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
