bondman? If any; speak; for him have I 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。 ALL。 None; Brutus; none。 BRUTUS。 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。 

       Enter Antony and others; with Caesar's body。 

       Here comes his body; mourned by Mark Antony; who; though he had

no hand in his death; shall receive the benefit of his dying; a place in the 

commonwealth; as   which   of you shall   not? With   this   I depart…  that;  as   I 

slew   my   best   lover   for   the   good   of   Rome;   I   have   the   same   dagger   for 

myself;   when   it   shall   please   my   country   to   need   my   death。 ALL。   Live; 

Brutus;   live;  live!   FIRST  CITIZEN。   Bring   him   with   triumph   home   unto 

his   house。   SECOND   CITIZEN。   Give   him   a   statue   with   his   ancestors。 

THIRD CITIZEN。 Let him be Caesar。 FOURTH CITIZEN。 Caesar's better 

parts Shall be crown'd in Brutus。 FIRST CITIZEN。 We'll bring him to his 

house   with   shouts   and   clamors。   BRUTUS。   My   countrymen…   SECOND 

CITIZEN。   Peace!   Silence!   Brutus   speaks。   FIRST   CITIZEN。   Peace;   ho! 

BRUTUS。 Good countrymen; let me depart alone; And; for my sake; stay 

here    with   Antony。     Do   grace   to   Caesar's   corse;   and   grace    his  speech 

Tending   to   Caesar's   glories;   which   Mark Antony;   By   our   permission;   is 

allow'd   to   make。   I   do   entreat   you;   not   a   man   depart;   Save   I   alone;   till 

Antony have spoke。 Exit。 FIRST CITIZEN。 Stay; ho; and let us hear Mark 

Antony。 THIRD CITIZEN。 Let him go up into the public chair; We'll hear 

him。 Noble Antony; go up。 ANTONY。 For Brutus' sake; I am beholding to 

you。    Goes    into  the   pulpit。  FOURTH        CITIZEN。      What    does    he  say   of 

Brutus?   THIRD   CITIZEN。   He   says;   for   Brutus'   sake;   He   finds   himself 

beholding to us all。 FOURTH CITIZEN。 'Twere best he speak no harm of 

Brutus here。 FIRST CITIZEN。 This Caesar was a tyrant。 THIRD CITIZEN。 

Nay;    that's  certain。   We    are  blest   that  Rome     is  rid  of  him。   SECOND 

CITIZEN。 Peace! Let us hear what Antony can say。 ANTONY。 You gentle 

Romans… ALL。 Peace; ho! Let us hear him。 ANTONY。 Friends; Romans; 

countrymen; lend me your ears! I come to bury Caesar; not to praise him。 

The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their 

bones;   So   let it   be   with   Caesar。 The  noble  Brutus   Hath   told   you   Caesar 

was ambitious; If it were so; it was a grievous fault; And grievously hath 

Caesar answer'd it。 Here; under leave of Brutus and the rest… For Brutus is 

an honorable man; So are they all; all honorable men… Come I to speak in 

Caesar's   funeral。   He   was   my   friend;   faithful   and   just   to   me;   But   Brutus 

says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honorable man。 He hath brought 

many captives home to Rome; Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill。 

Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried; Caesar

hath wept; Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he 

was ambitious; And Brutus is an honorable man。 You all did see that on 

the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown; Which he did thrice 

refuse。 Was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And sure he 

is an honorable man。 I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke; But here I 

am to speak what I do know。 You all did love him once; not without cause; 

What cause withholds you then to mourn for him? O judgement; thou art 

fled to brutish beasts; And men have lost their reason。 Bear with me; My 

heart is in the coffin there with Caesar; And I must pause till it come back 

to   me。   FIRST   CITIZEN。   Methinks   there   is   much   reason   in   his   sayings。 

SECOND CITIZEN。 If thou consider rightly of the matter; Caesar has had 

great wrong。 THIRD CITIZEN。 Has he; masters? I fear there will a worse 

come in his place。 FOURTH CITIZEN。 Mark'd ye his words? He would 

not   take   the   crown;   Therefore   'tis   certain   he   was   not   ambitious。   FIRST 

CITIZEN。 If it be found so; some will dear abide it。 SECOND CITIZEN。 

Poor soul; his eyes are red as fire with weeping。 THIRD CITIZEN。 There's 

not a nobler man in Rome than Antony。 FOURTH CITIZEN。 Now mark 

him;   he   begins   again   to   speak。   ANTONY。   But   yesterday   the   word   of 

Caesar might Have stood against the world。 Now lies he there; And none 

so poor to do him reverence。  O  masters!   If   I were disposed   to   stir Your 

hearts   and   minds   to   mutiny   and    rage;   I   should   do   Brutus   wrong  and 

Cassius wrong; Who; you all know; are honorable men。 I will not do them 

wrong; I rather choose To wrong the dead; to wrong myself and you; Than 

I will wrong such honorable men。 But here's a parchment with the seal of 

Caesar; I found it in his closet; 'tis his will。 Let but the commons hear this 

testament… Which; pardon me; I do not mean to read… And they would go 

and kiss dead Caesar's wounds And dip their napkins in his sacred blood; 

Yea;   beg   a   hair   of   him  for   memory; And;   dying;   mention   it   within   their 

wills; Bequeathing it as a rich legacy Unto their issue。 FOURTH CITIZEN。 

We'll hear the will。 Read it; Mark Antony。 ALL。 The will; the will! We will 

hear   Caesar's   will。 ANTONY。   Have   patience;   gentle   friends;   I   must   not 

read it; It is not meet you know how Caesar loved you。 You are not wood; 

you are not stones; but men; And; being men; hearing the will of Caesar; It 

will inflame you; it will make you mad。 'Tis good you know not that you 



                                            38

are   his   heirs;   For   if   you   should;   O;   what   would   come   of   it!   FOURTH 

CITIZEN。 Read the will; we'll hear it; Antony。 You shall read us the will; 

Caesar's will。 ANTONY。 Will you be patient? Will you stay awhile? I have 

o'ershot myself to tell you of it。 I fear I wrong the honorable men Whose 

daggers have stabb'd Caesar; I do fear it。 FOURTH CITIZEN。 They were 

traitors。   Honorable      men!     ALL。    The    will!   The    testament!     SECOND 

CITIZEN。        They    were    villains;  murtherers。     The    will!  Read    the   will! 

ANTONY。 You will compel me then to read the will? Then make a ring 

about the corse of Caesar; And let me show you him that made the will。 

Shall    I  descend?     And    will   you   give   me    leave?    ALL。    Come     down。 

SECOND  CITIZEN。  Descend。   He  comes   down   from  the  pulpit。 THIRD 

CITIZEN。 You shall have leave。 FOURTH CITIZEN。 A ring; stand round。 

FIRST CITIZEN。 Stand from the hearse; stand from the body。 SECOND 

CITIZEN。   Room   for Antony;   most   noble Antony。 ANTONY。   Nay;   press 

not    so  upon    me;   stand   far   off。  ALL。    Stand    back;   room;    bear   back! 

ANTONY。 If you have tears; prepare to shed them now。 You all do know 

this mantle。 I remember The first time ever Caesar put it on; 'Twas on a 

summer's evening; in his tent; That day he overcame the Nervii。 Look; in 

this place ran Cassius' dagger through; See what a rent the envious Casca 

made; Through this the well…beloved Brutus stabb'd; And as he pluck'd his 

cursed steel away; Mark
