am Cinna the poet。 FOURTH CITIZEN。
  Tear him for his bad verses; tear him for his bad verses。 CINNA。 I am not
  Cinna   the   conspirator。   FOURTH   CITIZEN。   It   is   no   matter;   his   name's
  Cinna。 Pluck but his name out of his heart; and turn him going。 THIRD
  CITIZEN。 Tear him; tear him! Come; brands; ho; firebrands。 To Brutus'; to
  Cassius'; burn all。 Some to Decius' house; and some to Casca's; some to
  Ligarius'。 Away; go! Exeunt。

  THE TRAGEDY OF JULIUS CAESAR
  SCENE I。 A house in Rome。
  Antony; Octavius; and Lepidus; seated at a table。
  ANTONY。        These    many     then   shall   die;  their   names     are  prick'd。
  OCTAVIUS。 Your brother too must die; consent you; Lepidus? LEPIDUS。
  I   do   consent…   OCTAVIUS。   Prick   him   down;   Antony。   LEPIDUS。   Upon
  condition   Publius   shall   not   live; Who   is   your   sister's   son;   Mark Antony。
  ANTONY。 He shall not live; look; with a spot I damn him。 But; Lepidus;
  go   you   to   Caesar's   house;   Fetch   the   will   hither;   and   we   shall   determine
  How to cut off some charge in legacies。 LEPIDUS。 What; shall I find you
  here?   OCTAVIUS。   Or   here;   or   at   the   Capitol。   Exit   Lepidus。   ANTONY。
  This is a slight unmeritable man; Meet to be sent on errands。 Is it fit; The
  three…fold   world   divided;   he   should   stand   One   of   the   three   to   share   it?
  OCTAVIUS。   So   you   thought   him;   And   took   his   voice   who   should   be
  prick'd to die In our black sentence and proscription。 ANTONY。 Octavius;
  I have seen more days than you; And though we lay these honors on this
  man To ease ourselves of divers slanderous loads; He shall but bear them
  as the ass bears gold; To groan and sweat under the business; Either led or
  driven; as we point the way; And having brought our treasure where we
  will; Then take we down his load and turn him off; Like to the empty ass;
  to shake his ears And graze in commons。 OCTAVIUS。 You may do your
  will;   But   he's  a  tried   and   valiant   soldier。  ANTONY。        So   is  my   horse;
  Octavius; and for that I do appoint him store of provender。 It is a creature
  that   I   teach   to   fight;   To   wind;   to   stop;   to   run   directly   on;   His   corporal
  motion govern'd by my spirit。 And; in some taste; is Lepidus but so: He
  must be taught; and train'd; and bid go forth; A barren…spirited fellow; one
  that feeds On objects; arts; and imitations; Which; out of use and staled by
  other men; Begin his fashion。 Do not talk of him But as a property。 And
  now; Octavius; Listen great things。 Brutus and Cassius Are levying powers;
  we must straight make head; Therefore let our alliance be combined; Our
  best   friends   made;   our   means   stretch'd;   And   let   us   presently   go   sit   in
  council; How covert matters may be best disclosed; And open perils surest
  answered。   OCTAVIUS。   Let   us   do so;   for   we   are   at   the   stake; And   bay'd
  about with many enemies; And some that smile have in their hearts; I fear
