julius caesar by william shakespeare introduced by richard ayer julius caesar is sometimes called a history sometimes a tragedy it has elements of both intense extreme even unique in its peculiar world julius caesar is in the end hugely moving because of its bareness the play could be called a study in the political perhaps the finest work of our ever confined to power politics shakespeare has created and defined his subject by deliberately denuding power and rule of those metaphysical sanctions intrinsic to the english renaissance concept of kingship he's concerned here with a critical moment in roman history in itself material to such questions caesar is offered an imperial crown not once but three times by the roman people at this watershed of history a group of republican conspirators all different in character and motive and some of them caesar's friends determine that he must die the ghost of caesar and his influence is less easy to destroy julius caesar is a play without a hero or without a heroine caesar's glamorous name gives the work its title but the man himself is not the great soldier and statesman of history but someone weaker more willful more elusive more human the honorable brutus the most sympathetic of the conspirators is unwise he's almost a fool cassius is a troublemaker anthony is a diplomat shakespeare brings to life a world at once familiar and strange where argument is both clear and irrational male friendship is deep and it's betrayed wives are valued and they're ignored coldly idealistic full of ghosts and of echoes rome is a great empty marble city with a fountain of blood at its center present william shakespeare's julius caesar rome 1924 a wave of fascism is sweeping europe julius caesar an italian self-style dictator with the armed assistance of the paramilitary squadristi overcomes a liberal alliance and declares himself il ducey to the true republicans of rome this is an intolerable affront a group of conspirators plan his removal we present julius caesar [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and so you idle creatures get you home is this a holiday what no you not being mechanical you won't not walk up on a labouring day without the sign of your profession speak what trade art thou why sir a carpenter where is thy leather apron and i rue what does thou without best apparel on her you saw what trade are you i truly say in respect of a farm workman i am butchered with a safe conscience which is indeed certain men there are bad songs what trade thou thou naughty naive what trade yeah she said they're not that with me yet if you be out sir i commend you what means now by that hmm men me now saucy fellow a medal with no tradesmen's matters no women's matters but with all i am indeed said a surge into old shoes when they are in great danger i recover them this proper man is every drug upon each leather are gone upon my underwear but wherefore art not in thy shop today oh i just thought lead these men about the streets i only said to wear out the shoes to get myself into more work but indeed we make holiday to see caesar and rejoice in his triumph wherefore rejoice what conquest brings he home what tributaries follow him to rome to grace in captive bonds his chariot wheels new blocks new stones you worse than senseless things oh you hard hearts you cruel men of rome knew many a time and oft have you climbed up to walls and battlements to towers and windows yay to chimney tops your infants in your arms and there have sat the live long day with patient expectation to see great pompeii past the streets of rome and when you saw his chariot but appear have you not made an universal shout the tiber trembled underneath her banks to hear the replication of your sounds made in her concave shores until you now put on your best attire and do you now call out a holiday and do you now strew flowers in his way that comes in triumph over pompeii's blood run to your houses fall upon your knees pray to the gods to intermit the plague that needs must light on this in gratitude go go good countrymen and for this fault assemble all the poor men of your sort draw them to tiber banks and weep your tears into the channel till the lowest stream to kiss the most exalted shores of all where their basest metal be not moved they vanish tongue-tied in their guiltiness go you down that way towards the capital this way will i disrobe the images if you do find them decked with ceremonies may we do so you know it is the feast of lupercal it is no matter let no images be hung with caesar's trophies i'll about and driveway the vulgar from the streets so do you two where you perceive them thick these growing feathers plucked from caesar's wing will make him fly an ordinary pitch who else would soar over the view of men and keep us all in servile fearfulness stand you directly in antonio's way when he does around his course antonius season my lord forget not in your speed antonius to touch calpernia for our elders say the baron touch it in this holy chase shake off their sterile curse i shall remember when caesar says do this it is before set on and leave no ceremony out who calls did every noise be still peace yet again who is it in the press that calls on me i hear a tongue shriller than all the music cries caesar speak caesar is turned to here set him before me let me see his face fellow come from the throng march he is a dream let us leave him pass brutus will you go see the order of the course not i i pray you do i am not gameson i do like some part of that quick spirit that is in anthony let me not hinder cassius your desires i'll leave you brutus i do observe you now late i have not from your eyes that uh gentleness and show of love as i always want to have you bet you stubborn into stranger hand over your friend that loves you cassius be not deceived if i have veiled my look i turn the trouble of my countenance merely upon myself vex said i am of late with passions of some difference conception's only proper to myself which gives on soil perhaps to my behaviors but let not therefore my good friends be grieved among which number cassius be you won nor construe any further my neglect than that poor brutus with himself at war forgets the shows of love to other men then brutus i have much mistook your passion by means whereof this breast of mine has buried thoughts of great value worthy cogitations tell me good brutus can you see your face no cassius for the eye sees not itself but by reflection by some other things it is just and it is very much lamented brutus that you have no such mirrors as will turn your hidden worthiness into your eye that you might see your shadow i have heard where many of the best respect in rome except immortal caesar speaking of brutus and groaning underneath this age's yoke have wished that noble brutus had his eyes into what dangers would you lead me cassius that you would have me seeking to myself for that which is not in me therefore good brutus be prepared to hear and since you know you cannot see yourself so well as by reflection i your class will modestly discover to yourself that of yourself which you yet know not off and be not jealous on me gentle brutus were i a common laugh or did you stale with ordinary oaths my love to every new protester if you know that i do four non-men and hug them hard enough to scandal them or if you know that i profess myself in banqueting to all the route then hold me dangerous what means the shouting i do fear the people choose caesar for their king do you fear it then must i think you will not have it sir i would not cassius yet i love him well but wherefore do you hold me here so long what is it you would impart to me if it be ought toward the general good said honor in one eye and death is the other and i will look on both indifferently for let