- 0:15Speaker 2: Hence home you idle creatures? Get you home? Is this
- 0:19Speaker 2: a holiday? What know you?
- 0:22Speaker 3: Not?
- 0:22Speaker 2: Being mechanical? You ought not walk upon a laboring day
- 0:26Speaker 2: without the sign of your profession. Speak? What trade art thou?
- 0:30Speaker 4: Why, sir, a carpenter?
- 0:32Speaker 5: Where is thy leather apron and thy rule? What dost
- 0:35Speaker 5: thou with thy best apparel on you?
- 0:36Speaker 6: Sir?
- 0:37Speaker 1: What trade are you, truly, sir?
- 0:39Speaker 7: In respect of a fine workman? I am, but, as
- 0:41Speaker 7: he would say, a cobbler.
- 0:43Speaker 5: But what trade art thou? Answer me directly?
- 0:46Speaker 7: A trade, sir, that I hope I may use with
- 0:48Speaker 7: a safe conscience, which is indeed, sir, Amanda of Bed's hoas.
- 0:53Speaker 5: What trade thou nave thou?
- 0:55Speaker 8: Naughty knave?
- 0:55Speaker 5: What trade?
- 0:57Speaker 1: Nay?
- 0:57Speaker 7: I beseech you, sir, be not out with me? Yet?
- 1:00Speaker 7: If you be out, Sir, I can mend you.
- 1:02Speaker 5: What meanst thou by?
- 1:03Speaker 9: That?
- 1:04Speaker 5: Mend me thou, saucy fellow.
- 1:06Speaker 7: Why sir, cobble you?
- 1:08Speaker 2: Thou art a cobbler? Art thou, truly, sir?
- 1:11Speaker 7: Are that I live by? Is with the all I
- 1:13Speaker 7: met it, with no tradement's matters, no women's matters, But
- 1:17Speaker 7: with all I am, indeed, Sir, a surgeon to o choose.
- 1:20Speaker 7: When they are in great danger, I recover them as
- 1:23Speaker 7: proper man as ever trod upon it. It's leather have
- 1:26Speaker 7: gone upon my handiwork.
- 1:27Speaker 2: But wherefore art not in thy shop today? Why dost
- 1:30Speaker 2: thou lead these men about the streets.
- 1:33Speaker 7: Truly, sir, to wear out their shoes, to get myself
- 1:36Speaker 7: into more work. But indeed, Sir, we may holiday to
- 1:40Speaker 7: see Caesar and to rejoice in his triumph.
- 1:43Speaker 5: Wherefore rejoice what conquest brings he home? What tributaries follow
- 1:49Speaker 5: him to Rome? To grace in captive bonds? His chariot
- 1:52Speaker 5: wheels You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things, Oh,
- 1:59Speaker 5: you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome. Knew you
- 2:02Speaker 5: not Pompy many a time? And oft have you climbed
- 2:06Speaker 5: up to walls and battlements, to towers and windows, yea,
- 2:10Speaker 5: to chimney tops, your infants in your arms. And there
- 2:13Speaker 5: have sat the livelong day with patient expectation to see
- 2:18Speaker 5: great Pompy past the streets of Rome. And when you
- 2:23Speaker 5: saw his chariot, but appear. Have you not made an
- 2:27Speaker 5: universal shout that Tiber trembled underneath her banks to hear
- 2:32Speaker 5: the replication of your sounds made in her concave shores.
- 2:37Speaker 5: And do you now put on your best attire? And
- 2:41Speaker 5: do you now call out a holiday? And do you
- 2:45Speaker 5: now strew flowers in his way that comes in triumph
- 2:48Speaker 5: over Pompy's blood?
- 2:51Speaker 10: Be gone?
- 2:52Speaker 5: Run to your houses, fall upon your knees, pray to
- 2:56Speaker 5: the gods to intermit the plague that needs must liked
- 3:00Speaker 5: on this ingratitude.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Go go, good countrymen, and for this fault, assemble all
- 3:06Speaker 2: the poor men of your sort, Draw them to Tiber banks,
- 3:10Speaker 2: and weep your tears into the channel till the lowest stream.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Do kiss the most exalted shores of all eciant.
- 3:17Speaker 1: All the commoners.
- 3:18Speaker 2: See whether their basest metal be not moved. They vanish,
- 3:22Speaker 2: tongue tight in their guiltiness. Go you down that way
- 3:25Speaker 2: towards the capital. This way will I disrobe the images?
- 3:28Speaker 2: If you do find them decked with ceremonies, May we
- 3:31Speaker 2: do so?
- 3:32Speaker 5: You know it is the feast of lupercal It is
- 3:35Speaker 5: no matter.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Let no images be hung with Caesar's trophies. Ile about
- 3:40Speaker 2: and drive away the vulgar from the streets. So do
- 3:43Speaker 2: you too, where you perceive them thick These growing feathers
- 3:46Speaker 2: plucked from Caesar's wing will make him fly an ordinary pitch.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Who else would soar above the view of men and
- 3:53Speaker 2: keep us all in servile fearfulness?
- 3:56Speaker 1: Exciant scene too, a public place, Flourish, enter Caesar, Antony
- 4:05Speaker 1: for the course Calpernia, portia, deseus, Brutus, Cicero, Brutus, Cassius,
- 4:12Speaker 1: and Casca. A great crowd following, among them a soothsayer Calpurnia.
- 4:19Speaker 11: Peace Ho, Caesar speaks Calpurnia. Here, my lord, stand you
- 4:27Speaker 11: directly in Antonius's way when he doth run his course
- 4:31Speaker 11: Antonius Caesar, my lord, forget not in your speed, Antonius,
- 4:36Speaker 11: to touch Calpurnia. For our elders, say the baron touched
- 4:40Speaker 11: in this holy chase, shake off their sterile curse.
- 4:44Speaker 12: I shall remember when Caesar says, do this, it is performed.
- 4:48Speaker 11: Set on and leave no ceremony out.
- 4:52Speaker 4: Flourish Caesar, ha who calls, bid every noise be still?
- 4:58Speaker 6: Peace?
- 4:59Speaker 11: Yet again, who is it in the press that calls
- 5:02Speaker 11: on me? I hear a tongue shriller than all the
- 5:05Speaker 11: music cry Caesar. Speak. Caesar is turned to here.
- 5:11Speaker 10: Beware the eyes of March.
- 5:14Speaker 11: What man is that?
- 5:17Speaker 3: A soothsayer? Bid you beware the eydes of March.
- 5:21Speaker 11: Set him before me, Let me see his face.
- 5:24Speaker 13: Fellow, come from the throng. Look upon Caesar.
- 5:27Speaker 11: What sayest thou to me? Now speak once.
- 5:31Speaker 14: Again, Beware the eydes of March.
- 5:36Speaker 11: He is a dreamer. Let us leave him.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Pass senate acient, All except Brutus and Cassius.
- 5:44Speaker 13: Will you go see the order of the course. Not I,
- 5:48Speaker 13: I pray you do.
- 5:50Speaker 3: I am not gainsome. I do lack some part of
- 5:54Speaker 3: that quick spirit that is in Anthony. Let me not
- 5:58Speaker 3: hinder Cassius your desires. I'll leave you.
- 6:02Speaker 13: Brutus, I do observe you now, of late, I have
- 6:06Speaker 13: not from your eyes that gentleness and show of love,
- 6:09Speaker 13: as I was wont to have. You bear to stubborn
- 6:12Speaker 13: and too strange a hand over your friend that loves you.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Cassius, be not deceived. If I have veiled my look,
- 6:21Speaker 3: I turned the trouble of my countenance merely upon myself vexed.
- 6:26Speaker 3: I am of late, with passions of some difference, conceptions
- 6:32Speaker 3: only proper to myself, which gives some soil, perhaps to
- 6:36Speaker 3: my behaviors. But let not therefore my good friends be grieved,
- 6:41Speaker 3: among which number, Cassius, be you one, Nor construe any
- 6:46Speaker 3: further my neglect than that poor Brutus, with himself at war,
- 6:51Speaker 3: forgets the shows of love to other men.
- 6:54Speaker 13: Then, Brutus, I have much mistook your passion by means
- 6:58Speaker 13: where of this breast of mine have buried thoughts of
- 7:00Speaker 13: great value, worthy cogitations. Tell me, good Brutus, can you
- 7:05Speaker 13: see your face?
- 7:07Speaker 3: No, Cassius, for the eye sees not itself but by reflection.
- 7:13Speaker 3: But some other things tis.
- 7:16Speaker 13: Just, And it is very much lamented Brutus, that you
- 7:19Speaker 13: have no such mirrors, as we'll turn your hidden worthiness
- 7:21Speaker 13: into your eye, that you might see your shadow. I
- 7:25Speaker 13: have heard were many of the best respect in Rome,
- 7:28Speaker 13: except immortal Caesar, speaking of Brutus, and groaning underneath this
- 7:32Speaker 13: age's yoke, have wished that noble Brutus had his eyes
- 7:36Speaker 13: in two.
- 7:37Speaker 3: What dangers would you lead me, Cassius, that you would
- 7:41Speaker 3: have me seek into myself for that which is not
- 7:46Speaker 3: in me?
- 7:47Speaker 13: Therefore, good Brutus, be prepared to hear. And since you
- 7:51Speaker 13: know you cannot see yourself so well as by reflection
- 7:55Speaker 13: I your glass will modestly discover to yourself that of
- 7:59Speaker 13: yourself which you yet know not of. And be not
- 8:02Speaker 13: jealous on me, gentle Brutus, Were I a common laugher?
- 8:06Speaker 13: Or did you use to staal with ordinary oaths my
- 8:08Speaker 13: love to every new protesta? If you know that I
- 8:12Speaker 13: do phone on men and hug them hard and after
- 8:14Speaker 13: scandal them, Or if you know that I profess myself
- 8:17Speaker 13: in banqueting to all the rout, then hold.
- 8:20Speaker 1: Me dangerous, flourish and shout what.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Means all this shouting? I do fear the people choose
- 8:28Speaker 3: Caesar for their king.
- 8:30Speaker 13: I do you fear it? That must? I think you
- 8:33Speaker 13: would not.
- 8:33Speaker 3: Have it, so I would not Cassius. Yet I love
- 8:39Speaker 3: him well. But wherefore do you hold me here so long?
- 8:43Speaker 3: But is it that you would impart to me if
- 8:47Speaker 3: it be aught toward the general good? Set honor in
- 8:50Speaker 3: one eye and death in the other, and I will
- 8:53Speaker 3: look on both indifferently. For let the gods so speed me.
- 8:58Speaker 3: As I love the name of honor more than I
- 9:01Speaker 3: feared death.
- 9:02Speaker 13: I know that virtue to be in you, Brutus, as
- 9:05Speaker 13: well as I do know your outward favor well, honor
- 9:09Speaker 13: is the subject of my story. I cannot tell what
- 9:12Speaker 13: you and other men think of this life, but for
- 9:14Speaker 13: my single self I had as life, not be as
- 9:17Speaker 13: lived to be in all of such a thing as
- 9:19Speaker 13: I myself. I was born free, as Caesar, so were you.
- 9:24Speaker 13: We both have fed as well, and we can both
- 9:26Speaker 13: endure the winter's cold as well as he. For once
- 9:30Speaker 13: upon a raw and gusty day, the troubled Tiber, shaving
- 9:32Speaker 13: at her shawls, Caesar said to me, dareest thou, Cassius,
- 9:36Speaker 13: Now leap in with me into this angry flood and
- 9:39Speaker 13: swim to yonder point. Upon the word accoutred as I was,
- 9:43Speaker 13: I plunged in and bade him follow. So indeed he did.
- 9:47Speaker 13: The torrent roared, and we did buffet it with lusty sinews,
- 9:50Speaker 13: throwing it aside and stemming it with hearts of controversy.
- 9:54Speaker 13: But ere we could arrive the point proposed, Caesar cried,
- 9:57Speaker 13: help me, Cassius, or I sink ay as. Andeus, our
- 10:01Speaker 13: great ancestor, did from the flames of Troy upon his
- 10:04Speaker 13: shoulder the old anchises bear. So from the waves of
- 10:07Speaker 13: Tiber did I the tired Caesar. And this man is
- 10:11Speaker 13: now become a god, and Cassius is a wretched creature
- 10:13Speaker 13: and must bend his body. Is Caesar carelessly, but not
- 10:17Speaker 13: on him. He had a fever when he was in Spain,
- 10:20Speaker 13: and when the fit was on him, I did mark
- 10:22Speaker 13: how he did shake. Tis true, this god did shake
- 10:26Speaker 13: his coward lips did from their color fly. And that
- 10:29Speaker 13: same eye whose bend doth all the world, did lose
- 10:32Speaker 13: his luster. I did hear him groan aye, And that
- 10:36Speaker 13: tongue of his bade the Romans mark him and write
- 10:38Speaker 13: his speeches in their books. Alas it cried, give me
- 10:42Speaker 13: some drink to tineus as a sick girl. Ye, Gods,
- 10:47Speaker 13: it doth amaze me. A man of such a feeble
- 10:50Speaker 13: temper should so get the start of the majestic world
- 10:53Speaker 13: and bear the palm alone.
- 10:56Speaker 3: Shout flourish another general shat. I do believe that these
- 11:02Speaker 3: applauzas are for some new honors that are heaped on Caesar.
- 11:07Speaker 13: Why man doth he bestride the narrow world like a colossus,
- 11:11Speaker 13: And we petty men walk under his huge legs and
- 11:14Speaker 13: peep about to find ourselves dishonorable graves. Men at some
- 11:18Speaker 13: time are masters of their fates. The fault, dear Brutus,
- 11:21Speaker 13: is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we
- 11:24Speaker 13: are underlings, Brutus and Caesars. What should be in that Caesar?
- 11:29Speaker 13: Why should that name be sounded more than yours? Write
- 11:32Speaker 13: them together? Yours is as fair a name. Sound them,
- 11:36Speaker 13: it doth become the mouth as well weigh them. It
- 11:39Speaker 13: is as heavy conjure with them. Brutus will start a
- 11:43Speaker 13: spirit as soon as Caesar now in the names of
- 11:46Speaker 13: all the gods at once? Upon what meat doth this
- 11:49Speaker 13: our Caesar feed? That he has grown so great age?
- 11:53Speaker 13: Thou art shamed Rome, Thou hast lost the breed of
- 11:57Speaker 13: noble bloods when went there by, and age since the
- 12:00Speaker 13: great flood. But it was famed with more than one man.
- 12:04Speaker 13: When could they say till now that talked of Rome,
- 12:07Speaker 13: that her wide walls encompassed but one man?
- 12:11Speaker 11: Now?
- 12:11Speaker 13: Is it Rome?
- 12:12Speaker 15: Indeed?
- 12:12Speaker 13: And room enough? When there is in it but one
- 12:15Speaker 13: only man? Oh, you and I have heard our fathers
- 12:18Speaker 13: say there was a Brutus once that would have brooked
- 12:21Speaker 13: the eternal devil to keep his state in Rome as
- 12:23Speaker 13: easily as a king.
- 12:26Speaker 3: That you do love me, I am nothing jealous, what
- 12:30Speaker 3: you would work with me? I have some aim. How
- 12:34Speaker 3: I have thought of this, and of these times I
- 12:37Speaker 3: shall recount hereafter. For this present I would not so
- 12:41Speaker 3: with love I might entreat you be any further moved
- 12:46Speaker 3: what you have said. I will consider what you have
- 12:50Speaker 3: to say. I will with patience here and find a
- 12:54Speaker 3: time both meet to hear and answer such high things.
- 12:59Speaker 3: Till then, my noble friend chew upon this. Brutus had
- 13:03Speaker 3: rather be a villager than to repute himself a son
- 13:07Speaker 3: of Rome. Under these hard conditions, as this time is
- 13:11Speaker 3: like to lay upon us.
- 13:13Speaker 13: I am glad that my weak words have struck. But
- 13:16Speaker 13: this much show of fire from Brutus.
- 13:19Speaker 3: The games are done, and Caesar is returning.
- 13:23Speaker 13: As they pass by, pluck Cosca by the sleeve, and
- 13:25Speaker 13: he will, after his sour fashion, tell you it hath
- 13:28Speaker 13: preceded worthy note.
- 13:29Speaker 1: To day re enter Caesar and his train.
- 13:33Speaker 11: I will do so.
- 13:35Speaker 3: But look, you, Cassius, the angry spot doth glow on
- 13:39Speaker 3: Caesar's brow, and all the rest looked like a chidden train.
- 13:44Speaker 3: Calpernia's cheek is pale, and Cicero looks with such ferret
- 13:49Speaker 3: and such fiery eyes as we have seen him in
- 13:52Speaker 3: the Capitol being crossed in conference by some senators.
- 13:57Speaker 11: Cosco will tell us what the matter is, Antonius Caesar.
- 14:02Speaker 11: Let me have men about me that are fat, sleek
- 14:05Speaker 11: headed men, and such as sleep o nights yond. Cassius
- 14:10Speaker 11: has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much.
- 14:14Speaker 11: Such men are dangerous.
