:"To think that Caesar bears such rebel blood
That will be thawed from the true quality
With that which melteth fools--I mean sweet
words,"
|
|
Caesar, to conspirators
|
| |
"I could be well moved; if I were as you.
If I could pray to move, prayers would move me.
But I am constant as the Northern Star,"
|
|
Caesar, to conspirators
|
| |
"Et tu, Brute?"
|
|
Caesar, to Brutus
|
| |
"Men, wives, and children, stare, cry out, and run
As it were doomsday,"
|
|
Trebonius, to conspirators
|
| |
"Why he that cuts off twenty years of life
Cuts off so many years of fearing deaeth"
|
|
Casca, to conspirators
|
| |
"Romans, stoop,
And let us bathe our hands in Caesar's blood
Up to the elbows and besmear our swords"
|
|
Brutus, to conspirators
|
| |
"How many ages hence
Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
In {states} unborn and accents yet unknown"
|
|
Cassius, to conspirators
|
| |
"Brutus is noble, wise, valiant, and honest;
Caesar was mighty, bold, royal, and loving.
Say, I love Brutus, and I honor him;"
|
|
Antony's servant, to conspirators
|
| |
"Mark Antony shall not love Caesar dead
So well as Brutus living, but will follow
The fortunes and affairs of noble Brutus"
|
|
Antony's servant, to Brutus
|
| |
"I do beseech you, if you bear me hard
Now, whilst your purpled hands do reek and smoke,
Fulfill your pleasure. Live a thousand years,
I shall not find myself so apt to die;"
|
|
Antony, to Brutus
|
| |
"Shaking the bloody fingers of thy foes--
Most noble!--in the presence of thy corpse?"
|
|
Antony, to himself
|
| |
"You know not what you do. Do
not consent
That Antony speak in his funeral.
Know you how much the people may be moved
By that which he will utter?"
|
|
Cassius, to Brutus
|
| |
"O pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth,
That I am meek and gently with these butchers"
|
|
Antony, to himself (next to Caesar's corpse)
|
| |
"Domestic fury and fierce civil strife
Shall cumber all the parts of Italy;"
|
|
Antony, to himself
|
| |
"I say that Brutus' love
to Caesar was no less that his...
no that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living, and
die all slaves, that that Caesar were dead, to live all
freemen?"
|
|
Brutus, to crowd
|
| |
"I have the same dagger for myself
when it shall please my country to need my death"
|
|
Brutus, to crowd
|
| |
"The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones.
So let it be Caesar"
|
|
Antony , to crowd
|
| |
"O masters, if I were disposed to stir
Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage,
I should do Brutus wrong and Cassius wrong"
|
|
Antony, to crowd
|
| |
"Even at the base of Pompey's statue
(Which all the while ran blood) great Caesar fell"
|
|
Antony, to crowd
|
| |
"he hath left you all his walks
His private arbors, and new-planted orchards,
On this 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?"
|
|
Antony, to crowd
|