the gods so speed me as i love the name of honor more than i fear death i know that virtue to be in you brutus as well as i do know your outward favor well honor is the subject of my story i cannot tell what you and other men think of this life but for my single self i had asleep not be as live to be in or of such a thing as i myself i was born free as caesar so are you we both have fed as well and we can both endure the winter's cold as well as he for once upon a raw and gusty day the troubled tiber chafing with her shores caesar said to me dearest thou cassius now leap in with me into this angry flood and swim to yonder point upon the word accoutred as i was i plunged in and made him follow so indeed he did the torrent roared and we did buffett it with lusty sinews throwing it aside and stemming it with hearts of controversy but air we could arrive the point proposed caesar cried help me cassius or i sink i as in as our great ancestor did from the flames of troy upon his shoulder the old anchovies bear so from the waves of tiber did i the tired caesar and this man is now become a god and cassius is a wretched creature and must bend his body if caesar carelessly but not on him he had a fever when he was in spain and when the fit was on him i didn't mark how he did shake this true this god did shake his coward lipstick from their color fly and that same eye who's bend the thor the world did lose his luster i did hear him groan i and that tongue of his that bad the romans mark him and write his speeches in their books elastic cried give me some drink to tinius as a sick girl you gods it does amaze me a man of such a feeble temper should so get the start of the majestic world and bear the palm alone another general shout i do believe that these applauses are for some new honors that are heaped in season like a colossus and we petty men walk under his huge legs and peep about to find ourselves dishonorable graves men at some time are masters of their fates the fault dear brutus is not in our stars but in ourselves brutus and caesar what should be in that caesar why should that name be sounded more than yours write them together yours is his fairer name sound them it doth become the mouth as well weigh them it is as heavy conjure with them brutus will start a spirit as soon as caesar now in the names of all the gods at once upon what meat doth this our caesar feed that he has grown so great age thou art shamed rome thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods when went there by an age since the great flood but it was famed with more than with one man when could they say till now that talked of rome that her white walls encompassed but one man now is it rome indeed and room enough when there is in it but one only man oh you and i have heard our fathers say there was a brutus once that would have broke the eternal devil to keep his state in rome as easily as a king but you do love me i am nothing jealous what you would work me to i have some aim how i have thought of this and of these times i shall recount hereafter for this present i would not so with love i might entreat you be any further moved what you have said i will consider what you have to say i will with patience here and find a time both meet to hear and answer such high things till then my noble friend chew upon this brutus rather be a villager than to repute himself as son of rome under these hard conditions as this time is like to lay upon us i am glad my weak words have struck but thus must show a fire from brutus the games are done and caesar is returning as they pass by pluck casket by the sleeve and he will after his sour fashion tell you what hath preceded worthy note today i will do so but look here cassius the angry spot doth glow on caesar's brow and all the rest look like a chicken train calpurnia's cheek is pale and cicero looks with such ferret and such fiery eyes as we have seen him in the capital being crossed in conference by some senator casker will tell us what the matter is antonius caesar let me have men about me that are fat sleek headed men and such as sleeper knights yond cassius has a lean and hungry look he thinks too much such men are dangerous fear him not caesar he's not dangerous he is a noble roman and well-given would he were fatter but i fear him not yet if my name were liable to fear i do not know the man i should avoid so soon as that spare cassius he reads much he is a great observer and he looks quite through the deeds of men he loves no plays as thou dost antony he hears no music seldom he smiles and smiles on such a sword as if he mocked himself and scorned his spirit that could be moved to smile at anything such men as he be never at heart's ease whilst they behold a greater than themselves and therefore are they very dangerous i rather tell you what is to be fear than what i fear for always i am caesar come on my right hand for this year is death and tell me truly what that thinks stuff him casker you pulled me by the cloak would you speak with me aye casket tell us what hath chanced today that caesar looks so sad you were with him were you not i should not then ask casker what a chance why there was a crown offered him and being offered him he put it by with the back of his hand thus and then the people fell shouting what was the second noise for why for that too they shouted thrice what the last cry for why for that what's the crown and he put it by thrice every time gentler than other and at every putting by my honest neighbors shouted go off it in the crown why anthony tell us the manner of it gentle cask i can as well be hanged as tell the manor of it it was mere foolery i did not mark it i saw mark anthony offer him a crown yet was not a crown neither it was one of these coronets and as i told you he put it by once but for all that to my thinking he would feign have had it then he offered it to him again then he put it by again but to my thinking he was very loath to lay his fingers off it and then he offered it the third time he put it the third time by and still as he refused it the rabblement hooted and clapped their chopped hands and threw up their sweaty nightcaps and uttered such a deal of stinking breath because caesar refused the crown that it had almost choked caesar for he swooned and fell down at it and for my own part i does not laugh for fear of opening my lips and receiving the bad air that's soft i'd pray what did caesar swoon he fell down in the marketplace and phoned at mouth and was speechless it's very like he had the falling sickness no caesar has it not but you and i and honest casker we have the falling sickness i know not what you mean by that but i am sure caesar fell down if the tag rag people did not clap him and hiss him according as he pleased and displeased them as they used to do the plays in the theater i am no true man what said he when he came unto himself mary before he fell down when he perceived the common herd was glad he refused the crown he plucked me up his doublet and offered them his throat to cut and i had been a man of any occupation if i would not have taken him at a word i would i might go to hell among the rogues and so he fell when he came to himself again he said if he had done or said anything amiss he desired their worships to think it was his infirmity three or four wenches where i stood cried alas good soul and forgave him with all their hearts but there's no heed to be taken of them if caesar had stabbed their mothers they would have done no less and after that he came thus sad away i did cicero say anything i he spoke greek to what effect nay and i tell you that i'll never look you in the face again but those that understood him smiled at one another and shook their heads but for my known part it was greek to me i could tell you more news too maroulis and