- 14:16Speaker 12: Fear him, not, Caesar. He's not dangerous. He is a
- 14:19Speaker 12: noble Roman, and well given.
- 14:22Speaker 11: Would he were fatter. But I fear him not. Yet,
- 14:25Speaker 11: if my name were liable to fear, I do not
- 14:27Speaker 11: know the man I should avoid so soon as that
- 14:31Speaker 11: spare Cassius. He reads much. He is a great observer,
- 14:35Speaker 11: and he looks quite through the deeds of men. He loves,
- 14:39Speaker 11: no plays, as thou dost Antony. He hears no music. Seldom.
- 14:44Speaker 11: He smiles and smiles in such a sort as if
- 14:47Speaker 11: he mocked himself and scorned his spirit that could be
- 14:50Speaker 11: moved to smile at anything. Such men as he be
- 14:54Speaker 11: never at heart's ease, whilst they behold a greater than themselves.
- 14:59Speaker 11: And therefore I are they very dangerous. I rather tell
- 15:03Speaker 11: thee what is to be feared than what I fear.
- 15:06Speaker 11: For always I am Caesar. Come on my right hand,
- 15:10Speaker 11: for this ear is deaf, and tell me truly what
- 15:14Speaker 11: thou think'st of him?
- 15:15Speaker 1: Senate Exie and Caesar and all his train.
- 15:19Speaker 10: But Kaska, you pulled me by the cloak. Would you
- 15:22Speaker 10: speak with me?
- 15:23Speaker 3: Hi, Kaska, tell us what hath chanced today that Caesar
- 15:27Speaker 3: looks so.
- 15:28Speaker 10: Sad while you were with him?
- 15:30Speaker 6: When you not, I.
- 15:31Speaker 3: Should not then ask Kaska what had chanced?
- 15:34Speaker 10: Why there was a crown offered him, and being offered him,
- 15:38Speaker 10: he put it by with the back of his hand. Thus,
- 15:42Speaker 10: and then the people fellow.
- 15:45Speaker 3: Shouting what was the second noise?
- 15:48Speaker 10: For why for that too?
- 15:50Speaker 13: They shouted thrice? What was the last trifle?
- 15:54Speaker 6: Why?
- 15:54Speaker 10: For that too?
- 15:56Speaker 3: Was the crown offered him? Thrice?
- 15:59Speaker 10: I'm wast And he put it by thrice every time
- 16:04Speaker 10: gentler than other, and at every pudding by mine honest
- 16:08Speaker 10: neighbors shouted.
- 16:10Speaker 13: Who offered him the crown?
- 16:12Speaker 6: Why?
- 16:13Speaker 10: Anthony?
- 16:14Speaker 3: Tell us the manner of it, Gentle Claska, I can as.
- 16:18Speaker 10: Well be hanged as tell the manner of it. It
- 16:21Speaker 10: was mere foolery. I did not mark it. I saw
- 16:26Speaker 10: mark Antony offer him a crown. Yet twas not a
- 16:30Speaker 10: crown neither twas one of these coronets, And as I
- 16:36Speaker 10: told you, he put it by once, but for all that,
- 16:41Speaker 10: to my thinking, he would fain have had it. Then
- 16:44Speaker 10: he offered it to him again. Then he put it
- 16:47Speaker 10: by again, but to my thinking he was very loath
- 16:52Speaker 10: to lay his fingers off it. And then he offered
- 16:56Speaker 10: it the third time. He put it the third time by,
- 17:01Speaker 10: and still as he refused it, the rabbleman hooted and
- 17:05Speaker 10: clapped their chapped hands, and threw up their sweaty nightcaps,
- 17:10Speaker 10: and uttered such a deal of stinking breath because Caesar
- 17:13Speaker 10: refused the crown, that it had almost choked Caesar, for
- 17:18Speaker 10: he swooned it and fell down at it. And for
- 17:21Speaker 10: mine own part, I durst not laugh, for fear of
- 17:25Speaker 10: opening my lips and receiving the bad air.
- 17:28Speaker 13: But soft I'd pray. What did Caesar swooned?
- 17:33Speaker 10: He fell down in the marketplace and foamed at mouth,
- 17:36Speaker 10: and was speechless.
- 17:38Speaker 3: Kis very like he hath the falling sickness.
- 17:42Speaker 13: No, Caesar has not, but you and I, and honest Kaska,
- 17:47Speaker 13: we have the falling sickness.
- 17:49Speaker 10: I know not what you mean by that, but I
- 17:53Speaker 10: am sure Caesar fell down. If the tag rag. People
- 17:58Speaker 10: did not clap him and hiss him according as he pleased,
- 18:02Speaker 10: and displeased them, as they used to do the players
- 18:06Speaker 10: in the theater. I am no true man.
- 18:09Speaker 3: What said he when he came unto himself.
- 18:12Speaker 10: Mary, before he fell down, when he perceived the common
- 18:16Speaker 10: herd was glad he refused the crown. He plucked me
- 18:20Speaker 10: ope his doublet and offered them his throat to cut.
- 18:24Speaker 10: And I had been a man of any occupation, if
- 18:28Speaker 10: I would not have taken him at a word, I
- 18:30Speaker 10: would I might go to hell among the rogues. And
- 18:34Speaker 10: so he fell. When he came to himself again, he said,
- 18:39Speaker 10: if he had done or said anything amiss, he desired
- 18:43Speaker 10: their worships to think it was his infirmity. Three or
- 18:47Speaker 10: four wenches where I stood cried alas good soul, and
- 18:52Speaker 10: forgave him with all their hearts. But there's no heed
- 18:57Speaker 10: to be taken of them. If Caesar had stabbed their mother,
- 19:00Speaker 10: they would have done no less.
- 19:02Speaker 3: And after that he came thus sad away.
- 19:07Speaker 13: I did Cicero say anything, Ay, he spoke Greek, to
- 19:14Speaker 13: what effect?
- 19:16Speaker 10: Nn I tell you that I'll there look you in
- 19:18Speaker 10: the face again. But those that understood him smiled at
- 19:22Speaker 10: one another and shook their heads. But for mine own
- 19:25Speaker 10: part it was Greek.
- 19:26Speaker 11: To me.
- 19:28Speaker 10: I could tell you more news too. Moralus and Flavius
- 19:32Speaker 10: for pulling scarfs off Caesar's images are put to silence.
- 19:38Speaker 10: Fare you well, there was more foolery. Yet, if I
- 19:41Speaker 10: could remember.
- 19:42Speaker 13: It, Will you sup with me tonight? Kaska? No, I'm
- 19:45Speaker 13: promised forth, Will you dine with me tomorrow?
- 19:48Speaker 9: Ay?
- 19:48Speaker 10: If I be alive and your mind told and your
- 19:51Speaker 10: dinner worth.
- 19:52Speaker 13: Eating, could I will expect you do so?
- 19:56Speaker 10: Farewell?
- 19:57Speaker 1: Both exit?
- 19:59Speaker 3: What a blunt fellow is disgrown to be? He was
- 20:03Speaker 3: quick metal when he went to school.
- 20:06Speaker 13: So is he now an execution of any bold and
- 20:09Speaker 13: noble enterprise. However he puts on this tardy form. This
- 20:14Speaker 13: rudeness is a sauce to his good wit, which gives
- 20:17Speaker 13: men's stomach to digest his words with better appetite.
- 20:21Speaker 3: And so it is for this time. I will leave
- 20:25Speaker 3: you tomorrow. If you please to speak with me, I
- 20:29Speaker 3: will come home to you. Or if you will come
- 20:32Speaker 3: home to me and I will wait for you.
- 20:35Speaker 16: I will do so till then think of the world.
- 20:39Speaker 16: Accept brutus well, brutus, thou art noble yet I see
- 20:44Speaker 16: thy honorable metal may be wrought from that it is disposed.
- 20:49Speaker 16: Therefore it is a meat that noble minds keep ever
- 20:51Speaker 16: with their likes. For ho so firm that cannot be seduced.
- 20:56Speaker 16: Caesar doth bear me hard, but he loves Brutus. If
- 20:59Speaker 16: I brutus now and he were Cassius, he should not
- 21:02Speaker 16: humor me. I will this night in several hands in
- 21:06Speaker 16: his windows, throw as if they came from several citizens, writings,
- 21:10Speaker 16: all tending to the great opinion that Rome holds of
- 21:13Speaker 16: his name, wherein obscurely Caesar's ambitions shall be glanced at.
- 21:18Speaker 16: And after this, let Caesar seat him sure, for we
- 21:21Speaker 16: will shake him or worse days endure.
- 21:24Speaker 1: Exit Scene three the same a street, thunder and lightning
- 21:33Speaker 1: enter from opposite sides, Kaska with his sword drawn, and Cicero.
- 21:37Speaker 17: Good, Even Caska brought you, Caesar home. Why are you breathless?
- 21:42Speaker 17: And why stare you?
- 21:43Speaker 4: So?
- 21:43Speaker 10: Are you not moved when all the sway of earth
- 21:46Speaker 10: shakes like a thing unfirm? Oh, Cicero, I have seen
- 21:51Speaker 10: tempests when the scolding winds have arrived the naughty oakes,
- 21:56Speaker 10: and I have seen the ambitious ocean swell and rage
- 22:00Speaker 10: and foam to be exalted with the threatening clouds. But
- 22:04Speaker 10: never till tonight, never till now, did I go through
- 22:07Speaker 10: a tempest dropping fire. Either there is a civil strife
- 22:12Speaker 10: in heaven, or else the world too saucy with the gods,
- 22:16Speaker 10: and senses them to sad destruction.
- 22:19Speaker 17: Why saw you anything more wonderful?
- 22:22Speaker 10: A common slave? You know him well by sight held
- 22:26Speaker 10: up his left hand, which did flame and burn like
- 22:30Speaker 10: twenty torches joined, and yet his hand, not sensible of fire,
- 22:36Speaker 10: remained unscorched. Besides, I have not since put up my
- 22:41Speaker 10: sword against the capital. I met a lion who glared
- 22:47Speaker 10: upon me, and went surly by without annoying me. And
- 22:51Speaker 10: there were drawn upon a heap a hundred ghastly women,
- 22:55Speaker 10: transformed with their fear, who swore they saw men all
- 23:00Speaker 10: in fire, walk up and down the streets. And yesterday
- 23:05Speaker 10: the bird of night did sit even at noonday upon
- 23:08Speaker 10: the marketplace, hooting and shrieking. When these prodigies do so
- 23:14Speaker 10: conjointly meet, let not men say these are their reasons.
- 23:19Speaker 10: They are natural, For I believe they are portentous things
- 23:24Speaker 10: unto the climate that they point upon.
- 23:27Speaker 17: Indeed, it is a strange disposed time. But men may
- 23:31Speaker 17: construe things after their fashion, clean from the purpose of
- 23:35Speaker 17: the things themselves. Come Caesar to the capitol tomorrow.
- 23:39Speaker 10: He doth, for he did bid Antonius send word to
- 23:43Speaker 10: you he would be there tomorrow.
- 23:44Speaker 17: Good night, then, Kaska, this disturbed sky is not to
- 23:47Speaker 17: walk in.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Farewell, Cicero, Exit, Cicero, Enter Cassius.
- 23:53Speaker 13: Who is there a Roman? Caska? By your voice?
- 23:56Speaker 10: Your ear is good, Cassius?
- 23:59Speaker 9: What night?
- 24:00Speaker 10: Is this?
- 24:01Speaker 13: A very pleasing knight to honest men?
- 24:04Speaker 10: Who ever knew the heaven's menace?
- 24:07Speaker 13: So those that have known the earth so full of faults.
- 24:11Speaker 13: For my part, I have walked about the streets, submitting
- 24:14Speaker 13: me unto the perilous night, and thus umbraced Kaska, as
- 24:19Speaker 13: you see, have bared my bosom to the thunderstone. And
- 24:23Speaker 13: when the cross blue lightning seemed to open the breast
- 24:26Speaker 13: of heaven, I did present myself even in the aim
- 24:29Speaker 13: and very flash of it.
- 24:30Speaker 10: But wherefore did you so much tempt the heavens? It
- 24:34Speaker 10: is the part of men to fear and tremble when
- 24:37Speaker 10: the most mighty gods by token send such dreadful heralds
- 24:41Speaker 10: to astonish us.
- 24:43Speaker 13: You are dull Caska, and those sparks of life that
- 24:47Speaker 13: should be in a Roman you do want or else
- 24:50Speaker 13: you use. Not you look pale and gaze and put
- 24:53Speaker 13: on fear, and cast yourself in wonder to see the
- 24:56Speaker 13: strange impatience of the heavens. But if you would consider
- 24:59Speaker 13: the true cause, why all these fires, why all these
- 25:03Speaker 13: gliding ghosts, Why birds and beasts from quality and kind?
- 25:07Speaker 13: Why old men fool and children? Calculate why all these
- 25:10Speaker 13: things change from their ordinance, their natures and performed faculties
- 25:14Speaker 13: to monstrous quality. Why you shall find that heaven hath
- 25:18Speaker 13: infused them with these spirits, to make them instruments of
- 25:22Speaker 13: fear and warning unto some monstrous state. Now, could I
- 25:26Speaker 13: Kaska name to thee a man most like the dreadful
- 25:29Speaker 13: night that thunders, lightens, opens graves, and roars, as doth
- 25:34Speaker 13: the lion in the capitol, A man no mightier than
- 25:37Speaker 13: thyself or me in personal action, yet prodigious, grown and
- 25:42Speaker 13: fearful as these strange eruptions.
- 25:44Speaker 10: Are, tis Caesar that you mean? Is it not, Cassius?
- 25:47Speaker 13: Let it be who it is. For Romans now have
- 25:51Speaker 13: thews and limbs like to their ancestors. But woe the
- 25:55Speaker 13: while our father's minds are dead and we are governed
- 25:59Speaker 13: with our mothers spirits are you can sufferance show us
- 26:02Speaker 13: a womanish.
- 26:04Speaker 10: Indeed, they say, the senators tomorrow mean to establish Caesar
- 26:07Speaker 10: as a king, and he shall wear his crown by
- 26:11Speaker 10: sea and land in every place save here in Italy.
- 26:16Speaker 13: I know where I will wear this dagger. Then Cassius
- 26:20Speaker 13: from bondage will deliver Cassius. Therein, ye, Gods, you make
- 26:24Speaker 13: the weak most strong. Therein ye, God, you tyrants do defeat.
- 26:29Speaker 13: Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass, nor airless dungeon,
- 26:33Speaker 13: nor strong links of iron can be retentive to the
- 26:36Speaker 13: strength of spirit. But life, being weary of these worldly bars,
- 26:41Speaker 13: never lacks power to dismiss itself. If I know this,
- 26:45Speaker 13: know all the world besides that passive syranny that I
- 26:49Speaker 13: do bear, eye can shake off.
- 26:51Speaker 1: At pleasure thunder still so can I.
- 26:56Speaker 10: So every bondman in his own hand bears the power
- 26:59Speaker 10: to cancel his captivity.
- 27:01Speaker 13: And why should Caesar be a tyrant? Then, poor man,
- 27:06Speaker 13: I know he would not be a wolf, but that
- 27:07Speaker 13: he sees the Romans are but sheep. He were no
- 27:11Speaker 13: lion were not Romans Hinds, those that with haste will
- 27:15Speaker 13: make a mighty fire, begin it with weak straws. What
- 27:19Speaker 13: trash is Rome? What rubbish? And what awful? When it
- 27:23Speaker 13: serves for base matter to illuminate so vile a thing
- 27:26Speaker 13: as Caesar. But o grief, where hast thou led me?
- 27:31Speaker 13: I perhaps speak this before a willing bondman, Then I
- 27:35Speaker 13: know my answer must be made. But I am armed,
- 27:39Speaker 13: and dangers are to me indifferent.
- 27:41Speaker 10: You speak to Kaska, and to such a man that
- 27:44Speaker 10: is no fearing tell tale. Hold my hand, be factious
- 27:51Speaker 10: for redress of all these griefs, and I will set
- 27:55Speaker 10: this foot of mine as far as who goes farthest.
- 28:00Speaker 13: As a bargain made. Now know, Ukaskar, I have moved
- 28:03Speaker 13: already some certain of the noblest minded Romans to undergo
- 28:07Speaker 13: with me an enterprise of honorable, dangerous consequence. And I
- 28:11Speaker 13: do know by this they stay for me in Pompey's
- 28:14Speaker 13: porch for now, this fearful night, there is no stir
- 28:18Speaker 13: or walking in the streets, and the complexion of the
- 28:20Speaker 13: element in favors like the work we have in hand,
- 28:23Speaker 13: most bloody, fiery, and most terrible.
- 28:27Speaker 10: Stand close awhile, for here comes one in.
- 28:29Speaker 13: Haste tis sinner, I do know him by his gait.
- 28:33Speaker 13: He is a friend. Enter, sinner, sinner, where haste you so.
- 28:37Speaker 7: To find out you? Who's that metellus symbol?
- 28:41Speaker 13: No, it is kaskar one incorporate to our attempts? Am
- 28:45Speaker 13: I not stayed for? Sinner?
