Brutus is going to speak

Hear me for my cause...

and be silent...Brutus speaks

Romans

Countrymen, be patient til alas, hear me for my cause

and be silent that you may hear,

Believe me for thine honour, and have respect to mine honour that you may believe

censure me in your wisdom,

and awake your senses, that you may the better judge

Caesar!! Caesar!!

If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar's...

to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar was no less than his

if then that friend demand

why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer...

not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more.

had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead

to live all free men? NO!!

As Caesar loved me, I weep for him;

As he was fortunate, I rejoice in it;

as he was valiant, I honour him: but as he was ambitious, I slew him.

as tears for his love; joy for his fortune

and honour for his valour...and death for his ambition

who is here so base that would be a bondman?

If any, speak; for him I have offended

Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman?

If any speak, for him have I offended

Who is here so vile that will not love his country?

If any, speak; for him have I offended... I pause for a reply

None, Brutus, none!

Then none have I offended.

I have done no more to Caesar than you shall do to Brutus

the question of his death is enrolled in the capitol

his glory not extenuated wherein he was worthy

nor his offenses enforced for which he suffered death.

(woman screams)

Here comes his body,

mourned by Mark Antony,

who, though he had no hand in his death- shall receive the benefit in his dying.

a place in the Commonwealth--as which of you shall not?

With this I depart:

that as I slew Caesar for the good of Rome,

I have the same dagger for myself

when it shall please my country to need my death.

Live Brutus, live! (crowd cheering)

Bring him with triumph, home unto his house!

Give him a statue with his ancestors!

Let him be Caesar!

Caesar's better parts

Shall be crowned in Brutus!

Good countrymen, silence, Brutus speaks

good countrymen let me depart alone. And for my sake

stay here with Antony...do grace to Caesar's corpse

and grace his speech tending to Caesar's glories,

which Mark Antony by our permission is allowed to make

I do entreat you, not a man depart, Save I alone, til Antony have spoke.

(crowd murmurs)