flavius for pulling scarves off caesar's images are put to silence very well there was more foolery yet if i could remember it would you sup with me tonight casket no i'm promised fourth will you dine with me tomorrow aye if i be alive and your mind hold and your dinner worth eating good i will expect you do so farewell both what a blunt fellow is this grown to be he was quick metal when he went to school so is he now an execution of any bold or noble enterprise however he puts on this tardy form this rudeness is a source to his good wit which gives men's stomach to digest his words with better appetite and so it is for this time i will leave you tomorrow if you please to speak with me i will come home to you or if you will come home to me and i will wait for you i will do so until then think of the world well brutus though aren't noble yet i see thy honorable metal may be wrought from that it is disposed therefore it is made that noble minds keep ever with their likes for who so firm that cannot be seduced caesar doth bear me hard but he loves brutus if i were brutus now and he were curses he should not humor me i will this night in several hands in at his windows throw as if they came from several citizen writings all tending to the great opinion that rome holds of his name wherein obscurity caesar's ambition shall be glanced at and after this let caesar seat him sure for we will shake him or worse days endure good evening casker what you see is a home why are you breathless and where i stare you sir are not you moved when all the sway of earth shakes like a thing unfirm oh cicero i have seen tempests when the scolding winds have rived the knotty oaks and i have seen the ambitious ocean swell and rage and foam to be exalted with the threatening clouds but never till tonight never till now did i go through a tempest dropping fire either there is a civil strife in heaven or else the world too saucy with the gods and senses them to send destruction why saw you anything more wonderful a common slave you know him well by sight held up his left hand which did flame and burn like 20 torches joined and yet his hand not sensible of fire remained unscorched besides i had not since put up my sword against the capital i met a lion who glazed upon me and went surly by without annoying me and they were drawn upon a heap a hundred ghastly women transformed with their fear who swore they saw men all in fire walk up and down the streets and yesterday the bird of night did sit even at noonday upon the marketplace hooting and shrieking when these prodigies do so can jointly meet let not men say these are their reasons they are natural for i believe they are portentous things until the climate that they point upon indeed it is a strange disposed time but men may construe things after their fashion clean from the purpose of the things themselves comes caesar the capital tomorrow he does for he to bid antonius send word to you he would be there tomorrow good night then casker this disturbing sky is not to walk in farewell cicero who's there a roman casket by your voice your ear is good cassius what night is this a very pleasing night to honest men who ever knew the heavens menace so those that have known the earth so full of faults for my part i have walked about the streets submitting me unto the perilous night and thus embrace it casca as you see have beared my bosom to the thunderstorm and when the cross blue lightning seemed to open the breast of heaven i'd represent myself even in the aim and very flesh of it but wherefore did you so much tempt the heavens it is the part of men to fear and tremble when the most mighty gods by tokens send such dreadful heralds to astonish her you are dull casket and those sparks of life that should be in a roman you do want or else you use not you look pale and gays and put on fear and cast yourself in wonder to see the strange impatience of the heavens but if you would consider the true cause why all these fires while these gliding ghosts why birds and beasts from quality and kind why old men fool and children calculate why all these things change from their ordinance their natures and pre-format faculties to monstrous quality why you shall find that heaven hath infused them with these spirits to make them instruments of fear and warning unto some monstrous state and now could i cast a name to thee a man most like this dreadful night that thunders lightens opens graves and roars earth off the line in the capital a man no mighty than thyself or me in personal action yet prodigious grown and fearful as these strange eruptions are tis caesar that you mean is it not cassius let it be who it is for romans now have fuse and limbs like to their ancestors ah but woe the while our father's minds are dead and we are governed with our mother's spirits our yoke and sufferance show us womanish indeed they say the senators tomorrow mean to establish caesar as a king and he shall wear his crown by sea and land in every place save here in italy i know where i will wear this dagger then cassius from bondage will deliver cassius they're any gods you make the weak most strong therein ye gods you tyrants do defeat no stony tower no walls of beaten brass nor airless dungeon nor strong links of iron can be retentive to the strength of spirit but life being weary of these worldly bars never lacks power to dismiss itself if i know this know all the world besides a part of tyranny that i do bear i can shake off at pleasure so can i so every bondman in his own hand bears the power to cancel his captivity and why should caesar be a tyrant then poor man i know he would not be a wolf but then he sees the romans albert sheep he were no lion were not romans heinz those that with haste will make a mighty fire begin it with weak straws or trash is room what rubbish and what awful when it serves for the base matter to illuminate so vile a thing as caesar but grief where hast thou let me i perhaps speak this before a willing bondman then i know my answer must be made but i am armed and dangerous are to me indifferent you speak to casker and to such a man that is no flearing telltale hold my hand be factious for redress of all these griefs and i will set this foot of mine as far as who goes farthest there's a bargain made now know you casker i have moved already some certain of the noblest minded romans to undergo with me an enterprise of honorable dangerous consequence and i do know by this they stay for me in pompei's porch for now this fearful night there was no stir or walking in the streets and the complexion of the element in favors like the work we have in hand most bloody fiery and most terrible stand close a while for here comes one in haste to sinner i don't even buy his gate he's a friend sinner where haste you so to find out you who's that tell us it is kasker at one incorporate to our attempts am i not straightforward sinner i'm glad what a fearful night is this this two or three of us have seen strange signs am i not stayed four tell me yes you are oh cassius if you could but win the noble brutus to our point be you content good sinner take this paper and look you laid in the prayer test chair where brutus may but find it and throw this in at his window and set this up with wax upon our booty statue all this done prepare to pompous porch where you shall find us is dishes brutus centrobonius there oh but mattel is simba and he's gone to seek you at your house well i will hi and so bestow these papers as you babe me that done repair to pompey's theater come casker you and i will yet air day see brutus at his house three parts of him is ours already and the man entire upon the next encounter yields him hours so he sits high in all the people's hearts and that which would appear offense in us his countenance like richest alchemy will