- 28:47Speaker 7: I am glad on it? What a fearful night is this?
- 28:50Speaker 7: There's two or three of us have seen strained sides?
- 28:53Speaker 13: Am I not stayed for?
- 28:55Speaker 7: Tell me, yes you are, oh Cassius, if you could
- 29:00Speaker 7: but win the noble Brutus to a party, be.
- 29:03Speaker 13: You content, good sinner? Take this paper and look you
- 29:07Speaker 13: lay it in the Praetor's chair where Brutus may but
- 29:09Speaker 13: find it, and throw this in his window. Set this
- 29:12Speaker 13: up with wax upon old Brutus's statue. All this done.
- 29:17Speaker 13: Repair to Pompey's porch, where you shall find us is Decius,
- 29:21Speaker 13: Brutus and Tribonius there.
- 29:22Speaker 7: All but metell a symbol, and he is gone to
- 29:25Speaker 7: seek you at your house. Well, I will hie, and
- 29:29Speaker 7: so bestow these papers as you obeyed me.
- 29:32Speaker 13: That done? Repair to Pompey's theater.
- 29:35Speaker 1: Exit Sinna come kaskar.
- 29:37Speaker 13: You and I will yet ere day see Brutus is
- 29:39Speaker 13: his house. Three parts of him is ours already, and
- 29:43Speaker 13: the man entire, upon the next encounter, yields him ours.
- 29:46Speaker 10: Oh, he sits high in all the people's hearts, and
- 29:49Speaker 10: that which would appear offense in us, his countenance, like
- 29:54Speaker 10: richest alchemy, will change to virtue and to worthiness.
- 29:59Speaker 13: Him And and our great need of him you have
- 30:02Speaker 13: right well conceited. Let us go, for it is after
- 30:05Speaker 13: midnight and a day we will awake him and be
- 30:08Speaker 13: sure of him accient.
- 30:11Speaker 1: End of Act one, Act two, Scene one, Rome Brutus
- 30:18Speaker 1: is orchard Enter Brutus.
- 30:21Speaker 3: What Lucius ho, I cannot, by the progress of the
- 30:28Speaker 3: stars give guests? How near today? Lucius? I say, I
- 30:35Speaker 3: would it were my fault to sleep so soundly? When Lucius,
- 30:41Speaker 3: when awake, I say, what? Lucius enter? Lucius called you,
- 30:47Speaker 3: my Lord, get me a taper in my study. Lucius,
- 30:51Speaker 3: when it is lighted, come and call me here, I Lord.
- 30:57Speaker 3: It must be by his death, And for my part
- 31:02Speaker 3: I know no personal cause to spurnet him, but for
- 31:06Speaker 3: the general he would be crowned. How that might change
- 31:11Speaker 3: his nature?
- 31:12Speaker 11: Theirs? The question?
- 31:14Speaker 3: It is the bright day that brings forth the adder,
- 31:18Speaker 3: and that craves wary walking crown him that, and then
- 31:25Speaker 3: I grant we put a sting in him, that at
- 31:29Speaker 3: his will he may do. Danger with the abuse of
- 31:33Speaker 3: greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power. And to
- 31:39Speaker 3: speak truth of Caesar, I have not known when his
- 31:42Speaker 3: affection swayed more than his reason. But tis a common
- 31:48Speaker 3: proof that lowliness is young ambitions ladder, where to the
- 31:53Speaker 3: climber upward turns his face, But when he once attains
- 31:58Speaker 3: the upmost round, he then, unto the latter, turns his back,
- 32:04Speaker 3: looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees by which
- 32:08Speaker 3: he did ascend. So Caesar may then, lest he may prevent.
- 32:19Speaker 3: And since the coral will bear no color for the
- 32:23Speaker 3: thing he is fashion it thus that what he is
- 32:28Speaker 3: augmented would run to these and these extremities. And therefore
- 32:35Speaker 3: think him as a serpent's egg which hatched, would as
- 32:40Speaker 3: his kind, grow mischievous and kill him in the shell.
- 32:46Speaker 4: Re Enter, Lucius, the taper burneth in your closet, sir.
- 32:50Speaker 4: Searching the window for a flint, I found this paper
- 32:53Speaker 4: thus sealed up, and I am sure it did not
- 32:55Speaker 4: lie there when I went to bed, gives him the letter.
- 32:58Speaker 3: Get you to bed again. It is not day, is
- 33:02Speaker 3: not tomorrow? Boy, the IDEs of March I know not, Sir,
- 33:06Speaker 3: Look in the calendar and bring me word.
- 33:10Speaker 4: I will, sir, accept.
- 33:13Speaker 3: The exhalations whizzing in the air, give so much like
- 33:17Speaker 3: that I may read by them.
- 33:19Speaker 1: Opens the letter and reads.
- 33:21Speaker 3: Brutus, thou sleep'st awake, and see thyself. Shall Rome et cetera? Speak,
- 33:31Speaker 3: strike redress? Brutus thou sleepest awake? Such instigations have been
- 33:41Speaker 3: often dropped where I have took them up. Shall Rome
- 33:46Speaker 3: et cetera? Thus I must piece it out? Shall Rome
- 33:52Speaker 3: stand under one man's awe? What Rome my ancestors did
- 33:58Speaker 3: from the streets of Rome the Tarquin drive when he
- 34:02Speaker 3: was called a king? Speak strike redress? Am I entreated
- 34:11Speaker 3: to speak and strike?
- 34:15Speaker 15: Oh Rome?
- 34:15Speaker 3: I make thee promise if the redress will follow, Thou
- 34:20Speaker 3: receivest thy full petition at the hand of Brutus.
- 34:25Speaker 4: Re enter Lucius, Sir, march is wasted fourteen days knocking
- 34:31Speaker 4: within tis good.
- 34:33Speaker 3: Go to the gate.
- 34:35Speaker 1: Somebody knocks, Accept Lucius.
- 34:39Speaker 3: Since Cassius first did wet me against Caesar, I have
- 34:43Speaker 3: not slept between the acting of a dreadful thing and
- 34:48Speaker 3: the first motion. All the interim is like a phantasma
- 34:53Speaker 3: or a hideous dream. The genius and the mortal instruments
- 34:59Speaker 3: are then council, and the state of man, like to
- 35:03Speaker 3: a little kingdom, suffers than the nature of an insurrection.
- 35:09Speaker 4: Re Enter, Lucius, Sir, tis your brother Cassius at the
- 35:13Speaker 4: door who doth desire to see you?
- 35:15Speaker 3: Is he alone?
- 35:17Speaker 4: No, sir, There are more with him.
- 35:19Speaker 3: Do you know them?
- 35:20Speaker 6: No, sir.
- 35:21Speaker 4: Their hats are plucked about their ears, and have their
- 35:23Speaker 4: faces buried in their cloaks, that by no means I
- 35:26Speaker 4: may discover them by any mark of favor.
- 35:28Speaker 1: Let him enter acit, Lucius.
- 35:31Speaker 3: They are the faction, Oh, conspiracy. Shamest thou to show
- 35:38Speaker 3: thy dangerous brow by night, when evils are most free.
- 35:44Speaker 3: Oh then by day, where wilt thou find the cavern
- 35:48Speaker 3: dark enough to mask thy monstrous visage, seek none conspiracy,
- 35:56Speaker 3: Hide it in smiles and affability. For if thou path
- 36:02Speaker 3: thy native semblance on not Erebus itself were dim enough
- 36:08Speaker 3: to hide thee from prevention.
- 36:11Speaker 1: Enter the conspirators, Cassius, Casca, Deseus, Brutus, Senna, Metellus Simber,
- 36:18Speaker 1: and Trebonius.
- 36:20Speaker 13: I think we are too bold upon your rest, good morrow, Brutus,
- 36:24Speaker 13: do we trouble you?
- 36:25Speaker 3: I have been up this hour a week all night.
- 36:29Speaker 3: Know I these men that come along with you.
- 36:32Speaker 13: Yes, every man of them, and no man here but
- 36:35Speaker 13: honors you, And everyone doth wish you had but that
- 36:38Speaker 13: opinion of yourself which every noble Roman bears of you.
- 36:42Speaker 13: This is Tribonius. He is welcome hither, this Deaseus, Brutus,
- 36:48Speaker 13: he is welcome too, This Casca, this Sinna, and this
- 36:52Speaker 13: Metellus Simba.
- 36:54Speaker 3: They are all welcome. What watchful cares do interpose themselves
- 37:00Speaker 3: betwixt your eyes and night?
- 37:03Speaker 1: Shall I entreat a word, Brutus and Cassius, whisper?
- 37:07Speaker 18: Here lies the east? Does not the day break here?
- 37:10Speaker 12: No?
- 37:11Speaker 7: Oh, pardon sir, it does. And young gray lines that
- 37:15Speaker 7: thread the clouds are messengers of day.
- 37:18Speaker 10: You shall confess that you are both deceived. Here, as
- 37:22Speaker 10: I point my sword, the cull arises, which is a
- 37:25Speaker 10: great way growing on the south, weighing the youthful season
- 37:29Speaker 10: of the year, some two months hence up higher toward
- 37:33Speaker 10: the north, he first presents his fire, and the high
- 37:38Speaker 10: East stands as the capital directly here.
- 37:42Speaker 3: Give me your hands all over, one by one.
- 37:47Speaker 13: And let us swear our resolution.
- 37:50Speaker 3: No, not an oath, if not the face of men,
- 37:55Speaker 3: the sufferance of our souls, the time's abuse. If if
- 38:00Speaker 3: these be motives weak, break off betimes, and every man
- 38:05Speaker 3: hence to his idle bed. So let high sighted tyranny
- 38:09Speaker 3: range on till each man drop by lottery. But if
- 38:15Speaker 3: these as I'm sure they do, bear fire enough to
- 38:20Speaker 3: kindle cowards and to steal with valor the melting spirits
- 38:26Speaker 3: of women, then, countrymen, what need we any spur but
- 38:31Speaker 3: our own cause to prick us to redress? What other
- 38:36Speaker 3: bond than secret romans that have spoken the word and
- 38:41Speaker 3: will not palter? And what other oath than honesty to
- 38:46Speaker 3: honesty engaged that this shall be, or we will fall
- 38:52Speaker 3: for it. Swear priests and cowards, and men cautillus, old
- 38:59Speaker 3: feeble carryings, and such suffering souls that welcome wrongs unto
- 39:06Speaker 3: bad causes. Swear such creatures as men doubt, but do
- 39:12Speaker 3: not stain the even virtue of our enterprise, nor the
- 39:17Speaker 3: insuppressive metal of our spirits, to think that of our
- 39:23Speaker 3: cause or our performance did need an oath, when every
- 39:30Speaker 3: drop of blood that every Roman bears and nobly bears,
- 39:36Speaker 3: is guilty of a several bestardy if he do break
- 39:41Speaker 3: the smallest particle of any promise that hath passed from him.
- 39:48Speaker 13: But what is Cicero? Shall we sound him? I think
- 39:51Speaker 13: he will stand very strong with us.
- 39:53Speaker 10: Let us not leave him out, No, by no means.
- 39:57Speaker 19: Oh, let us have him, for his silver hairs will
- 39:59Speaker 19: purchase us a good opinion, and by men's voices to
- 40:02Speaker 19: command our deeds. It shall be said, by his judgment,
- 40:06Speaker 19: ruled our hands, our youths, and wildness, shall no whit appear,
- 40:11Speaker 19: but all be buried in his gravity.
- 40:14Speaker 3: Oh, name him not, Let us not break with him,
- 40:18Speaker 3: for he will never follow anything that other men begin.
- 40:23Speaker 13: Then leave him out.
- 40:24Speaker 10: Indeed he is not fit.
- 40:27Speaker 18: Shall no man else be touched, but only Caesar.
- 40:30Speaker 13: Yeseus well urged. I think it is not meat marc Antony,
- 40:34Speaker 13: so well beloved of Caesar, should outlive Caesar. We shall
- 40:38Speaker 13: find of him a shrewd contriver. And you know his means.
- 40:41Speaker 13: If he improve them, may well stretch so far as
- 40:44Speaker 13: to annoy us all which to prevent. Let Antony and
- 40:48Speaker 13: Caesar fall together.
- 40:50Speaker 3: Our course will seem too bloody, Caius Cassius to cut
- 40:55Speaker 3: the head off in then hack the limbs like croth
- 40:59Speaker 3: and death and envy afterwards. For Antony is but a
- 41:04Speaker 3: limb of Caesar. Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers Caius.
- 41:10Speaker 3: We all stand up against the spirit of Caesar. And
- 41:14Speaker 3: in the spirit of men there is no blood. Oh
- 41:18Speaker 3: that we then could come by Caesar's spirit and not
- 41:23Speaker 3: dismember Caesar. But alas Caesar must bleed for it. And
- 41:29Speaker 3: gentle friends, let's kill him boldly, but not wrathfully. Let's
- 41:36Speaker 3: carve him as a dish fit for the gods, not
- 41:39Speaker 3: hew him as a carcass fit for hounds. And let
- 41:44Speaker 3: our hearts, as subtle masters do, stir up their servants
- 41:49Speaker 3: to an act of rage, and after seem to Chidam.
- 41:54Speaker 3: This shall make our purpose necessary and not envious, which
- 41:59Speaker 3: so appear. Carrying to the common eyes, we shall be
- 42:02Speaker 3: called perjures, not murderers. And for mark Antony, think not
- 42:10Speaker 3: of him, for he can do no more than Caesar's arm.
- 42:14Speaker 3: When Caesar's head is off.
- 42:17Speaker 13: Yet I fear him, for in the ingrafted love he
- 42:20Speaker 13: bears to Caesar.
- 42:21Speaker 3: Alas good Caius, do not think of him. If he
- 42:25Speaker 3: loves Caesar, all that he can do is to himself,
- 42:30Speaker 3: take thought and die for Caesar, And that were much
- 42:35Speaker 3: he should, for he is given to sports, to wildness,
- 42:39Speaker 3: and much company.
- 42:41Speaker 9: There is no.
- 42:42Speaker 15: Fear in him.
- 42:44Speaker 10: Let him not die, for he will live and laugh
- 42:48Speaker 10: at this.
- 42:49Speaker 1: Hereafter clock strikes, peace, count the clock.
- 42:54Speaker 13: The clock hath stricken. Three tis time to pot. But
- 42:59Speaker 13: it is doubt fliet whe the Caesar will come forth
- 43:01Speaker 13: today or no, for he is superstitious groan of late,
- 43:05Speaker 13: quite from the main opinion he held once, of fantasy,
- 43:08Speaker 13: of dreams and ceremonies. It may be these apparent prodigies,
- 43:14Speaker 13: the unaccustomed terror of this night, and the persuasion of
- 43:17Speaker 13: his auguras, may hold him from the capital today.
- 43:21Speaker 18: Never fear that, if he be so resolved, I cannot
- 43:24Speaker 18: sway him. For he loves to hear that unicorns may
- 43:27Speaker 18: be betrayed with trees, and bears with glasses, elephants with holes,
- 43:31Speaker 18: lions with toils, and men with flatterers. But when I
- 43:34Speaker 18: tell him he hates flatterers, he says he does, being
- 43:37Speaker 18: then most flattered. Let me work, for I can give
- 43:41Speaker 18: his humor, the true bent, and I will bring him
- 43:43Speaker 18: to the capital.
- 43:45Speaker 3: Nay, we will all of us be there to fetch
- 43:47Speaker 3: him by the eighth hour. Is that the uttermost?
- 43:51Speaker 7: Be that the uttermost, and feigner then.
- 43:54Speaker 19: SIUs Ligarius, doeth beer Caesar hard who rated him for
- 43:59Speaker 19: speaking well of Pompey. I wonder none of you have
- 44:02Speaker 19: thought of him now?
- 44:04Speaker 3: Good, but tell us go along by him. He loves
- 44:08Speaker 3: me well, and I have given him reasons. Send him
- 44:12Speaker 3: but hither, and I'll fashion him.
- 44:15Speaker 13: The morning comes upon us, we will leave you, Brutus
- 44:18Speaker 13: and friends, disperse yourselves, But all remember what you have said,
- 44:23Speaker 13: and show yourselves true Romans.
- 44:25Speaker 3: Good gentlemen, look fresh and merrily. Let not our looks
- 44:31Speaker 3: put on our purposes, but bear it as our Roman
- 44:35Speaker 3: actors do, with untired spirits and formal constancy. And so
- 44:42Speaker 3: good morrow to you.
- 44:43Speaker 1: Everyone, excient, all but Brutus.
- 44:47Speaker 3: Boy Lucius, fast asleep. It is no matter enjoy the
- 44:56Speaker 3: honey heavy dew of slumber. Thou hast no figures nor
- 45:01Speaker 3: no fantasies, which busy care draws in the brains of men.
- 45:07Speaker 3: Therefore thou sleep'st so sound.
- 45:12Speaker 5: Enter Porsche, Brutus, my Lord Porsche, what mean you?
- 45:19Speaker 20: Wherefore?
- 45:19Speaker 11: Rise you?
- 45:20Speaker 15: Now?
