Antony’s Address to Romans

“Julius Caesar”

(by W. Shakespeare)

ˏFriends,| ˏRomans,| ˎcountrymen,| ˎlend me your ˎears;|

ˈI ˈcome to ˎbury ˌCaesar,| ˈnot to ͵praise him.||

The ˈevil that ˈmen ˎdo| ˈlives ˎafter ˌthem,|

The ˌgood is ˈoft inˋterred with their ˎbones;|

ˈSo ˈlet it ˈbe with ˎCaesar.|| The ˈnoble ˏBrutus|

Hath ˏtold you| ˎCaeˏsar| was amˋbitious.||

̅If it were ˎso,| it was a ˎgrievous ˌfault,|

And ↘grievously hath ↘Caesar ˋanswer’d it |

↗Here ↗under ↗leave of ˏBrutus ˈand the ˏrest,|

For ˏBrutus| ˏis an ˋhonourable ̬man;|

So are they ˎall,| ˎall| ˈhonourable ˎmen,|

ˈCome I to ˎspeak| in ˈCaesar’s ˎfuneral.||

He ˈwas my ˎfriend,| ˏfaithful| and ˎjust to| ˎme;|

But ˈBrutus →says| he ˈwas amˋbitious;|

And ˏBrutus| is an ˎhonourable ˌman.||

He hath brought ˈmany ˋcaptives ˌhome to ˌRome,|

Whose →ransoms| did the ˈgeneral ˎcoffers ˌfill;|

Did ˈthis in ˏCaesar| ˈseem amˏbitious?|

When that the ↘poor had ̬ cried,| ↘Caesar hath ˋwept;|

Amˏbition| should be ˈmade of ˋsterner stuff;|

ˏYet| ˏBrutus| ˏsays| he ˈwas amˎbitious;|

And ˏBrutus| ˏis an ˙honourable ˎman.||

You ↘all did ˎsee | that on the ˈLuperˏcal|

I ˈthrice preˈsented him a ˈkingly →crown,|

Which ↘he did ↘thrice reˋfuse: | was ˈthis amˏbition?||

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;

And, sure, he is an honourable 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 morn 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 it comes back to me.