change to virtue and to worthiness him and his worth and our great need of him you have right well conceded let us go for it is after midnight and our day we will awake him and be sure of him [Music] what lucious hoe i cannot buy the progress of the stars give guess how near today lucious i say why would it were my fault to sleep so soundly when lucious when awake i say what lucious i told you my lord get me a taper in my study lucius when it is lighted come and call me here it must be by his death and for my part i know no personal cause to spurn at him but for the general he would be crowned how that might change his nature there's the question it is the bright day that brings forth the adder and that craves wary walking crown him that and then i grant we put a sting in him that at his will he may do danger with the abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power and to speak truth of caesar i have not known when his affection swayed more than his reason but it is a common proof that lowliness is young ambitions ladder where to the climber upward turns his face but when he once attains the upmost round he then under the ladder turns his back looks in the cloud scorning the base degrees by which he did ascend so caesar may then lest he may prevent and since the quarrel will bear no color for the thing he is fashion it thus that what he is augmented would run to these and these extremities and therefore think him as a serpent's egg which hatched what does his kind grow mischievous and kill him in the shell the taper burners in your closet sir searching the window for a flint i found this paper though sealed up and i'm sure it did not lie there when i went to bed i'll get you to bed again it is not day is not tomorrow by the ides of march i know not sir look in the calendar and bring me a word i will sir the exhalations whizzing in the air give so much light that i may read by them brutus thou sleepst awakens see thyself shall roam etc speak strike redress brutus thus sleeps to awake such instigations have been often dropped where i've took them up shall roam etc thus must i piece it out shall room stand under one man's oar what rome my ancestors did from the streets of rome the tarquin drive when he was called a king speak strike redress am i entreated to speak and strike oh rome i make thee promise if the redress will follow i'll receive his thy full petition at the hand of brutus so much is wasted 15 days it is good go to the gate somebody knocks since cassius first did wet me against caesar i have not slept between the acting of a dreadful thing and the first motion all the interim is like a fantasma or a hideous dream the genius and the mortal instruments are then in counsel and the state of man like to a little kingdom suffers then the nature of an insurrection sir says your brother cassie's at the door who does desire to see you is he alone no sir there are more with him do you know them no sir their hats are plucked about their ears and half their faces buried in the cloaks that by no means i may discover them by any mark of favor they are the faction oh conspiracy shameless thou to show thy dangerous brow by night when evils are most free oh then by day where will thou find a cavern dark enough to mask thy monstrous visage seek none conspiracy hide it in smiles and have ability for if thou path by native semblance of not erebus itself were dim enough to hide thee from prevention i think we are too bold upon your rest good morrow brutal stewie trouble you i have been up this hour awake all night now are these men that come along with you yes every man of them and no man here but honors you and everyone just wish you had but that opinion of yourself which every noble roman bears of you this is trebonius he is welcome heather this decius brutus welcome to this casket this sinner and this metallus simba they are all welcome what watchful cares doing to pose themselves betwixt your eyes and night shall i entreat a word here lies the east does not the day break here no no pardon so it doth and young grey lions have threat the clouds are messengers of day you shall confess that you are both deceived here as i point my sword the sun arises which is a great way growing on the south weighing the youthful season of the year some two months hence up higher towards the north he first presents his fire and the high east stands as the capital directly here give me your hands all over one by one and let us swear our resolution no not an oath if not the face of man the sufferance of our souls the times abuse if these be motives weak break off be times and every man heads to his idle bed so let high sighted tyranny range until each man dropped by lottery but if these as i am sure they do bear fire enough to kindle cowards and to steal with val of the melting spirits of women then countrymen what need we any sperm at our own cause to prick us to redress what are the bond than secret romans that have spoke the word and will not poulter and what other oath than honesty to honesty engaged that this shall be or we will fall for it swear priests and cowards and men quarterless old feeble carrions and such suffering souls that welcome wrongs unto bad causes swear such creatures as men doubt but do not stain the even virtue of our enterprise nor the insuppressive metal of our spirits to think that or our cause or our performance did need an oath when every drop of blood that every roman bears and nobody bears is guilty of a several bastardy if he do break the smallest particle of any promise that hath passed from him but what of cicero shall we sound him i think he will stand very strong with us let us not leave him out no by no means oh let us have him for his silver hairs will purchase us a good opinion and buy men's voices to commend our deeds it shall be said his judgment ruled our hands our youths and wilden shall no wit appear but all be buried in his gravity [Music] oh name him not let us not break with him for he will never follow anything that other men begin then then leave him out indeed he's not fit shall no man else be touched but only caesar de well urged i think it is not meat mark anthony so well beloved of caesar should outlive caesar we shall find of him a shrewd contriver and you know his means if he improved them may well stretch so far as to annoy us all which to prevent let anthony and caesar fall together our course will seem too bloody caius cassius to cut the head off and then hack the limbs like wrath in death and envy afterwards for anthony is but a limb of caesar let us be sacrifices but not butchers caius we all stand up against the spirit of caesar and in the spirit of men there is no blood oh that we could come by caesar's spirit and not dismember caesar but alas caesar must bleed for and gentle friends let's kill him boldly but not roughly let's carve him as a dish fit for the gods not hewim as a carcass fit for hounds and let our hearts as subtle masters do stir up their servants to an act of rage and after seem to chide him this shall make our purpose necessary and not envious which so appearing to the common eyes we shall be called purgers not murderers and for mark anthony think not of him for he can do no more than caesar's arm when caesar's head is off yet i fear him for in the engrafted love he bears to cease good cassius do not think of him if he loves caesar all that he can do is to himself take thought and die for caesar and that much he should for he has given to sports to wildness and much company there is no fear in him let him not die for he will live and laugh at this hereafter peace count the clock clock was tricking three it is time to part but it is doubtful yet whether caesar will come forth today or no for he is superstitious groan of late quite from the main opinion he held