- 45:21Speaker 3: It is not for your health thus to commit your
- 45:24Speaker 3: weak condition to the raw cold morning.
- 45:28Speaker 21: Nor for yours neither you've ungently Brutus stole from my bed,
- 45:34Speaker 21: and yesternight at supper you suddenly arose and walked about,
- 45:39Speaker 21: musing and sighing, with your arms across. And when I
- 45:43Speaker 21: asked you what the matter was, you stared upon me
- 45:46Speaker 21: with ungentle looks. I urged you further. Then you scratched
- 45:51Speaker 21: your head, and too impatiently stamped with your foot. Yet
- 45:56Speaker 21: I insisted, Yet you answer not, but with an angry
- 46:00Speaker 21: wafter of your hand gave sign for me to leave you.
- 46:03Speaker 21: So I did, fearing to strengthen that impatience, which seemed
- 46:08Speaker 21: too much enkindled, and withal hoping it was but an
- 46:12Speaker 21: effect of humor, which sometime hath his hour with every man.
- 46:18Speaker 21: It will not let you eat, nor talk, nor sleep.
- 46:22Speaker 21: And could it work so much upon your shape as
- 46:25Speaker 21: it hath much prevailed on your condition. I should not
- 46:28Speaker 21: know you, Brutus, dear my lord, make me acquainted with
- 46:33Speaker 21: your cause of grief.
- 46:35Speaker 3: I am not well in health, and that.
- 46:39Speaker 21: Is all Brutus is wise and were he not in health,
- 46:44Speaker 21: he would embrace the means to come by it.
- 46:47Speaker 3: Why so I do good, Portia go to bed?
- 46:53Speaker 21: Is Brutus sick? And is it physical to walk umbraced
- 46:58Speaker 21: and suck up the humors of the day mourning? What
- 47:02Speaker 21: is brutus sick? And will he steal out of his
- 47:04Speaker 21: wholesome bed to dare the vile contagion of the night
- 47:09Speaker 21: and tempt the roomy and unpurged air to add unto
- 47:12Speaker 21: his sickness. No, my brutus, you have some sick offense
- 47:17Speaker 21: within your mind, which, by the right and virtue of
- 47:21Speaker 21: my place I ought to know of. And upon my
- 47:24Speaker 21: knees I charm you by my once commended beauty, by
- 47:28Speaker 21: all your vows of love, and that great vow which
- 47:32Speaker 21: did incorporate and make us one, that you unfold to
- 47:36Speaker 21: me yourself your half? Why you are heavy? And what
- 47:41Speaker 21: men tonight have had to resort to you? For here
- 47:45Speaker 21: have been some six or seven who did hide their
- 47:47Speaker 21: faces even from darkness.
- 47:51Speaker 3: Neil, not, gentle Portia.
- 47:54Speaker 21: I should not need if you were gentle Brudus, within
- 47:57Speaker 21: the bond of marriage. Tell me, brute, is it expected
- 48:01Speaker 21: I should know no secrets that appertain to you. Am
- 48:05Speaker 21: I yourself, but as it were, in sort or limitation,
- 48:10Speaker 21: to keep with you at meals, comfort your bed, and
- 48:13Speaker 21: talk to you sometimes dwell I butt in the suburbs
- 48:16Speaker 21: of your good pleasure. If it be no more, Portia
- 48:20Speaker 21: is Brutus's harlot, not his wife.
- 48:23Speaker 3: You are my true and honorable wife, as dear to me,
- 48:30Speaker 3: as are the ruddy drops that visit my sad heart.
- 48:34Speaker 21: If this were true, then should I know this secret?
- 48:38Speaker 21: I grant I am a woman, but withal, a woman
- 48:41Speaker 21: that Lord Brutus took to wife. I grant I am
- 48:44Speaker 21: a woman, but withal, a woman well reputed Cato's daughter.
- 48:49Speaker 21: Think you I am no stronger than my sex, being
- 48:52Speaker 21: so fathered and so husbanded. Tell me your counsels. I
- 48:56Speaker 21: will not disclose them. I have made strong proof of
- 48:59Speaker 21: my constant and see giving myself a voluntary wound here
- 49:03Speaker 21: in the thigh. Can I bear that with patience and
- 49:07Speaker 21: not my husband's secrets?
- 49:09Speaker 11: Oh?
- 49:09Speaker 3: Ye, Gods, render me worthy of this noble wife.
- 49:15Speaker 1: Knocking within, hark hark.
- 49:18Speaker 3: One knocks, Porsia. Go in a while, and by and
- 49:22Speaker 3: by thy Bosom shall partake the secrets of my heart,
- 49:27Speaker 3: all my engagements. I will construe to thee all the
- 49:32Speaker 3: charactery of my sad brows. Leave me with haste. Excep
- 49:39Speaker 3: porscha Lucius, who's that knox?
- 49:44Speaker 1: Re enter Lucius with Lagarius.
- 49:47Speaker 4: He is a sick man that would speak with you.
- 49:50Speaker 3: Caius Lagarius, that Mattellus speak of boy, stand aside, Caius Lagarius,
- 49:57Speaker 3: How fall.
- 49:59Speaker 22: Your goodmorrow from a feeble tongue?
- 50:02Speaker 3: Oh what a time you have chose out, brave Caius,
- 50:05Speaker 3: to wear a kerchief. Would you were not sick?
- 50:10Speaker 22: I'm not sick. It brought us, having hand any exploit
- 50:13Speaker 22: toward it the name of honor.
- 50:15Speaker 3: Such an exploit I have in hand, Lagarious, had you
- 50:20Speaker 3: a healthful ear to hear of it?
- 50:22Speaker 22: While the gods de Roman's bow before I had described
- 50:25Speaker 22: my sickness, soul la room braves under vulnerable loins, tholl
- 50:30Speaker 22: like an exources t has contigued up my modified spirit.
- 50:34Speaker 22: Now bid me run an elstriper thinks impossible? Yeah, get
- 50:38Speaker 22: the better of them.
- 50:40Speaker 3: What is to do a piece of work that will
- 50:43Speaker 3: make sick men hole?
- 50:45Speaker 22: But are not some hole that we must mix it?
- 50:49Speaker 3: That must be also?
- 50:53Speaker 6: What it is?
- 50:53Speaker 3: My Caius, I shall unfold to thee as we are
- 50:57Speaker 3: going to whom it must begun.
- 51:01Speaker 22: Set on your foot, danity, hot new fired. I follow
- 51:04Speaker 22: you to do I know not what, but it's sufficient
- 51:08Speaker 22: that Brutus leads me on.
- 51:10Speaker 6: Follow me.
- 51:11Speaker 1: Then accent scene too Caesar's house, thunder and lightning. Enter
- 51:21Speaker 1: Caesar in his nightgown.
- 51:23Speaker 11: Nor heaven nor earth have been at peace to night.
- 51:26Speaker 11: Thrice hath Calpurnia, in her sleep cried out, helpo they
- 51:31Speaker 11: murder Caesar? Who's within?
- 51:35Speaker 1: Enter a servant, my Lord, go bid.
- 51:38Speaker 11: The priests do present sacrifice and bring me their opinions
- 51:42Speaker 11: of success.
- 51:43Speaker 23: I will, my.
- 51:44Speaker 1: Lord exit, Enter Calpurnia.
- 51:47Speaker 24: What mean you, Caesar think you to walk forth? You
- 51:52Speaker 24: shall not stir out of your house.
- 51:54Speaker 11: To day Caesar shall forth. The things that threatened me
- 51:58Speaker 11: now looked, but on my back. When they shall see
- 52:02Speaker 11: the face of Caesar, they are vanish'd.
- 52:05Speaker 24: Caesar, I never stood on ceremonies, yet now they frighten me.
- 52:12Speaker 24: There is one within besides the things that we have
- 52:15Speaker 24: heard and seen, recounts most horrid sights seen by the watch.
- 52:20Speaker 24: A lioness hath whelp'd in the streets and graves have
- 52:23Speaker 24: yawned and yielded up their dead. Fierce, fiery warriors fought
- 52:29Speaker 24: upon the clouds, in ranks and squadrons, and right form
- 52:32Speaker 24: of war, which drizzled blood upon the capital. The noise
- 52:37Speaker 24: of battle hurtled in the air. Horses did neigh, and
- 52:40Speaker 24: dying men did groan, and ghosts did shriek and squeal
- 52:45Speaker 24: about the streets. Oh Caesar, these things are beyond all use,
- 52:51Speaker 24: and I do fear them.
- 52:53Speaker 11: What can be avoided whose end is purposed by the
- 52:56Speaker 11: mighty gods. Yet Caesar shall go forth, For these predictions
- 53:01Speaker 11: are to the world in general, as to Caesar.
- 53:04Speaker 24: When beggars die, there are no comets seen. The heavens
- 53:09Speaker 24: themselves blaze forth the death of princes.
- 53:12Speaker 11: Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never
- 53:17Speaker 11: taste of death. But once. Of all the wonders that
- 53:21Speaker 11: I yet have heard, it seems to me the most
- 53:23Speaker 11: strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary
- 53:27Speaker 11: end will come. When it will.
- 53:28Speaker 1: Come, re enter servant, What.
- 53:32Speaker 11: Say the augurers?
- 53:34Speaker 23: They would not have you stir forth to day plucking
- 53:37Speaker 23: the entrails of an offering. Forth they could not find
- 53:40Speaker 23: a heart within the beast.
- 53:42Speaker 11: The gods do this in shame of cowardice. Caesar should
- 53:46Speaker 11: be a beast without a heart if he should stay
- 53:48Speaker 11: at home to day for fear. No Caesar shall not
- 53:52Speaker 11: danger knows full well that Caesar is more dangerous than he.
- 53:57Speaker 11: We are two lions littered in one day, and I
- 54:00Speaker 11: the elder and more terrible. And Caesar shall go forth
- 54:05Speaker 11: alas my.
- 54:06Speaker 24: Lord, your wisdom is consumed in confidence.
- 54:11Speaker 7: Do not go forth to day.
- 54:13Speaker 24: Call it my fear that keeps you in the house,
- 54:15Speaker 24: and not your own. Will send mark Antony to the
- 54:18Speaker 24: Senate House, and he shall say you are not well
- 54:21Speaker 24: to day. Let me upon my knee prevail in.
- 54:25Speaker 11: This mark Antony shall say, I am not well, and
- 54:29Speaker 11: for thy humor, I will stay at home.
- 54:32Speaker 1: Enter deseus brutus.
- 54:34Speaker 11: Here is deseus brutus. He shall tell them so.
- 54:38Speaker 18: Caesar, all hail, good morrow worthy Caesar, I come to
- 54:41Speaker 18: fetch you to the Senate House.
- 54:43Speaker 11: And you are come in very happy time to bear
- 54:46Speaker 11: my greeting to the senators, and tell them that I
- 54:48Speaker 11: will not come to day. Cannot is false, and that
- 54:51Speaker 11: I dare not false her I will not come to day.
- 54:55Speaker 11: Tell them so deseus, say he is sick. Shall Caesar
- 54:59Speaker 11: send a lie? Have I in conquest stretched mine arms
- 55:03Speaker 11: so far to be afraid to tell graybeards the truth?
- 55:07Speaker 11: Deseus go tell them. Caesar will not come.
- 55:11Speaker 18: Most Mighty Caesar, let me know some cause, lest I
- 55:15Speaker 18: be laughed at when I tell them so.
- 55:17Speaker 11: The cause is in my will. I will not come.
- 55:21Speaker 11: That is enough to satisfy the Senate. But for your
- 55:24Speaker 11: private satisfaction, because I love you, I will let you know. Calpurnia,
- 55:29Speaker 11: here my wife stays me at home. She dreamt to
- 55:32Speaker 11: night she saw my statue, which, like a fountain with
- 55:35Speaker 11: an hundred spouts, did run pure blood, and many lusty
- 55:39Speaker 11: Romans came smiling and did bathe their hands in it.
- 55:43Speaker 11: And these does she apply for warnings and portents and
- 55:46Speaker 11: evils imminent. And on her knee hath begged that I
- 55:50Speaker 11: will stay at home to day.
- 55:52Speaker 18: This dream is all a misinterpreted It was a vision,
- 55:55Speaker 18: fair and fortunate. Your statue spouting blood in many pipes,
- 55:59Speaker 18: in which so many smiling Romans bathed, signifies that from you,
- 56:03Speaker 18: great Rome shall suck reviving blood, and that great men
- 56:06Speaker 18: shall press for tinctures, stains, relics, and cognizance. This, by
- 56:11Speaker 18: Calpernia's dream is signified.
- 56:13Speaker 11: And this way have you well expounded it I have.
- 56:16Speaker 18: When you have heard what I can say and know it.
- 56:18Speaker 18: Now the Senate have concluded to give this day a
- 56:21Speaker 18: crown to mighty Caesar. If you shall send them word
- 56:25Speaker 18: you will not come. Their minds may change. Besides, it
- 56:29Speaker 18: were a mock apt to be rendered for someone to say,
- 56:32Speaker 18: break up the Senate till another time when Caesar's wife
- 56:34Speaker 18: shall meet with better dreams. If Caesar hide himself, shall
- 56:38Speaker 18: they not? Whisper Lo Caesar is afraid. Pardon me, Caesar,
- 56:42Speaker 18: for my dear, dear love to our proceeding bids me
- 56:45Speaker 18: tell you this, and reason to my love is liable.
- 56:48Speaker 11: How foolish do your fears seem?
- 56:49Speaker 15: Now?
- 56:50Speaker 11: Calpernia, I am ashamed. I did yield to them. Give
- 56:53Speaker 11: me my robe, for I will go.
- 56:55Speaker 1: Enter Publius, Brutus, Lagarius, Metellus, Kaska, Trebonius, and Sinna.
- 57:02Speaker 11: And look where Publius is come to fetch me.
- 57:04Speaker 25: Good morrow, Caesar.
- 57:06Speaker 11: Welcome Publius. What Brutus are you stirred so early? Too?
- 57:11Speaker 11: Good morrow? Kaska Caius Lagarius. Caesar was ne'er so much
- 57:16Speaker 11: your enemy as that same agu which hath made you lean.
- 57:20Speaker 11: What is't o'clock, Caesar tis strucken eight. I thank you
- 57:26Speaker 11: for your pains and courtesy.
- 57:28Speaker 1: Enter Antony.
- 57:30Speaker 11: See Antony that revels long o' nights is notwithstanding up
- 57:36Speaker 11: good morrow, Antony.
- 57:37Speaker 12: So to most noble Caesar bid.
- 57:39Speaker 11: Them prepare within. I am to blame to be thus
- 57:43Speaker 11: waited for now Sinna. Now, Metellus, what Tribonius, I have
- 57:48Speaker 11: an hour's talk in store for you? Remember that you
- 57:51Speaker 11: call on me to day be near me that I
- 57:53Speaker 11: may remember you.
- 57:55Speaker 1: Caesar, I will aside, and so ne'er will I.
- 58:00Speaker 23: Be, that your best friends shall wish I had been further.
- 58:05Speaker 11: Good friends, go in and taste some wine with me,
- 58:08Speaker 11: and we, like friends, will straightway go together.
- 58:11Speaker 3: Aside that every like is not the same, Oh Caesar.
- 58:18Speaker 3: The heart of Brutus yearns to think.
- 58:21Speaker 1: Upon accient scene three a street near the capitol. Enter
- 58:30Speaker 1: Artemidorus reading a paper.
- 58:33Speaker 26: Caesar, beware of Brutus, take heed of Cassius. Come not
- 58:38Speaker 26: near Keska, have an eye to Sinna. Trust not Trebonius.
- 58:43Speaker 26: Mark will metalus simba disused. Brutus loves thee not thou
- 58:48Speaker 26: hast wronged Caius Ligarius. There is but one mind in
- 58:52Speaker 26: all these men, and it is bent against Caesar. If
- 58:56Speaker 26: thou beest not immortal, look about you. Security gives way
- 59:01Speaker 26: to conspiracy. The mighty gods defend THEE, thy lover. Out
- 59:06Speaker 26: of my drus he will I stand till Caesar pass along?
- 59:11Speaker 26: And as a suitor, will I give him this mahat
- 59:14Speaker 26: La means that virtue cannot live out of the teeth
- 59:17Speaker 26: of emulation. If thou read this, O Caesa, thou mayst live.
- 59:22Speaker 26: If not, the fates with traitors do contrive.
- 59:26Speaker 1: Except scene for another part of the same street, before
- 59:33Speaker 1: the house of Brutus. Enter Portia and Lucius I.
- 59:38Speaker 21: Prithee boy, run to the Senate house. Stay not to
- 59:42Speaker 21: answer me, but get THEE gone? Why dost thou stay
- 59:47Speaker 21: to know?
- 59:47Speaker 4: My errand Madam I would.
- 59:49Speaker 21: Have had THEE there and here again ere I can
- 59:52Speaker 21: tell THEE what thou shouldst do there? O constancy, be
- 59:56Speaker 21: strong upon my side, set a huge mountain between my
- 59:59Speaker 21: heart and tongue. I have a man's mind, but a
- 1:00:02Speaker 21: woman's might. How hard it is for woman to keep
- 1:00:05Speaker 21: counsel Art thou here?
