Answer
|
Line 1
|
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
|
Line 2
|
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
|
Line 3
|
The evil that men do lives after them,
|
Line 4
|
The good is oft interred with their bones;
|
Line 5
|
So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
|
Line 6
|
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious.
|
Line 7
|
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
|
Line 8
|
And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
|
Line 9
|
Here, under the leave of Brutus and the rest,
|
Line 10
|
-For Brutus is an honourable man;
|
Line 11
|
So are they all, all honourable men-
|
Line 12
|
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
|
Line 13
|
He was my friend, faithful and just to me;
|
Line 14
|
But Brutus says he was ambitious,
|
Line 15
|
And Brutus is an honourable man.
|
Line 16
|
He hath brought many captives home to Rome,
|
Line 17
|
Whose ransom did the general coffers fill:
|
Line 18
|
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
|
Line 19
|
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept;
|
Line 20
|
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
|
Line 21
|
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
|
Line 22
|
And Brutus is an honourable man.
|
Line 23
|
You all did see that on the Lupercal
|
Line 24
|
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
|
Line 25
|
Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?
|
Line 26
|
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
|
Line 27
|
And sure he is an honourable man.
|
Line 28
|
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
|
Line 29
|
But here I am to speak what I do know.
|
Line 30
|
You all did love him once, not without cause;
|
Line 31
|
What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?
|
Line 32
|
O judgement, thou art fled to brutish beasts,
|
Line 33
|
And men have lost their reason. Bear with me.
|
Line 34
|
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
|
Line 35
|
And I must pause till it come back to me.