once of fantasy of dreams and ceremonies it may be these apparent prodigies the unaccustomed terror of this night and the persuasion of his augurers may hold him from the capital today never fear that if he be so resolved i can oh sway him for he loves to hear that unicorns may be betrayed with trees and bears with glasses elephants with holes lions with toils and men with flatterers but when i tell him he hates flatterers he says he does being then most flattered let me work i can give his humor the true bent and i will bring him to the capitol nate we will all of us be there to fetch him by the eighth hour is that the uttermost be that the uttermost and fail not then caius lagaria stuff bear caesar hard who rated him for speaking well of pompey i wonder none of you have thought of him now good metallis go along by him he loves me well and i have given him reasons send him butt hither and i'll fashion him the morning comes upon so we'll leave you brutus and friends disperse yourselves but all remember what you've said and show yourselves true romance good gentlemen look fresh and merrily let not our looks put on our purposes but bear it as our roman actors do with untied spirits and formal constancy and so good morrow to you everyone boy lucious fast asleep it is no matter enjoy the honey

beggars die there are no comets seen the heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princesses howards die many times before their deaths the valiant never taste of death but once of all the wonders

plucking the entrails of an offering forth they could not find a heart within the beast the gods do this in shame of cowardice caesar should be a beast without a heart if he should stay at home today

men and turn pre-ordinance and first decree into the law of children be not fond to think caesar bears such rebel blood that will be thawed from the true quality with that which melteth fools i mean sweet words low crooked curtsies and base spaniel falling thy brother by decree is banish it if thou must bend and pray and form for him i spurn thee like a cur out of my way no caesar doth not wrong nor without cause will he be satisfied is there no voice more worthy than my own to sound more sweetly and great caesar's a for the repealing of my banished brother i kiss thy hand but not in flattery caesar desiring me that publius simba may have an immediate freedom of repeal what protests pardon caesar caesar martin as low as to thy foot death cassius fall to beg and franchisement for publius simba 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 of whose true fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament the skies are painted with unnumbered sparks they are all fire and everyone doth shine but there's but one in all doth hold his place so in the world just furnished well with men and men are flesh and blood and apprehensive yet in the number i do know but one that unassailable holds on his rank unshaked of motion and that i am he let me a little show it even in this that i was constant simba should be banished and constant do remain to keep him so oh caesar hence will thou lift up olympus great caesar that's not brutus bootless kneel speak hands for me [Applause] a four seasons liberty freedom tyranny is dead run hence proclaim cry it about the streets some to the common pulpits and cry out liberty freedom and enfranchisement people and senators be not a frightened fly not

caesar's friends that have abridged his time of fearing death stoop romans stoop and let us bathe our hands in caesar's blood up to the elbows and bismir our swords then walk me forth even to the marketplace and waving our red weapons over our heads let's all cry peace freedom and liberty stoop then and wash how many ages hence shall this lofty scene be acted over in states unborn and an accent yet unknown how many times shall caesar bleed in sport that now on pompey's basis lies along no worthier than the dust so after that shall be so often shall we not of us be called the men that gave their country liberty what shall we force every man away brutus shall lead and we will grace his heels with the most boldest and best hearts of rome soft who comes here a friend of anthony's thus brutus did my master bid me kneel thus did mark anthony bid me fall down and being prostrate thus he badly say brutus is noble wise valiant and honest caesar was mighty bold royal and loving say i love brutus and i honor him say i feared caesar honored him and loved him if brutus will thou say that anthony may safely come to him and be resolved how caesar hath deserved to lie in death mark

anthony thy master is a wise and valiant roman i never thought him worse tell him so please him come unto this place he shall be satisfied and by my honor depart untouched i'll fetch him presently i know that we shall have him well to friend i wish we may but yet have i a mind that fears him much and my misgiving still falls shortly to the purpose but here comes anthony welcome mark anthony oh mighty caesar does though lie so low are all thy conquests glories triumphs spoils shrunk to this little measure fairly well i know not gentlemen what you intend who else must be let blood who else is rank if i myself there is no hour so fit as caesar's death our nor no instrument of half that worth as those your swords made rich with the most noble blood of all this world i do beseechy if you bear

deed on caesar for your part to you our swords have laden points mark anthony our arms in strength of malice and our hearts of brother's temper to receive you in with all kind love good thoughts and reverence your voice shall be as strong as any man's in the disposing of new dignities only be patient till we have appeased the multitude beside themselves with fear and then we will deliver you the

grieve thee dearer than thy death to see thy anthony making his peace shaking the bloody fingers of thy foes most noble in the presence of thy course had eyes many eyes as thou hast wounds weeping as fast as they stream forth thy blood it would become me better than to close in terms of friendship with thine enemies pardon me julius here was thou bait braveheart here did thou fall and hear thy hunters stand signed in thy spoil and crimsoned in thy leafy o world that was the forest to this heart and this indeed o world the heart of thee like a deer strucken by many princes dost thou here lie

pricked in number of our friends or shall we on and not depend on you therefore i took your hands but was indeed swayed from the point by looking down on caesar friends i am with you all and love you all upon this hope that you shall give me reasons why and wherein caesar was dangerous or else with this a savage spectacle our reasons are so full of good regard that were you anthony the son of caesar you should be satisfied that's all i seek and i'm moreover suitor that i may produce his body to the marketplace and in the pulpit as becomes a friend speak in the order of his funeral you shall marc anthony i brought us a word with you know not what you do do not consent and anthony speak in his funeral know you how much the people may be moved by that which he will utter by your pardon i will myself into the pulpit first and show the reason of our caesar's death what anthony shall speak i will protest he speaks by leave and by permission and that we are contented caesar shall have all true rights and lawful ceremonies it shall advantage more than do us mark anthony here take you caesar's body you shall not in your funeral speech blame us but speak all good you can devise of caesar and say you do it by our permission else shall you not have any hand at all about his funeral and you shall speak in the same pulpit where to i am going after my speech is ended be it so i do desire no more prepare the body then and follow us oh pardon