- 1:00:07Speaker 4: Yet, Madam what should I do? Run to the capital
- 1:00:10Speaker 4: and nothing else, and so return to you and nothing else.
- 1:00:13Speaker 21: Yes, bring me word, boy, if thy lord look well,
- 1:00:17Speaker 21: for he went sickly forth, and take good note what
- 1:00:21Speaker 21: Caesar doth what suitors pressed to him?
- 1:00:25Speaker 5: Hark, boy, what noise is that I hear?
- 1:00:28Speaker 4: None?
- 1:00:29Speaker 6: Madam?
- 1:00:29Speaker 21: Prithee, listen well, I heard a bustling rumor like a fray,
- 1:00:35Speaker 21: and the wind brings it from the capital.
- 1:00:37Speaker 4: Sooth Madam, I hear nothing, enter the soothsayer.
- 1:00:41Speaker 21: Come hither, fellow. Which way hast thou been.
- 1:00:45Speaker 14: At mine own house?
- 1:00:46Speaker 1: Good lady?
- 1:00:47Speaker 14: What ist o'clock about the ninth hour?
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: Lady?
- 1:00:51Speaker 21: Is Caesar yet gone to the capital?
- 1:00:54Speaker 7: Madam?
- 1:00:55Speaker 14: Not yet? I go to take my stand to see
- 1:00:57Speaker 14: him pass on to the capital.
- 1:01:00Speaker 21: Thou hast some suit to Caesar? Hast thou not.
- 1:01:03Speaker 10: That I have?
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: Lady?
- 1:01:05Speaker 14: If it will please Caesar to be so good to
- 1:01:07Speaker 14: Caesar as to hear me, I shall beseech him to
- 1:01:10Speaker 14: befriend himself.
- 1:01:11Speaker 21: Why know'st thou any harms intended toward him?
- 1:01:15Speaker 14: None that I know? Will be much that I fear
- 1:01:17Speaker 14: may chance good morrow to you. Here the street is narrow,
- 1:01:22Speaker 14: the throng that follows Caesar at the heels of senators
- 1:01:26Speaker 14: of Praetar's common suitors will crowd a feeble man almost
- 1:01:31Speaker 14: to death. I'll get me to a place more void,
- 1:01:34Speaker 14: and dare speak to Great Caesar as he comes along, except.
- 1:01:39Speaker 21: I must go in a me. How weak a thing
- 1:01:42Speaker 21: the heart of woman is, Oh, Brutus, the heavens speed
- 1:01:46Speaker 21: thee in thine enterprise. Sure the boy heard me, Brutus
- 1:01:50Speaker 21: hath a suit that Caesar will not grant. Oh, I
- 1:01:53Speaker 21: grow faint, Run Lucius and commend me to my lord.
- 1:01:56Speaker 21: Say I am Mary, Come to me again and bring
- 1:01:59Speaker 21: me word what he does say.
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: To thee Exi and severally. End of Act two, Act three,

- 1:02:30Speaker 1: and others.
- 1:02:32Speaker 11: To the soothsayer, the IDEs of march are come.
- 1:02:36Speaker 14: Aye, Caesar, but not gone.
- 1:02:39Speaker 26: Hail Caesar. Read the schedule.
- 1:02:42Speaker 18: Tribonius doth desire you to all read at your best leisure.
- 1:02:45Speaker 18: This his humble suit.
- 1:02:47Speaker 26: Oh, Caesar, read mine first? Who minds a suit that
- 1:02:50Speaker 26: touches Caesar? Neer read it?
- 1:02:53Speaker 11: Greet Caesar, what touches us? Ourself shall be last served?
- 1:02:57Speaker 26: Delay not Caesar? Read instantly?
- 1:03:01Speaker 11: What is the fellow? Mag Sira?
- 1:03:04Speaker 25: Give place?
- 1:03:05Speaker 13: What urge your petitions in the street? Come to the capitol.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: Caesar goes up to the Senate House. The rest following.
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: I wish your enterprise today may thrive?
- 1:03:15Speaker 13: What enterprise?
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: Popilius fare you well, advances to Caesar.
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: What said Popilius Lina?
- 1:03:23Speaker 13: He wished today our enterprise might thrive. I fear our
- 1:03:26Speaker 13: purpose is discovered.
- 1:03:28Speaker 3: Look how he makes to Caesar mark.
- 1:03:31Speaker 13: Him Kaska be sudden, for we fear prevention, brutus, What
- 1:03:35Speaker 13: should be done? If this be known? Cassius or Caesar
- 1:03:38Speaker 13: never shall turn back, for I will slay myself.
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: Cassius be constant. Papilius Lina speaks not of our purposes.
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: For look he smiles, and Caesar doth not change.
- 1:03:51Speaker 13: Tribonius knows his time, for look you, brutus. He draws
- 1:03:54Speaker 13: marc Antony out of the way.
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: Exi and Antony and Trebonius.
- 1:03:58Speaker 18: Where is metellusm Let him go, and presently prefer his
- 1:04:02Speaker 18: suit to Caesar.
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: He is addressed, press near and second him.
- 1:04:08Speaker 7: Causka, you are the first that rear as your hand.
- 1:04:12Speaker 11: Are we all ready? What is now amiss that Caesar
- 1:04:16Speaker 11: and his senate must redress.
- 1:04:19Speaker 19: Most high, most mighty, and most puscient Caesar, Mattil's climber
- 1:04:24Speaker 19: throws before thy seat, an humble heart kneeling.
- 1:04:28Speaker 11: I must prevent thee simber these couchings and these lowly
- 1:04:32Speaker 11: courtesies might fire the blood of ordinary men and turn
- 1:04:36Speaker 11: preordinance and first Decree into the law of children. Be
- 1:04:40Speaker 11: not fond to think that Caesar bears such rebel blood
- 1:04:43Speaker 11: that will be thawed from the true quality with that
- 1:04:46Speaker 11: which melteth fools. I mean sweet words, low crooked curtsies
- 1:04:51Speaker 11: and base spaniel fawning Thy brother by decree is banished.
- 1:04:56Speaker 11: If thou dost bend and pray and fawn for him,
- 1:05:00Speaker 11: I spurn thee like a cur out of my way.
- 1:05:03Speaker 11: No Caesar doth not wrong, nor without cause will he
- 1:05:07Speaker 11: be satisfied.
- 1:05:09Speaker 19: Is there no voice more worthy than my own to
- 1:05:11Speaker 19: sound more sweetly in great Caesar's ear? For the repealing
- 1:05:15Speaker 19: of my bandish brother.
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: I kiss thy hand, but not in flattery, Caesar, desiring
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: thee that Publius Smber may have an immediate freedom of repeal.
- 1:05:28Speaker 13: What brutus pardon Caesar? Caesar, pardon as those to thy
- 1:05:33Speaker 13: foot do Cathy's fall to beg enfranchisement for Publius Simba.
- 1:05:37Speaker 11: I could be well moved if I were as you,
- 1:05:40Speaker 11: If I could pray to move, prayers would move me.
- 1:05:43Speaker 11: But I am constant, as the northern star, of whose
- 1:05:47Speaker 11: true fixed and resting quality. There is no fellow in
- 1:05:49Speaker 11: the firmament. The skies are painted with unnumbered sparks. They
- 1:05:54Speaker 11: are all fire, and every one doth shine. But there's
- 1:05:57Speaker 11: but one in all doth hold his place. So in
- 1:06:01Speaker 11: the world tis furnished well with men, and men are
- 1:06:05Speaker 11: flesh and blood and apprehensive. Yet in the number I
- 1:06:09Speaker 11: do know but one that unassailable, holes on his rank,
- 1:06:13Speaker 11: unshaked of motion, and that I am. He let me
- 1:06:16Speaker 11: a little show it even in this that I was
- 1:06:19Speaker 11: constant Simber should be banished, and constant do remain to
- 1:06:24Speaker 11: keep him?
- 1:06:24Speaker 27: So?
- 1:06:25Speaker 11: Oh Caesar, Hence wilt thou lift up Olympus, Great Jesus
- 1:06:30Speaker 11: doth not Brutus bookless Neil speak cabs.
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: For me Kaska first, then the other conspirators, and Brutus
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: stab Caesar it.
- 1:06:41Speaker 11: Two brute then fall Caesar dies.
- 1:06:48Speaker 7: Liberty, freedom, tywanny is dead. Run hence proclaim, cry it
- 1:06:55Speaker 7: about the streets.
- 1:06:57Speaker 13: Some to the common pulpits, and try out liberty, freedom,
- 1:06:59Speaker 13: and enfranchisement.
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: People and senators be not affrighted, fly not stand stiff.
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: Ambition's debt is paid.
- 1:07:10Speaker 10: Go to the pulpit.
- 1:07:11Speaker 18: Brutus and Cassius too.
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: Where is Publius here?
- 1:07:16Speaker 7: Quite confounded with this mutiny.
- 1:07:19Speaker 19: Stand fast together, lest some friend of Caesar's should chance not.
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: Of standing Publius, good cheer. There is no harm intended
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: to your person, nor to no Roman else. So tell them, Publius.
- 1:07:34Speaker 13: And leave us Publius, lest that the people rushing on
- 1:07:36Speaker 13: should do your age so mischief, do.
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: So, and let no man abide this deed.
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: But we the doers re enter Trebonius.
- 1:07:48Speaker 13: Where is Antony fled to his house?
- 1:07:51Speaker 11: Amazed?
- 1:07:52Speaker 19: Men, wives and children stare cry out and run, as
- 1:07:57Speaker 19: it would doomsday fates.
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: We will know your pleasures that we shall die. We
- 1:08:04Speaker 3: know 'tis but the time and drawing days out that
- 1:08:09Speaker 3: men stand upon.
- 1:08:11Speaker 13: Why he that cuts off twenty years of life cuts
- 1:08:13Speaker 13: off so many years of fearing death?
- 1:08:16Speaker 3: Grant that? And then is death a benefit? So are
- 1:08:21Speaker 3: we Caesar's friends that have abridged his time of fearing death?
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: Stoop Romans, stoop, and let us bathe our hands in
- 1:08:31Speaker 3: Caesar's blood up to the elbows, and besmear our swords.
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: Then walk we forth even to the market place, and
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: waving our red weapons or our heads, let's all cry peace,
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: freedom and liberty.
- 1:08:50Speaker 13: Stoop them and wash How many ages? Hence shall this
- 1:08:53Speaker 13: are lofty scene be acted over in states unborn and
- 1:08:56Speaker 13: accents yet unknown?
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: How many times shall Caesar bleed in sport that now
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: on Pompey's basis lies along no worthier than the dust?
- 1:09:09Speaker 13: So oft as that shall be? So often shall the
- 1:09:11Speaker 13: naught of us be called the men that gave their
- 1:09:13Speaker 13: country liberty?
- 1:09:14Speaker 18: What shall we force.
- 1:09:16Speaker 13: Aye every man away? Brutus shall lead, and we will
- 1:09:19Speaker 13: grace his heels with the most boldest and best hearts
- 1:09:22Speaker 13: of Rome.
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: Enter a servant soft who comes here, a friend of Antony's.
- 1:09:29Speaker 23: Thus Brutus, did my master bid me kneel? Thus did
- 1:09:33Speaker 23: Marc Antony bid me fall down and being prostrate. Thus
- 1:09:37Speaker 23: he bade me, say, Brutus is noble, wise, valiant, and honest.
- 1:09:42Speaker 23: Caesar was mighty, bold, royal, and loving. Say I love Brutus,
- 1:09:47Speaker 23: and I honor him. Say I feared Caesar, honored him
- 1:09:50Speaker 23: and loved him. If Brutus will vouchsafe that Antony may
- 1:09:55Speaker 23: safely come to him and be resolved, how Caesar hath
- 1:09:58Speaker 23: deserved to lie in death. Marc Antony shall not love
- 1:10:01Speaker 23: Caesar dead so well as Brutus living, but will follow
- 1:10:04Speaker 23: the fortunes and affairs of noble Brutus through the hazards
- 1:10:07Speaker 23: of this untrod state with all true faith, So says
- 1:10:11Speaker 23: my master Antony.
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: Thy master is a wise and valiant Roman. I never
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: thought him worse. Tell him, so, pleads him, come unto
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: this place. He shall be satisfied, and by my honor
- 1:10:26Speaker 3: depart untouched.
- 1:10:28Speaker 23: I'll fetch him presently, except.
- 1:10:31Speaker 3: I know that we shall have him well to friend.
- 1:10:35Speaker 13: I wish we may, But yet I have a mind
- 1:10:37Speaker 13: that fears him much, and my misgiving still falls shrewdly
- 1:10:40Speaker 13: to the purpose.
- 1:10:41Speaker 3: Ah, but here comes Antony.
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: Re enter Antony.
- 1:10:46Speaker 12: Welcome, Marc Antony o mighty Caesar, dost thou lie so
- 1:10:51Speaker 12: low are all thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils shrunk to
- 1:10:56Speaker 12: this little measure fare thee Well, I know not, gentlemen,
- 1:11:01Speaker 12: what you intend. Who else must be let blood? Who
- 1:11:05Speaker 12: else's rank? If I myself, there is no hour so
- 1:11:09Speaker 12: fit as Caesar's death hour, nor no instrument of half
- 1:11:12Speaker 12: that worth as those your swords made rich with the
- 1:11:16Speaker 12: most noble blood of all this world. I do beseech ye,
- 1:11:20Speaker 12: if you bear me hard now, whilst your purpled hands
- 1:11:23Speaker 12: do wreak and smoke, fulfill your pleasure, live a thousand years.
- 1:11:28Speaker 12: I shall not find myself so apt to die. No
- 1:11:32Speaker 12: place will please me so no mean of death as
- 1:11:35Speaker 12: here by Caesar and by you cut off the choice
- 1:11:39Speaker 12: and master spirits of this age.
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: Oh Antony, beg not your death of us, though now
- 1:11:45Speaker 3: we must appear bloody and cruel, as by our hands,
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: and this our present act. You see we do yet
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: see you, but our hands, and this the bleeding business
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: they have done. Our hearts you see not they are
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: pitiful and pity to the general wrong of Rome. As
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: fire drives out fire, so pity pity hath done this
- 1:12:14Speaker 3: deed on Caesar for your part to you.
- 1:12:19Speaker 20: Our swords have.
- 1:12:20Speaker 3: Leaden points mark Antony, our arms in strength of malice,
- 1:12:25Speaker 3: and our hearts of brothers temper do receive you in
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: with all kind love, good thoughts, and reverence.
- 1:12:36Speaker 13: Your voice shall be as strong as any man than
- 1:12:38Speaker 13: the disposing of new dignities.
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: Only be patient until we have appeased the multitude beside
- 1:12:44Speaker 3: themselves with fear, and then we will deliver you the cause.
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: Why I that did love Caesar when I struck him,
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: have thus proceeded.
- 1:12:57Speaker 12: I doubt not of your wisdom. Each man, render me
- 1:13:00Speaker 12: his bloody hand first, Marcus Brutus, Will I shake with you? Next?
- 1:13:06Speaker 12: Caius Cassius, Do I take your hand? Now? Decius Brutus,
- 1:13:10Speaker 12: yours now yours, Metellus yours, Senna, and my valant Caska yours,
- 1:13:18Speaker 12: though last not last in love, yours Good Trobonius. Gentlemen,
- 1:13:23Speaker 12: all alas, what shall I say? My credit now stands
- 1:13:28Speaker 12: on such slippery ground that one of two bad ways
- 1:13:31Speaker 12: you must conceit me either a coward or a flatterer.
- 1:13:36Speaker 12: That I did love thee Caesar O tis true? If
- 1:13:39Speaker 12: then thy spirit look upon us? Now? Shall it not
- 1:13:42Speaker 12: grieve thee dearer than thy death, to see thy thy
- 1:13:46Speaker 12: Anthony making his peace, shaking the bloody fingers of thy foes,
- 1:13:50Speaker 12: most noble in the presence of thy course. Had I
- 1:13:54Speaker 12: as many eyes as thou hast wounds weeping as fast
- 1:13:57Speaker 12: as they stream forth thy blood, it would become me
- 1:14:01Speaker 12: better than to close in terms of friendship with thine enemies.
- 1:14:05Speaker 12: Pardon me, Julius. Here wast thou bade brave heart? Here
- 1:14:10Speaker 12: didst thou fall? And here thy hunters stand signed in
- 1:14:14Speaker 12: thy spoil and crimsoned in thy lithy o world. Thou
- 1:14:19Speaker 12: wast the forest to this heart, and this indeed O
- 1:14:22Speaker 12: world the heart of thee. How like a deer strucken
- 1:14:26Speaker 12: by many princes, dost thou here, lie mac Antony, Pardon me,
- 1:14:31Speaker 12: Caius Cassius, the enemies of Caesar shall say this, then
- 1:14:35Speaker 12: in a friend it is cold modesty.
