I Cit. Stand from the hearse; stand from the body. 2 Cit. Room for Antony ! most noble Antony ! Ant. Nay, press not so upon me; stand far off. Citizens. Stand back; room! bear back.
Ant. If you have tears, prepare to shed them now. You all do know this mantle: I remember
The first time ever Cæsar 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 how the blood of Cæsar follow'd it, - As rushing out of doors, to be resolv'd If Brutus so unkindly knock'd, or no;
For Brutus, as you know, was Cæsar's angel: Judge, O you gods, how dearly Cæsar lov'd him ! This was the most unkindest cut of all; For, when the noble Cæsar saw him stab, Ingratitude, more strong than traitors' arms,
Quite vanquish'd him: then burst his mighty heart; And, in his mantle muffling up his face,
Even at the base of Pompey's statua, Which all the while ran blood, great Cæsar fell. O, what a fall was there, my countrymen! Then I, and you, and all of us fell down, Whilst bloody treason flourish'd over us.
O, now you weep; and, I perceive, you feel The dint of pity: these are gracious drops. Kind souls, what, weep you, when you but behold Our Cæsar's vesture wounded? Look you here, Here is himself, marr'd, as you see, with traitors. 1 Cit. O piteous spectacle!
2 Cit. O noble Cæsar! 3 Cit. O woeful day! 4 Cit. O traitors, villains!
1 Cit. O most bloody sight!
2 Cit. We will be reveng'd.
Citizens. Revenge, - about, seek,- burn, fire, — kill, slay, let not a traitor live!
Ant. Stay, countrymen.
I Cit. Peace there! hear the noble Antony.
2 Cit. We'll hear him, we'll follow him, we'll die with him. Ant. Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you up
To such a sudden flood of mutiny.
They that have done this deed are honourable : What private griefs they have, alas, I know not, That made them do't; they're wise and honourable, 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 Cæsar's wounds, poor, 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 Cæsar, that should move The stones of Rome to rise in mutiny.