me thou bleeding piece of earth that i am meek and gentle with these butchers thou art the ruins of the noblest man that ever lived in the tide of times woe to the hand that shed this costly blood over thy wounds now do i prophesy which like dumb mouths to open their ruby lips to beg the voice and utterance of my tongue a curse shall light upon the limbs of men domestic fury and fierce civil strife shall cumber all the parts of italy blood and destruction shall be so in use and dreadful objects so familiar that mothers shall but smile when they behold their infants quartered with the hands of war all pity choked with customer fell deeds and caesar's spirit ranging for revenge with arte by his side come hot from hell shall in these confines with a monarch's voice cry havoc and let's slip the dogs of war that this foul deed shall smell above the earth with carrion men groaning for burial you serve octavius caesar do you not i do mark anthony caesar did right for him to come to rome he did receive his letters and his coming and bid me say to you by word of mouth oh caesar heart is big get the apartment weep passion i see is catching for mine eyes seeing those beads of sorrow stand in line began to water it is thy master coming he lies tonight within seven leagues of rome boast back with speed and tell him what it's chanced here is a morning rome a dangerous rome no rome of safety for octavius yet hi henson tell him so yet stay a while thou shalt not back till i have borne this course into the marketplace there shall i try in my oration how the people take the cruel issue of these bloody men according to the which thou shalt discourse to young octavius of the state of things lend me your hand [Music] [Music] cassie just go you into the other street and plant the numbers those that will hear me speak let them stay here those that will follow cassius go with him and public reason shall be rendered of caesar's death i will hear brutus speak i will hear cassius and compare their reasons when severally we hear them rendered the noble brutus is ascended silence be patient till the last romans countrymen lovers hear me for my cause and be silent that you may hear believe me for my honor and have respect to mine honor that you may believe censor me in your wisdom and awake your senses that you may the better judge if there be any in this assembly any dear friend of caesars 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 oh yes had you rather caesar were living and die all slaves from that caesar were dead to live all free man as caesar loved me i weep for him as he was fortunate i rejoice at it as he was valiant i honor him but as he was ambitious i slew him there is tears for his love joy for his fortune honor for his valor and death for his ambition who is here so base that would be a 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 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 capital his glory not extenuated wherein he was worthy nor his offenses enforced for which he suffered death here comes his body mourned by mark anthony 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 but 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 [Applause] you'll bring him to his house with shouts and plumbers let me depart alone and for my sake stay here with anthony do grace to caesar's corpse and grace his speech tending to caesar's glories which mark anthony by our permission is allowed to make i do entreat you not a man depart save i alone till anthony have spoke stay pope and let us hear mark anthony let him go up in the public chair we'll hear him noble anthony go up for brutus sake i am beholding to you what does he say of brutus he says the buddhism's sake he finds himself beholding to us all to our besties here this caesar was a tyrant he that's certain we are blessed that rome is rid of him peace let us hear what anthony can say you gentle romans 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 often turreted with their bones so let it be with caesar the noble brutus hath told you caesar was ambitious if it was so it were a grievous fault and grievously hath caesar answered 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 the 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 looper call 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 oh judgment 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 he come back to me and thinks there is much reason in his saints if they're considered rightly of the matter caesar is at great wrong has he masters i think they will at worst come in his place well emoji's words he would not take the crown their thought is certain he was not ambitious if he found so someone dear abide it poor soul his eyes are red as fire with weeping there's not a nobler man in rome than anthony now mark him he begins again to speak but yesterday the word of caesar might have stood against the world now lies he there and none so poor to do him reverence oh 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 it is 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 yay beg a hair of him for memory and dying mention it within their wills bequeathing it as a rich legacy unto their issue we will hear the will read it patience gentle friends i must not read it it is not meat 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 it is good you know not that you are his heirs for if you should what would come of it read the will we'll hear it anthony you shall read us the world caesar's will will you be patient will you stay a while i have a shot myself to tell you of it i fear i wrong the honorable men whose daggers have stabbed caesar i do fear it they were traitors [Applause] [Music] then make a ring about the corpse of caesar and let me show you him that made the well shall i descend and will you give me leave come down come down you shall have leave a ring away stand from the hearse 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 to us on a summer's evening in his tent that day he overcame the nervy eye look in this place ran cassius dagger through see what a rent the envious casker made through this the well-beloved brutus stabbed and as he plucked his cursed steel away mark how the blood of caesar followed it as rushing out of doors to be resolved if brutus so unkindly knocked or no for brutus as you know was caesar's angel judge oh you gods how dearly caesar loved him this was the most unkindest cut of all for when the noble caesar saw him stab in gratitude more strong than traitor's arms quite vanquished him then burst his mighty heart and in his mantle muffling up his face even at the base of pompey statue which all the while ran blood great caesar fell oh what a fool was there my countrymen then i and you and all of us fell down whilst bloody treason flourished over us oh now you weep and i perceive you feel the dint of pity these are gracious drops kind souls what we be when you but behold our caesar's vest your wounded look you here here is himself marred as you see with traitors oh lydia spectacle noble caesar a woeful good friends sweet friends let me not stir you up to such a sudden flood of mutiny they that have done this deed are 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 poor dumb mouths and bid them speak for me but where i brutus and brutus anthony there were an anthony 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 away then come seek the conspirators yet hear me countrymen yet hear me speak peace noble anthony 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 all is the will and under caesar's seal to every roman citizen he gives to every several man 75 drachmas this oval caesar will revenge his death royal caesar hear me with patience 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 never never now let it work mischief thou art