- 1:14:38Speaker 13: I'd blame you not for praising Caesar. So, but what
- 1:14:41Speaker 13: compact mean you to have with us? Will you be
- 1:14:44Speaker 13: pricked in number of our friends?
- 1:14:46Speaker 4: Oh?
- 1:14:46Speaker 13: Shall we own and not depend on you?
- 1:14:49Speaker 12: Therefore I took your hands, but was indeed swayed from
- 1:14:52Speaker 12: the point by looking down on Caesar friends. Am I
- 1:14:56Speaker 12: with you all and love you all? Upon this hope
- 1:15:00Speaker 12: that you shall give me reasons why and wherein Caesar
- 1:15:03Speaker 12: was dangerous or else.
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: This was a savage spectacle. Our reasons are so full
- 1:15:09Speaker 3: of good regard that were you Antony, the son of Caesar,
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: you should be satisfied.
- 1:15:16Speaker 12: That's all I seek, and am moreover suitor, that I
- 1:15:19Speaker 12: may produce his body to the market place and in
- 1:15:22Speaker 12: the pulpit, as becomes a friend, speak in the order
- 1:15:26Speaker 12: of his funeral.
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: You shall mark Antony Brutus word.
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: With you aside to Brutus.
- 1:15:32Speaker 13: You know not what you do. Do not consent that
- 1:15:35Speaker 13: Antony speak in his funeral? Know you how much the
- 1:15:38Speaker 13: people may be moved by that which he will utter.
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: By your pardon, I will myself into the pulpit first
- 1:15:46Speaker 3: and show the reason of our Caesar's death. What Antony
- 1:15:50Speaker 3: shall speak, I will protest he speaks by leave and
- 1:15:54Speaker 3: by permission, and that we are contented. Caesar shall have
- 1:15:58Speaker 3: all true rights and lawful ceremonies. It shall advantage more
- 1:16:04Speaker 3: than do us wrong.
- 1:16:06Speaker 13: I know not what may foe. I like it not.
- 1:16:10Speaker 3: Mark Antony here, take you Caesar's body. You shall not
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: in your funeral speech, blame us, but speak all good
- 1:16:20Speaker 3: you can devise of Caesar, and say you do it
- 1:16:24Speaker 3: by our permission. Else shall you not have any hand
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: at all about his funeral? And you shall speak in
- 1:16:33Speaker 3: the same pulpit where to I am going. After my
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: speech is ended, be.
- 1:16:39Speaker 12: It so I do desire no more.
- 1:16:41Speaker 3: Prepare the body then, and follow.
- 1:16:45Speaker 1: Us accient all but antony, Oh.
- 1:16:49Speaker 12: Pardon me, thou, bleeding peace of earth, that I am
- 1:16:52Speaker 12: meek and gentle with these butchers. Thou art the ruins
- 1:16:55Speaker 12: of the noblest man that ever lived in the tide
- 1:16:58Speaker 12: of times, to the hand that shed this costly blood
- 1:17:03Speaker 12: over thy wounds. Now I do prophecy, which, like dumb
- 1:17:07Speaker 12: mouths do ope their ruby lips to beg the voice
- 1:17:11Speaker 12: and utterance of my tongue. A curse shall light upon
- 1:17:14Speaker 12: the limbs of men. Domestic fury and fierce civil strife
- 1:17:18Speaker 12: shall cumber all the parts of Italy. Blood and destruction
- 1:17:22Speaker 12: shall be so in use, and dreadful objects so familiar
- 1:17:26Speaker 12: that mothers shall but smile when they behold their infants
- 1:17:29Speaker 12: quartered with the hands of war, all pity choked with
- 1:17:33Speaker 12: custom of felled deeds, and Caesar's spirit raging for revenge,
- 1:17:38Speaker 12: with Atti by his side, come hot from hell. Shall
- 1:17:41Speaker 12: in these confines with a monarch's voice, cry havoc, and
- 1:17:45Speaker 12: let slip the dogs of war, that this foul deed
- 1:17:48Speaker 12: shall smell above the earth with carrion men groaning for burial.
- 1:17:53Speaker 1: Enter a servant.
- 1:17:54Speaker 12: You serve Octavius Caesar, Do you not I do mark
- 1:17:58Speaker 12: Antony Caesar did write for him to come to Rome.
- 1:18:02Speaker 23: He did receive his letters, and is coming. And bid
- 1:18:05Speaker 23: me say to you by word of mouth, Oh Caesar,
- 1:18:08Speaker 23: seeing the.
- 1:18:09Speaker 12: Body, thy heart is big. Get thee apart and weep
- 1:18:13Speaker 12: passion I see is catching for mine eyes, seeing those
- 1:18:17Speaker 12: beads of sorrow stand in nine begin to water. Is
- 1:18:20Speaker 12: thy master coming?
- 1:18:22Speaker 23: He lies tonight within seven leagues of Rome.
- 1:18:25Speaker 12: Post back with speed and tell him what hath chanced?
- 1:18:29Speaker 12: Here is a morning Rome, a dangerous rome, no rom
- 1:18:32Speaker 12: of safety. Fractavius yet high hence and tell him so
- 1:18:37Speaker 12: Yet stay awhile thou shalt not back till I have
- 1:18:40Speaker 12: borne this course into the market place. There shall I
- 1:18:43Speaker 12: try in my oration how the people take the cruel
- 1:18:46Speaker 12: issue of these bloody men. According to the witch, thou
- 1:18:50Speaker 12: shalt discourse to young Octavius of the state of things,
- 1:18:54Speaker 12: lend me your hand.
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: Accient with Caesar's body two the forum, enter Brutus and
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: Cassius and a throng of citizens.
- 1:19:05Speaker 6: We will be satisfied. Let us be satisfied.
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: Then follow me and give me audience. Friends, Cassius, go
- 1:19:14Speaker 3: you into the other street and part the numbers. Those
- 1:19:17Speaker 3: that will hear me speak, let him stay here. Those
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: that will follow Cassius go with him, and public reasons
- 1:19:26Speaker 3: shall be rendered of Caesar's death.
- 1:19:29Speaker 9: I will hear Brutus speak.
- 1:19:31Speaker 15: I will hear Cassius and compare their reasons. When severally
- 1:19:34Speaker 15: we hear them.
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: Rendered, exit Cassius with some of the citizens, Brutus goes
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: into the pulpit.
- 1:19:40Speaker 6: The noble Brutus is ascended.
- 1:19:42Speaker 3: Silence, be patient till the last romans, countrymen and lovers
- 1:19:52Speaker 3: hear me for my cause, and be silent that you
- 1:19:55Speaker 3: may hear. Believe me for mine honor, and have respect
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: to mine honor. That you may believe Sendsure me and
- 1:20:06Speaker 3: your wisdom, and awake your senses, that you may the
- 1:20:10Speaker 3: better judge. If there be any in this assembly, any
- 1:20:15Speaker 3: dear friend of Caesar's. To him, I say that Brutus's
- 1:20:21Speaker 3: love to Caesar was no less than his. If then
- 1:20:26Speaker 3: that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar. This is
- 1:20:32Speaker 3: my answer, not that I loved Caesar less, but that
- 1:20:38Speaker 3: I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: and die all slaves than that Caesar were dead to
- 1:20:49Speaker 3: live all free men. As Caesar loved me, I weep
- 1:20:55Speaker 3: for him. As he was fortunate, I rejoice at it.
- 1:21:00Speaker 3: As he was valiant, I honor him. But as he
- 1:21:06Speaker 3: was ambitious, I slew him. There is tears for his love,
- 1:21:14Speaker 3: joy for his fortune, honor for his valor, and death
- 1:21:21Speaker 3: for his ambition. Who is here so base that would
- 1:21:25Speaker 3: be a bondman? If any speak for him? Have I offended?
- 1:21:32Speaker 3: Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman?
- 1:21:37Speaker 3: If any speak for him? Have I offended? Who is
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: here so vile that will not love his country? If
- 1:21:50Speaker 3: any speak for him? Have I offended? I pause for
- 1:21:58Speaker 3: a reply, none, Then none have I offended. I have
- 1:22:04Speaker 3: done no more to Caesar than you shall do to Brutus.
- 1:22:09Speaker 3: The question of his death is enrolled in the capitol.
- 1:22:12Speaker 3: His glory not extenuated wherein he was worthy, nor his
- 1:22:17Speaker 3: offenses enforced, for which he suffered death.
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: Enter Antony and others with Caesar's body.
- 1:22:24Speaker 3: Here comes his body, mourned by mark Antony, who, though
- 1:22:31Speaker 3: he had no hand in his death, shall receive the
- 1:22:35Speaker 3: benefit of his dying a place in the commonwealth, as
- 1:22:40Speaker 3: which of you shall not with this, I depart that
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: as I slew my best lover for the good of Rome,
- 1:22:51Speaker 3: I have the same dagger for myself. When it shall
- 1:22:55Speaker 3: please my country to need my death.
- 1:22:59Speaker 15: Live live.
- 1:23:01Speaker 9: Bring him with triumph home unto his house.
- 1:23:04Speaker 15: Give him a statue with his ancestors.
- 1:23:06Speaker 6: Let him be Caesar.
- 1:23:08Speaker 5: Caesar's better part shall be crowned in Brutus.
- 1:23:11Speaker 9: We'll bring him to his house with shouts and clamors.
- 1:23:14Speaker 15: My countrymen, Peace, silence, Brutus speaks.
- 1:23:18Speaker 3: Peace Ho, good countryman. Let me depart alone, and for
- 1:23:24Speaker 3: my sake stay here with Antony. Do grace to Caesar's corpse,
- 1:23:31Speaker 3: and grace his speech tending to Caesar's glories, which mark Antony,
- 1:23:37Speaker 3: by our permission, is allowed to make. I do entreat you.
- 1:23:43Speaker 3: Not a man departs save I alone till Antony have spoke.
- 1:23:52Speaker 9: Stay ho, and let us hear mark Antony.
- 1:23:55Speaker 6: Let him go up into the public chair. We'll hear him,
- 1:23:59Speaker 6: noble Anti, go up.
- 1:24:01Speaker 12: For Brutus's sake, I am beholding.
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: To you, goes into the pulpit.
- 1:24:06Speaker 26: What does he say of Brutus?
- 1:24:07Speaker 6: He says, for brutus sake, he finds himself beholding to us.
- 1:24:12Speaker 20: All to her best.
- 1:24:13Speaker 28: He speak no harm of Brutus here.
- 1:24:15Speaker 9: This Caesar was a tyrant.
- 1:24:17Speaker 6: Nay, that's certain. We are blessed that Rome is rid
- 1:24:21Speaker 6: of him.
- 1:24:21Speaker 15: Peace. Let us hear what Antony can say.
- 1:24:24Speaker 12: You gentle Romans, peace, ho let friends, Romans, countrymen, lend
- 1:24:31Speaker 12: me your ears. I come to bury Caesar, not to
- 1:24:34Speaker 12: praise him. The evil that men do lives after them.
- 1:24:38Speaker 12: The good is oft interred with their bones. So let
- 1:24:42Speaker 12: it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus hath told you
- 1:24:45Speaker 12: Caesar was ambitious. If it were so, it was a
- 1:24:48Speaker 12: grievous fault, And grievously hath Caesar answered it here under
- 1:24:53Speaker 12: leave of Brutus and the rest. For Brutus is an
- 1:24:56Speaker 12: honorable man, so are they all all honorable men? Come
- 1:25:01Speaker 12: I to speak in Caesar's funeral. He was my friend,
- 1:25:05Speaker 12: faithful and just to me. But Brutus says he was ambitious,
- 1:25:10Speaker 12: and Brutus is an honorable man. He hath brought many
- 1:25:13Speaker 12: captives home to Rome, whose ransoms did the general coffers fill?
- 1:25:18Speaker 12: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor
- 1:25:22Speaker 12: have cried Caesar hath wept. Ambition should be made of
- 1:25:26Speaker 12: sterner stuff. Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus
- 1:25:30Speaker 12: is an honorable man. You all did see that on
- 1:25:33Speaker 12: the lupercale I thrice presented him a kingly crown, which
- 1:25:37Speaker 12: he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition? Yet Brutus says
- 1:25:42Speaker 12: he was ambitious, and sure he is an honorable man.
- 1:25:47Speaker 12: I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here
- 1:25:50Speaker 12: I am to speak what I do know. You all
- 1:25:53Speaker 12: did love him once, not without cause. What cause withholds
- 1:25:57Speaker 12: you then to mourn for him? Oh judgment, Thou art
- 1:26:01Speaker 12: fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason.
- 1:26:05Speaker 15: Bear with me.
- 1:26:06Speaker 12: My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and
- 1:26:09Speaker 12: I must pause till it come back to me.
- 1:26:12Speaker 9: Methinks there is much reason in his sayings.
- 1:26:15Speaker 15: If thou consider rightly of the matter. Caesar has had
- 1:26:17Speaker 15: great wrong.
- 1:26:18Speaker 6: Has he? Masters? I fear there will a worse come
- 1:26:22Speaker 6: in his place.
- 1:26:23Speaker 5: Marked Ye his words, he would not take the crown.
- 1:26:26Speaker 28: Therefore tis certain he was not ambitious.
- 1:26:29Speaker 9: If it be found, so some will dear abide it.
- 1:26:32Speaker 15: Poor soul, his eyes are as red as fire with weeping.
- 1:26:35Speaker 6: There's not a nobler man in Rome than Anthony.
- 1:26:38Speaker 10: Now mark him.
- 1:26:39Speaker 5: He begins again to speak.
- 1:26:41Speaker 12: But yesterday the word of Caesar might have stood against
- 1:26:45Speaker 12: the world. Now lies he there, and none so poor
- 1:26:49Speaker 12: to do him reverence? O, masters, if I were disposed
- 1:26:53Speaker 12: to stir your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage,
- 1:26:56Speaker 12: I should do Brutus wrong and Cassius wrong, who you
- 1:27:00Speaker 12: all know are honorable men. I will not do them wrong.
- 1:27:04Speaker 12: I rather choose to wrong the dead, to wrong myself
- 1:27:08Speaker 12: and you. Then I will wrong such honorable men. But
- 1:27:13Speaker 12: here's a parchment with the seal of Caesar. I found
- 1:27:16Speaker 12: it in his closet. 'tis his will. Let but the
- 1:27:19Speaker 12: commons hear this testament, which pardon me I do not
- 1:27:23Speaker 12: mean to read. And they would go and kiss dead
- 1:27:26Speaker 12: Caesar's wounds and dip their napkins in his sacred blood.
- 1:27:30Speaker 12: YEA beg a hair of him from memory, and dying
- 1:27:33Speaker 12: mention it within their wills bequeathing it as a rich
- 1:27:37Speaker 12: legacy unto their issue.
- 1:27:39Speaker 5: Will hear the will? Read it, marc Antony, the will,
- 1:27:42Speaker 5: the will, we will hear Caesar.
- 1:27:43Speaker 12: Will have patience, gentle friends, I must not read it.
- 1:27:48Speaker 12: It is not meet You know how Caesar loved you.
- 1:27:51Speaker 12: You are not wood, you are not stones, but men,
- 1:27:54Speaker 12: and being men, bearing the will of Caesar, it will
- 1:27:58Speaker 12: inflame you. It will make you mad. Tis good? You
- 1:28:01Speaker 12: know not that you are his heirs. For if you should, oh,
- 1:28:05Speaker 12: what would come of it?
- 1:28:07Speaker 28: Read the will?
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: We'll hear it.
- 1:28:08Speaker 28: Antony, you shall read us the will, Caesar's will?
- 1:28:11Speaker 12: Will you be patient? Will you stay awhile I have
- 1:28:14Speaker 12: or shot myself to tell you of it? I fear
- 1:28:17Speaker 12: I wrong. The honorable men whose daggers have stabbed Caesar,
- 1:28:21Speaker 12: I do fear it.
- 1:28:22Speaker 20: They were traitors, honorable men, the will.
- 1:28:25Speaker 15: The testaments, they were villains, murderers, the will. Read the will.
- 1:28:30Speaker 12: You will compel me then to read the will. Then
- 1:28:33Speaker 12: make a ring about the corpse of Caesar, and let
- 1:28:36Speaker 12: me show you him that made the will. Shall I descend,
- 1:28:39Speaker 12: and will you give me leave?
- 1:28:41Speaker 17: Come down?
- 1:28:42Speaker 15: Descend?
- 1:28:43Speaker 6: You shall have leave?
- 1:28:45Speaker 1: Antony comes down a ring, stand round.
- 1:28:49Speaker 9: Stand from the hearse, stand from the body.
- 1:28:51Speaker 15: Room for antony, most noble Antony.
- 1:28:54Speaker 12: Nay, press not so upon me, stand far.
- 1:28:56Speaker 1: Off, stand back room, bear back.
- 1:29:00Speaker 12: If you have tears, prepare to shed them. Now you
- 1:29:04Speaker 12: all do know this mantle. I remember the first time
- 1:29:07Speaker 12: ever Caesar put it on, twas on a summer's evening
- 1:29:10Speaker 12: in his tent. That day he overcame the nervie eye.