afraid take that what caused thy wilt how now fella sir octavius has already come to rome where is he he and lepidus are at caesar's house and neither will i stray to visit him he comes upon a wish fortune is merry and in this mood will give us anything i heard him say brutus and cassius are red like madmen through the gates of rome but like they had some notice of the people how i had moved them bring me to octavius i dreamt tonight that i did feast with caesar and things unlucky charge my fantasy i have no will to wander forth of doors yet something leads me forth what is your name oh where do you dwell are you a married man or a bachelor answer everyone directly i am briefly i am wisely i am truly you are best what is my name whether 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 as much as to say they are fools that marry you bear me a bang for that fear proceed directly directly i am going to cesar's funeral as a friend or an element as a friend that matter has answered directly for your dwelling briefly briefly i dwelled by the capital your name sir truly truly my name is sinner terrence of pieces he's a conspirator i'm sinner the poet i am sinner the telling for his bad verses daring for his bad verses i am not silly conspirator he's no matter his name's sinner pluck but his name out of his heart and turn him going tear him up burn all some to this house something something like that away go these many then shall die their names are pricked your brother too must die can send you lepidus i do consent break him down anthony upon condition publius shall not live who is your sister's son mark anthony 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 what shall i find you here or here or the capital this is a slight unmeritable man meets to be sent on errands is it fit the threefold world divided he should stand one of the three to share it so you thought him and took his voice who should be pricked to die in our black sentence and prescription octavius i have seen more days than you and although we lay these honours on this man to ease ourselves of diverse slanderous loads he shall not 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 you may do your will but he's a tried and valiant soldier 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 governed by my spirit and in some taste is lepidus but so he must be taught and trained 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 stretched and let us presently go sit and counsel how covert matters may be best disclosed and open peril's surest answer ed let us do so for we are at the stake and bade about with many enemies and some that smile having their hearts i fear millions of mischiefs what now lucillus is cassius near he is at hand and pinderas his counter to you salutation from his master he greets me well your master pinderas in his own change or by ill officers have given me some worthy cause to wish things done undone but if he be at hand i shall be satisfied i do not doubt but that my noble master will appear such as he is full of regard and honor he is not doubted a word lucillus how he received you let me be resolved with courtesy and with respect enough but not with such familiar instances nor with such free and friendly confidence as he hath used to bold thou has described a hot friend cooling evernote lucillus when love begins to sicken and decay it uses an enforced ceremony there are no tricks in plain and simple faith but hollow men like horses hot at hand make gallant show and promise of their metal but when they should endure the bloody spur they fool their crests and like deceitful jade sink in the trial comes his army on they mean this night inside is to be quartered the greater part the horse in general i'll come with cassius [Music] most noble brother you have done me wrong judge me your gods wrong i mine enemies and if not so how should i wrong a brother brutus this sober form of yours hides wrongs and when you dance be content speak your griefs softly i don't know you well before the eyes of both our armies here which should perceive nothing but love from us let us not wrangle bit the move away then in my tent cassius enlarge your griefs and i will give you audience pinduras bid our commanders lead their charges off a little from this ground lucilius do you the like and let no man come to our tent till we have done our conference let lucius and titinius guard our door that you have wronged me to appear in this you have condemned and noted lucius peller for taking bribes here of the sardians were in my letters praying on his side because i knew the man was slighted off you wronged yourself to write in such a case in such a time as this it is not meat that every nice event should bear his comments let me tell you cassius you yourself are much condemned to have an itching palm to sell and mark your offices for gold to undeserve us aye an itching palm you know that you're brutus that speaks this or by the gods this speech or else you're lost the name of cassius honors this corruption and chastisement dot therefore hide his head chastisement remember march the ides of march remember did not great julius bleed for justice sake what villain touched his body that did stab and not for justice what shall one of us that struck the foremost man of all this world but for supporting robbers shall we now contaminate our fingers with base bribes and sell the mighty space of our large honours for so much trash as maybe grasped thus i had rather be a dog and bay at the moon than such a roman reuters bait not me i'll not endure it you forget yourself to hedge me in i am a soldier i older in practice abler than yourself to make conditions go too you are not cassio i am i say you are not urge me no more i shall forget myself have mind upon your health tempt me no father away slight man possible hear me for i will speak must i give way and room to your rash collar shall i be frightened when a madman stares oh ye gods you gods must i enjoy all this all this i'm more fret till your proud heart break go show your slaves how choleric you are and make your bond man tremble must i budge must i observe you must i stand and crouch

means by heaven i could rather coin my heart and drop my blood for drachmas than to ring from the hard hands of peasants their vile trash by any indirection i did send to you for gold to pay my legions which you denied me was that done like cassius should i have answered caius cassius so when marcus brutus grows so covetous to lock the rascal counters from his friends be ready gods with all your thunderbolts dash him to pieces i denied you not you i did not he was but a fool that brought my answer back brutus hath raved my heart a friend should bear his friend's infirmities but brutus

appear as huge as high olympus come anthony hanyon latavius come revenge yourselves alone on cassius for cassius is a weary of the world hated by one he loves braved by his brother checked like a bondman all his faults observed set in a notebook learned and conned by rope to cast into my teeth oh i could weep my spirit from my eyes there is my dagger and here my naked breast within a heart