- 1:29:14Speaker 12: Look in this place, ran Cassius's dagger through. See what
- 1:29:18Speaker 12: a rent the envious Kaska made through this? The well
- 1:29:22Speaker 12: beloved Brutus stabbed, and as he plucked his cursed steel away.
- 1:29:27Speaker 12: Mark how the blood of Caesar followed it, as rushing
- 1:29:30Speaker 12: out of doors to be resolved if Brutus so unkindly
- 1:29:34Speaker 12: knocked or no. For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar's angel, Judge,
- 1:29:40Speaker 12: O you gods, how dearly Caesar loved him. This was
- 1:29:43Speaker 12: the most unkindest cut of all. For when the noble
- 1:29:47Speaker 12: Caesar saw him stab in gratitude more strong than traitors's arms,
- 1:29:52Speaker 12: quite vanquished him. Then burst his mighty heart and in
- 1:29:56Speaker 12: his mantle, muffling up his face even at the base
- 1:30:00Speaker 12: of Pompey Statua, which all the while ran blood. Great
- 1:30:05Speaker 12: Caesar fell. Oh what a fall was there, my countryman?
- 1:30:09Speaker 12: Then I and you and all of us fell down,
- 1:30:12Speaker 12: whilst bloody treason flourished over us. Oh now you weep,
- 1:30:17Speaker 12: and I perceive you feel the dint of pity. These
- 1:30:20Speaker 12: are gracious drops, kind souls. What weep you when you
- 1:30:25Speaker 12: but behold are Caesar's vesture wounded? Look you here, here
- 1:30:29Speaker 12: is himself marred as you see with traders.
- 1:30:33Speaker 9: Oh piteous spectacle, Oh noble Caesar.
- 1:30:36Speaker 6: Oh woeful day, oh traders.
- 1:30:38Speaker 9: Villains, Oh most bloody sight.
- 1:30:41Speaker 15: We will be revenged, seek fire killed.
- 1:30:46Speaker 12: Let me live, stay countryman, peace.
- 1:30:49Speaker 9: There hear the noble antony.
- 1:30:52Speaker 15: We'll hear him, we'll follow him, we'll die with him.
- 1:30:55Speaker 12: Good friends, sweet friends, let me not stir you up
- 1:30:59Speaker 12: to such a sudden flood of mutiny. They that have
- 1:31:02Speaker 12: done this deed are honorable. What private griefs they have?
- 1:31:06Speaker 12: Alas I know not that made them do it? They
- 1:31:09Speaker 12: are wise and honorable, and will no doubt with reasons
- 1:31:13Speaker 12: answer you. I come, not friends, to steal away your hearts.
- 1:31:17Speaker 12: I am no orator as Brutus is, but as you
- 1:31:21Speaker 12: know me, all a plain blunt man that love my friend,
- 1:31:25Speaker 12: and that they know full well that gave me public
- 1:31:28Speaker 12: leave to speak of him. For I have neither wit,
- 1:31:31Speaker 12: nor words, nor worth, action, nor utterance, nor the power
- 1:31:35Speaker 12: of speech to stir men's blood. I only speak right on,
- 1:31:40Speaker 12: And I tell you that which you yourselves do know.
- 1:31:43Speaker 12: Show you sweet Caesar's wounds, poor poor dumb mouths, and
- 1:31:47Speaker 12: bid them speak from me. But were I brutus and
- 1:31:51Speaker 12: brutus Antony, there were an Antony would ruffle up your
- 1:31:55Speaker 12: spirits and put a tongue in every wound of Caesar.
- 1:31:58Speaker 12: That should move the stones of Rome to rise, and mutiny.
- 1:32:01Speaker 6: Will burn the house of Brutus away. Then come seek
- 1:32:06Speaker 6: the conspirators.
- 1:32:08Speaker 12: Yet hear me, countrymen, Yet hear.
- 1:32:10Speaker 15: Me speak peep ho here Antony, most.
- 1:32:13Speaker 12: Noble, Why friends you go to? Do you know not what?
- 1:32:17Speaker 12: Wherein has Caesar thus deserved your loves? Alas you know not?
- 1:32:22Speaker 12: I must tell you? Then you have forgot the will
- 1:32:25Speaker 12: I told you of.
- 1:32:26Speaker 15: Most do the will.
- 1:32:29Speaker 9: Let's stay and here the will.
- 1:32:30Speaker 12: Here is the will, and under Caesar seal to every
- 1:32:34Speaker 12: Roman citizen. He gives to every several man seventy five drachmas.
- 1:32:39Speaker 15: Most noble. Caesar will revenge his death, Oh royal Caesar.
- 1:32:43Speaker 12: Hear me with patience. Please, how moreover he hath left
- 1:32:48Speaker 12: you all his walks, his private arbors, and new planted
- 1:32:51Speaker 12: orchards on this side of Tiber. He hath left them
- 1:32:55Speaker 12: you and to your heirs forever common pleasures to walk
- 1:32:59Speaker 12: abroad and recreate yourselves. Here was a Caesar. One comes
- 1:33:04Speaker 12: such another never.
- 1:33:06Speaker 9: Never come away away, will burn his body in the
- 1:33:09Speaker 9: holy place, and with the brands fire the trader's houses.
- 1:33:13Speaker 9: Take up the body, go fetch fire.
- 1:33:16Speaker 6: Pluck down benches.
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: Pluck down forms, windows, anything Accian citizens with the body.
- 1:33:22Speaker 12: Now let it work mischief. Thou art afoot? Take thou
- 1:33:27Speaker 12: what course thou wilt.
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: Enter a servant?
- 1:33:31Speaker 23: Ho Now, fellow, Sir Octavius is already come to Rome.
- 1:33:35Speaker 12: Where is he?

- 1:33:41Speaker 12: upon a wish fortune is merry, and in this mood
- 1:33:44Speaker 12: will give us anything.
- 1:33:45Speaker 23: I heard him say. Brutus and Cassius are rid like
- 1:33:48Speaker 23: madmen through the gates of Rome.
- 1:33:50Speaker 12: Belike they had some notice of the people. How I
- 1:33:53Speaker 12: had moved them. Bring me to Octavius.

- 1:34:48Speaker 28: I am going to Cesar's funeral.

- 1:35:35Speaker 1: End of Act three, Act four, Scene one, a house
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: in Rome, Antony, Octavius, and Lepidus seated at a table.
- 1:35:47Speaker 12: These money then shall die. Their names are pricked.
- 1:35:50Speaker 20: Your brother too must die.
- 1:35:53Speaker 29: Consent you, Lepidus, I do consent.
- 1:35:55Speaker 20: Prick him down Anthony.
- 1:35:57Speaker 17: Upon condition, Publius shall not live. Who is your sister's son,
- 1:36:02Speaker 17: Mark Anthony.

- 1:36:16Speaker 17: What shall I find you here?
- 1:36:18Speaker 20: Or here or at the capitol?
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: Acxit, Lepidus, this is a.
- 1:36:23Speaker 12: Slight, unmeritable man meet to be sent on errands? Is
- 1:36:27Speaker 12: it fit that the threefold world divided? He should stand
- 1:36:31Speaker 12: one of the three to share it.
- 1:36:33Speaker 29: So you thought him and took his voice. Who should
- 1:36:36Speaker 29: be pricked to die? In our black sentence and.
- 1:36:39Speaker 12: Proscription, Octavius, I have seen more days than you. And
- 1:36:43Speaker 12: though we lay these honors on this man to ease
- 1:36:46Speaker 12: ourselves of divers slanderous loads, he shall but bear them
- 1:36:50Speaker 12: as the ass bears gold, to groan and sweat under
- 1:36:54Speaker 12: the business, either led or driven, as we point the way,
- 1:36:58Speaker 12: and having brought our treasure where we will then take
- 1:37:01Speaker 12: weed down his load and turn him off, like to
- 1:37:04Speaker 12: the empty ass, to shake his ears and graze in commons.
- 1:37:08Speaker 29: You may do your will, But he's a tried and
- 1:37:10Speaker 29: valiant soldier.
- 1:37:12Speaker 12: So is my horse, Octavius, and for that I do
- 1:37:15Speaker 12: appoint him store of provender. It is a creature that
- 1:37:19Speaker 12: I teach to fight, to wind, to stop, to run
- 1:37:22Speaker 12: directly on his corporal motion governed by my spirit, and
- 1:37:27Speaker 12: in some taste is lepidus. But so he must be
- 1:37:30Speaker 12: taught and trained, and bid go forth a barren spirited fellow,
- 1:37:35Speaker 12: one that feeds on abjects orts and imitations, which, out
- 1:37:39Speaker 12: of use and staled by other men, begin his fashion.
- 1:37:43Speaker 12: Do not talk of him but as a property. And
- 1:37:46Speaker 12: now Octavius. Listen, great things Brutus and Cassius are levying powers.
- 1:37:53Speaker 12: We must straight make head. Therefore, let our alliance be combined,
- 1:37:57Speaker 12: our best friends made, our means stretched. And let us
- 1:38:00Speaker 12: presently go sit in council. How covert matters may be
- 1:38:04Speaker 12: best disclosed and open perils? Surest answered, let.
- 1:38:08Speaker 29: Us do so, for we are at the stake, and
- 1:38:11Speaker 29: bade about with many enemies, and some that smile having
- 1:38:15Speaker 29: their hearts. I fear millions of mischiefs.
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: Exian scene two camp near Sardes, before Brutus's tent drum.
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: Enter Brutus, Lucilius, Lucius, and soldiers Tintinius and Pandarus. Meeting them, stand.
- 1:38:38Speaker 30: Ho, give the word ho, and stand what now?
- 1:38:42Speaker 3: Lucilius is Cassius near.
- 1:38:45Speaker 30: He is at hand, and Pinderus has come to do
- 1:38:48Speaker 30: you salutation from his master.
- 1:38:51Speaker 3: He greets me well, your master Pindarus, in his own
- 1:38:56Speaker 3: charge or by ill officers, hath given me some worthy
- 1:39:00Speaker 3: cause to wish things done undone. But if he be
- 1:39:05Speaker 3: at hand, I shall be satisfied.
- 1:39:08Speaker 25: I do not doubt but that my noble master will appear,
- 1:39:11Speaker 25: such as he is, full of regard and honor, he is.
- 1:39:13Speaker 3: Not doubted a word, Lucilius, how he received you. Let
- 1:39:20Speaker 3: me be resolved.
- 1:39:22Speaker 30: With courtesy and with respect enough, but not with such
- 1:39:27Speaker 30: familiar instances, nor with such free and friendly conference as
- 1:39:31Speaker 30: he hath used of old.
- 1:39:33Speaker 3: Thou hast described a hot friend cooling. Ever, note, Lucilius,
- 1:39:40Speaker 3: when love begins to sicken and decay, it useth an
- 1:39:46Speaker 3: enforced ceremony. There are no tricks in plain and simple faith,
- 1:39:51Speaker 3: but hollow men, like horses hot at hand, may gallant
- 1:39:56Speaker 3: show and promise of their metal, but when they should
- 1:40:00Speaker 3: and endure the bloody spur, they fall their crests, and
- 1:40:04Speaker 3: like deceitful jades sink in the trial. Comes his army.
- 1:40:10Speaker 30: On they mean this night in sardis to be quoted.
- 1:40:15Speaker 30: The greater part the horse in general are come with Cassius.
- 1:40:20Speaker 3: Hark he has arrived low March, within march, gently on
- 1:40:25Speaker 3: to meet him.
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: Enter Cassius and his powers.
- 1:40:30Speaker 3: Stand Ho stand Ho, speak the word along, stand, stand stand.
- 1:40:39Speaker 13: Most noble brother. You have done me wrong.
- 1:40:42Speaker 3: Judge me you gods wrong? I mine enemies, And if
- 1:40:48Speaker 3: not so, how should I wrong?
- 1:40:51Speaker 20: A brother?
- 1:40:52Speaker 13: Brutus, This sober fom of yours hides wrongs, and when
- 1:40:55Speaker 13: you do.
- 1:40:56Speaker 3: Them, Cassius, be content. Speak your griefs softly. I do
- 1:41:02Speaker 3: know you well before the eyes of both our armies here,
- 1:41:07Speaker 3: which should perceive nothing but love from us, let us
- 1:41:11Speaker 3: not wrangle. Bid them move away. Then in my tent, Cassius,
- 1:41:18Speaker 3: enlarger griefs, and I will give you audience.
- 1:41:23Speaker 13: Bindarus, bid our commanders lead their charges off a little
- 1:41:25Speaker 13: from this ground.
- 1:41:27Speaker 3: Lucilius do the like, and let no man come to
- 1:41:31Speaker 3: our tent till we have done our conference. Let Lucius
- 1:41:38Speaker 3: and Tantanius guard the door.
- 1:41:41Speaker 1: Exant Scene three Brutus's tent enter. Brutus and Cassius.
- 1:41:52Speaker 13: That you have wronged me doth appear in this that
- 1:41:54Speaker 13: you have condemned and noted Lucius Peller for taking bribes
- 1:41:57Speaker 13: here of the Sardians we're in my let us pray
- 1:42:00Speaker 13: on his side, because I knew the man was slighted off.
- 1:42:03Speaker 3: You wronged yourself to right in such a case.
- 1:42:07Speaker 13: In such a time as this, it is not meant
- 1:42:08Speaker 13: that every nice offense should bear his comment.
- 1:42:11Speaker 3: Let me tell you, Cassius, you yourself are much condemned
- 1:42:16Speaker 3: to have an itching palm to sell and mark your
- 1:42:20Speaker 3: offices for gold to undeservers.
- 1:42:24Speaker 13: I an itching palm. You know that you were brutus
- 1:42:28Speaker 13: that speak this, or by the gods this speech, what
- 1:42:30Speaker 13: else you'll last?
- 1:42:31Speaker 3: The name of Cassius honors dis corruption and chastisement. Doth
- 1:42:38Speaker 3: therefore hide his head chastisement. Remember March, the IDEs of March.
- 1:42:46Speaker 3: Remember did not Great Julius bleed for justice's sake? What
- 1:42:52Speaker 3: villain touched his body that did stab? And not for justice?
- 1:42:59Speaker 3: What shall one of us that struck the foremost man
- 1:43:03Speaker 3: of all this world but for supporting robbers? Shall we
- 1:43:08Speaker 3: now contaminate our fingers with base bribes and sell the
- 1:43:13Speaker 3: mighty space of our large honors for so much trash
- 1:43:18Speaker 3: as may be grasped. Thus I had rather be a
- 1:43:22Speaker 3: dog and bay the moon than such.
- 1:43:26Speaker 13: A Roman brutus.
- 1:43:28Speaker 9: Bay me not.
- 1:43:29Speaker 13: I'll not endure it. You forget yourself to hedge me in.
- 1:43:32Speaker 13: I am a soldier, I holder in practice, abler than
- 1:43:35Speaker 13: yourself to make conditions go to.
- 1:43:38Speaker 3: You are not Cassius, I am. I say you are.
- 1:43:43Speaker 13: Not urge me no more? I shall forget myself. Have
- 1:43:46Speaker 13: mind upon your health. Tempt me no further away, slight
- 1:43:51Speaker 13: man ist possible hear me, for I will speak.
- 1:43:57Speaker 3: Must I give way and room to your rash collar?
- 1:44:01Speaker 3: Shall I be frightened when a madman stares?
- 1:44:05Speaker 31: Now?
- 1:44:05Speaker 13: Ye, Gods, ye, gods. Must I endure all this?
- 1:44:08Speaker 3: All this I more fret till your proud heart break.
- 1:44:15Speaker 3: Go show your slaves how chileric you are, and make
- 1:44:18Speaker 3: your bondman tremble. Must I budge? Must I observe you?
- 1:44:25Speaker 3: Must I stand and crouch under your testy humor? By
- 1:44:30Speaker 3: the gods, you shall digest the venom of your spleen,
- 1:44:35Speaker 3: though it do split you. For from this day forth
- 1:44:40Speaker 3: I use you for my mirth, yea for my lefter
- 1:44:45Speaker 3: when you are waspish?
- 1:44:47Speaker 13: Is it come to this?
- 1:44:49Speaker 3: You say you are a better soldier? Let it appears.
- 1:44:53Speaker 3: So make your vaunting true, and it shall please me well.
- 1:45:00Speaker 3: For my own part, I shall be glad to learn
- 1:45:06Speaker 3: of noble men.
- 1:45:07Speaker 13: You wrong me every way you wrong me. Brutus, I
- 1:45:10Speaker 13: said an elder soldier, not a better? Did I say better?
- 1:45:14Speaker 3: If you did? I care not?
- 1:45:17Speaker 13: When Caesar lived, he does not thus have moved me
- 1:45:19Speaker 13: peace peace.
- 1:45:22Speaker 3: You durst not so have tempted him.
- 1:45:25Speaker 13: I dost not know, but does not tempt.
- 1:45:29Speaker 3: Him for your life, you durst not.
- 1:45:33Speaker 13: Do not presume too much upon my love. I may
- 1:45:35Speaker 13: do that, I shall be sorry for you.