come down but keep the hills and upper regions it proves not so their battles are at hand they mean to warn us at philippi here answering before we do demand of them tat i am in their bosoms and i know wherefore they do it they could be content to visit other places and come down with fearful bravery thinking by this face to fasten in our thoughts that they have courage but it's not so prepare your generals the enemy comes on in gallant show their bloody sign of battle is hung out and something to be done immediately octavius lead your battle softly on upon the left hand of the even field upon the right-hand eye keep thou the left why do you cross me in this exigent i do not cross you but i will do so they stand and would have parliament stand first titties we must ouch and talk mark anthony shall we give the sign a battle no caesar we will answer on their charge make fourth the generals would have some words stir not until the signal words before blows is it so countrymen not that we love words better as you do good words are better than bad strokes octavius in your bad strokes brutus you give good words witness the hole you made in caesar's heart crying a long live hail caesar anthony the posture of your blows are yet unknown but for your words they rub the heibler bees and leave them honeyless not stingless too oh yes and soundless too for you have stolen their buzzing anthony and very wisely threat before you stay villains you did not so when your vile daggers hacked one another in the sides of caesar you showed your teeth like apes and formed like hounds and bowed like bond men kissing caesar's feet whilst damned casket like occur behind struck caesar on the neck oh you flatterers flatterers now brutus thank yourself this time you're not offended so the day of cassius might have ruled come come the cause if arguing maker sweat the proof of it will turn to rudder drops look i draw a sword against conspirators when think you that sword goes up again never till caesar's three and thirty wounds will be avenged or till another caesar have added slaughter to the sword of traitors caesar thou canst not die by traitors hands unless thou bringst them with thee so i hope i wasn't born to die on brutus sword oh if thou wert the noblest of thy strain young man thou couldst not die more honorable a peevish schoolboy worthless of such honor joined with a masker and a reveller hold cassie is still anthony away defiance traitors hell we in your teeth if you dare fight today come to the field if not when you have stomachs why now blow in swell below and swim back the storm is up and all is on the hazard oh lucilius i got word with you my lord masala what says my general masala this is my birthday as this very day was cassius born give me the hand masala be thou my witness that against my will as pompey was am i compelled to set upon one battle all our liberties you know that i held a peculiar strong and his opinion now i changed my mind and partly credit things that do presage coming from sardis on our former ensigns two mighty eagles fell and there they perched gorging and feeding from our soldiers hands who to philippi here consorted us this morning are they fled away and gone and in their states do ravens crows and kites flew our heads and down would look on us as we were sickly bray the shadows seem a canopy most fatal under which our army lies ready to give up the ghost believe not so i'd not believe it partly for i am fresh of spirit and resolve to meet all perils very constantly even so loosely now most noble brutus the gods today stand friendly that we may love us in peace lead on our days to age but since the affairs of men are still in certain let's reason with the worst that may befall if we do lose this battle then is this the very last time we shall speak together what are you then determined to do even by the rule of that philosophy by which i did blame cato for the death which he did give himself i know not how but i do find it cowardly and vile for fear of what might fall so to prevent the time of life arming myself with patience to stay the providence of some high powers that govern us below then if we lose this battle you are contented to be led in triumph thorough the streets of rome no cassius no think not thou noble roman that ever brutus will go bound to rome he bears too great a mind but this same day must end that work the ides of march began and whether we shall meet again i know not therefore our everlasting fair will take forever and forever farewell cassius if we do meet again why we shall smile if not where then this parting was well made forever and forever farewell brutus if we do meet again we'll smile indeed if not is true this parting was well made why then lead on oh that a man might know the end of this day's business here it come but it sufficeth that the day will end and then the end is known come home away [Music] right right masala ride and give these bills under the legions on the other side let them set on at once before i deceive but cold demonic in and sudden push gives them the overthrow right right masala let them all come [Music] down [Music] oh look tetinius look the villains fly myself have to mine own turned enemy this end side here of mine was turning back i slew the coward and didn't take it from him oh crazy as brutus gave the word too early who having some advantage on octavius took it too eagerly his soldiers fell to spoil whilst we by anthony are all enclosed lie further off my lord fly further off mark anthony is in your tents my lord fly therefore noble cassius fly far off this hill is far enough look look detenius are those my tents where i perceive the fire they are my lord tetinius if thou lovest me

thought go pinterest get higher on that hill my sight was ever thick regard to tiniest and tell me what thou notest about the field this day i breathe it first time has come round and where i did

come here this here in parthia did i take the prisoner and then i swore the saving of thy life that whatsoever i did bid thee doom thou should attempt it come now keep thy nose now be a free man and with this good sword that ran through caesar's bowels search this stand not to answer here take thou the hills and when my face is covered as tis no guide down the sword so i am free yet but not so have been just i have done my will oh cassius far from this country pindera shall run whenever roman shall take note of him it is but change to tinius for octavius is overthrown by noble brutus power as cassius legions are by anthony these tidings will well comfort cassius where did you leave him oh this consulate with pinderas bondman on this hill is not that he that lies upon the ground he lies not like the living or my heart is not that hing no this was he masala but cassius is no more who's setting sun as in thy red rays thou does sink tonight so in his red blood cassius day is set the sun of rome is set our day is gone close dues and dangers come our deeds are done mistrust of my success hath done this mistrust of good success has done this deed oh hateful error melancholy's child why does thou show to the apt thoughts of men the things that are not oh error soon conceived thou never comes unto a happy birth but kills the mother that engendered thee what pinderas she came to tennis plus i go to meet the noble brutus thrusting this report into his ears i may say thrusting it for piercing steel and darts in venom chubby as welcome to the ears of brutus as tidings of this psych hi you masala and i will seek for penderus the while why did thou sent me forth brave cassius did i not meet thy friends and did not they put on my brows this wreath of victory and bit me give it thee this thou not hear their shouts alas thou has misconstrued everything but hold thee take this garland on thy brow thy brutus bid me give it thee and i will do his bidding brutus come apace and see how i regarded caius cassius by your leave gods this is a roman's part heart where where the solid of this body lie no younger entertainers mourning it certainly his face is upward ah he is slain oh julius caesar thou art mighty yet thy spirit walks abroad and turns our swords in our own proper entrails brave titanius look where he have not crowned dead cassius are yet two romans living such as these the last of all the romans fare thee well it is impossible that ever rome should breed thy fellow friends i owe more tears to this dead man than you shall see me pay i shall find time cassius i