- 1:45:38Speaker 3: Have done that. You should be sorry for. There is
- 1:45:42Speaker 3: no terror, Cassius in your threats, For I am armed
- 1:45:47Speaker 3: so strong in honesty that they pass by me as
- 1:45:51Speaker 3: the idle wind, which I respect.
- 1:45:55Speaker 25: Not.
- 1:45:56Speaker 3: I did send to you for certain sums of gold,
- 1:46:00Speaker 3: which you denied me, For I can raise no money
- 1:46:05Speaker 3: by vile means by heaven. I had rather coined my
- 1:46:10Speaker 3: heart and drop my blood for Drachmas, than to wring
- 1:46:15Speaker 3: from the hard hands of peasants their vile trash by
- 1:46:20Speaker 3: any indirection. I did send to you for gold to
- 1:46:25Speaker 3: pay my legions, which you denied me. Was that done
- 1:46:30Speaker 3: like Cassius? Should I have answered Caius? Cassius, So when
- 1:46:38Speaker 3: Marcus Brutus grows so covetous to lock such rascal counters
- 1:46:45Speaker 3: from his friends, be ready, Gods, with all your thunderbolts,
- 1:46:51Speaker 3: dash him to pieces.
- 1:46:54Speaker 13: I denied you, not, you did, I did not. He
- 1:46:59Speaker 13: was but a fool that brought my answer back. Brutus
- 1:47:02Speaker 13: hath rived my heart. A friend should bear his friend's infirmities,
- 1:47:06Speaker 13: but Brutus makes mine greater than they are.
- 1:47:08Speaker 3: I do not till you practice them on me.
- 1:47:12Speaker 13: You love me not.
- 1:47:14Speaker 3: I do not like your faults.
- 1:47:17Speaker 13: A friendly I could never see such faults.
- 1:47:20Speaker 3: A flatterers would not, though they do appear as huge
- 1:47:24Speaker 3: as high.
- 1:47:25Speaker 13: Olympus, Come, Anthony and young Octavius. Come revenge yourselves alone
- 1:47:30Speaker 13: on Cassius. For Cassius is a weary of the world,
- 1:47:33Speaker 13: hated by one he loves, braved by his brother, checked
- 1:47:37Speaker 13: like a bondman, all his faults observed, set in a
- 1:47:40Speaker 13: note book, learned and conned by Rote to cast into
- 1:47:43Speaker 13: my teeth. No I could weep my spirit from mine eyes.
- 1:47:48Speaker 13: There is my dagger, and hear my naked breast within
- 1:47:51Speaker 13: a heart dearer than plutus, mine richer than gold. If
- 1:47:55Speaker 13: that thou be, sir Roman, take it forth, I that
- 1:47:58Speaker 13: denied thee gold would give my heart strike as thou
- 1:48:01Speaker 13: didst at Caesar. For I know when thou didst hate
- 1:48:04Speaker 13: him worse, thou lovest him better than ever thou lovest Cassius.
- 1:48:08Speaker 3: Sheathe your dagger. Be angry when you will it shall
- 1:48:14Speaker 3: have scope, do what you will dishonor shall be humor.
- 1:48:21Speaker 3: Oh Cassius, you are yoked with a lamb that carries
- 1:48:26Speaker 3: anger as the flint bears fire, who much enforced, shows
- 1:48:32Speaker 3: a hasty spark, and straight is cold again.
- 1:48:36Speaker 13: Hath Cassius lived to be but mirth and laughter to
- 1:48:39Speaker 13: his Brutus, when grief and blood ill tempered, vexed.
- 1:48:41Speaker 3: Him when I spoke that I was ill tempered too?
- 1:48:46Speaker 13: Do you confess so much? Give me your hand.
- 1:48:49Speaker 3: And my heart too, Oh Brutus, what's the matter?
- 1:48:55Speaker 13: Have not you love enough to bear with me? When
- 1:48:57Speaker 13: that rath's humor which my mother gave me makes me forget.
- 1:49:00Speaker 3: Yes, Cassius, and from henceforth, when you are over earnest
- 1:49:06Speaker 3: with your Brutus, he'll think your mother chides and leave you.
- 1:49:12Speaker 25: So within, let me go in to see the generals.
- 1:49:17Speaker 25: There's some grudge between them? Tis not meet. They be
- 1:49:20Speaker 25: alone within.
- 1:49:23Speaker 30: You shall not come to them.
- 1:49:25Speaker 25: Within Nothing but death shall stay.
- 1:49:28Speaker 1: Me, enter poet, followed by Lucilius, Titanius, and Lucius.
- 1:49:33Speaker 13: Now what's the matter?
- 1:49:35Speaker 25: For shame you generals? What do you mean? Love and
- 1:49:39Speaker 25: be friends as two such men should be? For I
- 1:49:41Speaker 25: have seen more years, I'm sure than ye ha ha.
- 1:49:45Speaker 13: How vilely doth this cynic rhyme.
- 1:49:48Speaker 3: Get you Hens, surah saucy fellow Hens.
- 1:49:53Speaker 13: Bear with him. Brutus tis his fashion.
- 1:49:55Speaker 3: I'll know his humor when he knows his time. What
- 1:49:59Speaker 3: should the wars do with these jigging fools? Companion Hence away,
- 1:50:05Speaker 3: away be gone, Exit Poet Lucilius and Tenttenius bid the
- 1:50:11Speaker 3: commanders prepare to lodge their companies tonight.
- 1:50:15Speaker 13: And come yourselves and bring massala with you immediately to.
- 1:50:17Speaker 1: Us, Excient Lucilius and Tantanius.
- 1:50:21Speaker 3: Lucius a bowl of wine.
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: Exit, Lucius.
- 1:50:26Speaker 13: I did not think you could have been so angry.
- 1:50:28Speaker 3: Oh Cassius, I am sick of many griefs.
- 1:50:33Speaker 13: Of your philosophy. You make no use if you give
- 1:50:35Speaker 13: place to accidental evils.
- 1:50:38Speaker 3: No man bears sorrow better. Portia is dead.
- 1:50:45Speaker 13: Hah posha, she is dead. Have scaped I killing when
- 1:50:50Speaker 13: I crossed you? So oh, insupportable and touching loss upon
- 1:50:54Speaker 13: what sickness?
- 1:50:55Speaker 3: Impatient of my absence and grief that young Tavius with
- 1:51:01Speaker 3: marc Antony have made themselves so strong, for with her
- 1:51:05Speaker 3: death that tidings came. With this she fell distract and
- 1:51:14Speaker 3: her attendants absent, swallowed.
- 1:51:18Speaker 13: Fire and died so even so, oh ye immortal gods.
- 1:51:26Speaker 1: Re enter Lucius with wine and Taper.
- 1:51:29Speaker 3: Speak no more of her. Give me a bowl of
- 1:51:33Speaker 3: wine in this I bury all unkindness. Cassius.
- 1:51:40Speaker 13: My heart is thirsty for that noble pledge fil Lucius
- 1:51:44Speaker 13: to the wine. I swell the cup. I cannot drink
- 1:51:46Speaker 13: too much of brutish love.
- 1:51:48Speaker 1: Come in Titanius, except Lucius re enter Tantanius with massillah.
- 1:51:55Speaker 3: Welcome, good massalah. Now sit we close about Taper here
- 1:52:01Speaker 3: and call in question our necessities.
- 1:52:04Speaker 13: Posia art thou gone no more?
- 1:52:07Speaker 3: I pray you, Missala. I have here received letters that
- 1:52:13Speaker 3: young Octavius and marc Antony come down upon us with
- 1:52:16Speaker 3: a mighty power, bending their expedition toward.
- 1:52:20Speaker 5: PHILIPPI myself have letters of the self same.
- 1:52:23Speaker 3: Tenor with what addition that, by.
- 1:52:26Speaker 5: Prescription and bills of outlawry, Octavius, Antony and Lepidus have
- 1:52:31Speaker 5: put to death an one hundred senators.
- 1:52:33Speaker 3: Therein our letters do not well agree mine speak of
- 1:52:38Speaker 3: seventy senators that died by their prescriptions, Cicero being one.
- 1:52:45Speaker 5: Cicero one Cicero is dead, and by that order of prescription,
- 1:52:50Speaker 5: had you your letters from your wife.
- 1:52:52Speaker 3: My lord, no Massala.
- 1:52:54Speaker 5: Nor nothing in your letters rid of her.
- 1:52:57Speaker 3: Nothing Massala that me think is strange? Why ask you
- 1:53:03Speaker 3: here you ought of her in yours? No, my Lord,
- 1:53:07Speaker 3: Now as you are a Roman, tell me true.
- 1:53:12Speaker 5: Then, like a Roman, bear the truth. I tell for
- 1:53:15Speaker 5: certain she is dead. And by strange.
- 1:53:17Speaker 3: Manner, Why farewell, Poortia, we must die Massallah with meditating
- 1:53:26Speaker 3: that she must die once. I have the patience to
- 1:53:31Speaker 3: endure it.
- 1:53:32Speaker 5: Now, even so, great men, great losses should endure.
- 1:53:36Speaker 13: I have as much of this in aught as you.
- 1:53:38Speaker 13: Yet my nature could not bear it.
- 1:53:40Speaker 3: So well to our work alive. What do you think
- 1:53:45Speaker 3: of marching to Philippi? Presently?
- 1:53:48Speaker 13: I do not think it good?
- 1:53:50Speaker 3: Your reason this?
- 1:53:52Speaker 13: It is tis better that the enemy seek us, So
- 1:53:55Speaker 13: shall he waste his means, weary his soldiers, doing him
- 1:53:58Speaker 13: self offense, whilst we lying still are full of rest,
- 1:54:03Speaker 13: defense and nimbleness.
- 1:54:05Speaker 3: Good reasons must of force give place to better. The
- 1:54:11Speaker 3: people TwixT Philippi and this ground do stand but in
- 1:54:15Speaker 3: a forced affection, for they have grudged us contribution. The
- 1:54:21Speaker 3: enemy marching along by them, by them, shall make a
- 1:54:25Speaker 3: fuller number up. Come on, refreshed, new added and encouraged,
- 1:54:32Speaker 3: from which advantage shall we cut him off? If at
- 1:54:36Speaker 3: Philippi we do face him. There these people.
- 1:54:40Speaker 6: At our back hear me, good brother.
- 1:54:43Speaker 3: Under your pardon, you must note beside that we have
- 1:54:48Speaker 3: tried the utmost of our friends, Our legions are brim full,
- 1:54:53Speaker 3: our cause is ripe. The enemy increaseth every day. We
- 1:54:59Speaker 3: at the high are ready to decline. There is a
- 1:55:03Speaker 3: tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood,
- 1:55:09Speaker 3: leads on to fortune omitted. All the voyage of their
- 1:55:15Speaker 3: life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such
- 1:55:19Speaker 3: a full sea are we now afloat, and we must
- 1:55:24Speaker 3: take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
- 1:55:30Speaker 13: Then, with your will go on we'll along ourselves and
- 1:55:33Speaker 13: meet them at Philippi.
- 1:55:34Speaker 3: The deep of night is crept upon our talk, and
- 1:55:39Speaker 3: nature must obey necessity, which we will niggart. With a
- 1:55:44Speaker 3: little rest, there is no more to.
- 1:55:47Speaker 13: Say, no more good night. Early to morrow we will rise, and.
- 1:55:52Speaker 1: Hence Lucius enter Lucius my gown, except Lucius.
- 1:56:00Speaker 3: Farewell, good Massala, good night tantanius, noble, noble Cassius, good night,
- 1:56:08Speaker 3: and good repose.
- 1:56:10Speaker 13: Oh my dear brother, this was an ill beginning to
- 1:56:14Speaker 13: the night. Never come such division between our souls, is
- 1:56:18Speaker 13: it not.
- 1:56:18Speaker 3: Brutus, Everything is well. Good night, my lord, good night,
- 1:56:24Speaker 3: good brother.
- 1:56:25Speaker 27: Good night, Lord Brutus.
- 1:56:27Speaker 1: Farewell everyone Axcient, all but Brutus re enter Lucius with
- 1:56:33Speaker 1: the gown.
- 1:56:34Speaker 3: Give me the gown. Where is thy instrument?
- 1:56:38Speaker 4: Here in the tent?
- 1:56:39Speaker 3: What thou speakest drowsily, poor knave, I blame thee, not
- 1:56:44Speaker 3: thou art or watched. Call Claudius and some other of
- 1:56:49Speaker 3: my men. I'll have them sleep on cushions in my tent.
- 1:56:54Speaker 4: Borrow and Clodius enter.
- 1:56:56Speaker 1: Varro and Claudius calls.
- 1:56:59Speaker 8: My lord.
- 1:57:00Speaker 3: I pray you, sirs, lie in my tent and sleep.
- 1:57:04Speaker 3: It may be I shall raise you by and by
- 1:57:07Speaker 3: on business to my brother Cassius.
- 1:57:10Speaker 10: So please you.
- 1:57:11Speaker 23: We will stand and watch your pleasure.
- 1:57:13Speaker 4: I will not have it.
- 1:57:14Speaker 3: So lie down, good sirs, it may be I shall
- 1:57:19Speaker 3: otherwise bethink me. Look, Lucius, here's the book I sought for,
- 1:57:25Speaker 3: so I put it in the pocket of my gown.
- 1:57:29Speaker 1: Varro and Claudius lie down.
- 1:57:31Speaker 4: I was sure your lordship did not give it to me.
- 1:57:35Speaker 3: Bear with me, good boy, I am much forgetful canst
- 1:57:41Speaker 3: thou hold up thy heavy eyes awhile and touch thy
- 1:57:45Speaker 3: instrumental strain or two?
- 1:57:48Speaker 4: Ay, my lord, I please you, it does.
- 1:57:53Speaker 3: My boy, I trouble THEE too much, But thou art willing.
- 1:57:59Speaker 4: It is my duties, sir.
- 1:58:01Speaker 3: Thy should not urge thy duty past thy might. I know,
- 1:58:06Speaker 3: young bloods, look for a time of rest.
- 1:58:09Speaker 4: I have slept, my lord, already it.
- 1:58:11Speaker 3: Was well done, and thou shalt sleep again. I will
- 1:58:17Speaker 3: not hold thee long. If I do live, I will
- 1:58:22Speaker 3: be good to THEE.
- 1:58:24Speaker 1: Music and a song.
- 1:58:26Speaker 3: This is a sleepy tune, O murderous slumber. Layest thou
- 1:58:34Speaker 3: thy lead en mace upon my boy that plays THEE music,
- 1:58:41Speaker 3: gentle knave, good night. I will not do THEE so
- 1:58:45Speaker 3: much wrong to wake THEE. If thou dost nod, thou
- 1:58:51Speaker 3: break'st thy instrument, I'll take it from thee, and good.
- 1:58:57Speaker 6: Boy, good night.

- 1:59:13Speaker 3: Ow ill this taper burns? Ha who comes here? I
- 1:59:20Speaker 3: think it is the weakness of my eyes that shapes
- 1:59:24Speaker 3: this monstrous apparition comes upon me. Art thou any thing
- 1:59:32Speaker 3: art thou some god, some angel, or some devil that
- 1:59:39Speaker 3: makes my blood cold and my hair to stare to
- 1:59:44Speaker 3: speak to me?
- 1:59:45Speaker 11: What thou art thy evil spirit?
- 1:59:50Speaker 3: Brutus, Why comest thou.
- 1:59:54Speaker 11: To tell THEE thou shalt see me at Philippie?
- 1:59:59Speaker 3: Well, then I shall see THEE again.
- 2:00:04Speaker 11: I aunt Philippi.
- 2:00:07Speaker 3: Why I will see THEE at Philippi?
- 2:00:12Speaker 1: Then axet ghost.
- 2:00:15Speaker 3: Now I have taken heart. Thou vanishest ill spirit. I
- 2:00:22Speaker 3: would hold more talk with thee boy Lucius Viri Cloudius
- 2:00:32Speaker 3: Sirs awake, Cloudius.
- 2:00:35Speaker 4: The strings, my Lord are foss He.
- 2:00:38Speaker 3: Thinks he is still at his instrument. Lucius, awake, my Lord.
- 2:00:45Speaker 3: Didst thou dream, Lucius, that thou so christ out?
- 2:00:50Speaker 6: My Lord?
- 2:00:51Speaker 4: I do not know that I did cry?
- 2:00:53Speaker 3: Yes, that thou didst. Didst thou see anything nothing my sleep? Again?
- 2:01:01Speaker 3: Lucius Sarah Claudius to borrow fellow, Thou awake, my.
- 2:01:08Speaker 7: Lord, my Lord?

- 2:01:21Speaker 13: No?
- 2:01:22Speaker 23: My Lord, I saw nothing.
- 2:01:23Speaker 3: No, I my lord, go and commend me to my
- 2:01:28Speaker 3: brother Cassius. Bid him set on his powers betimes before
- 2:01:35Speaker 3: and we will follow.
- 2:01:38Speaker 1: It shall be done, my lord accent. End of Act four,
- 2:01:43Speaker 1: Act five, Scene one. The plains of Philippi enter Octavius
- 2:01:51Speaker 1: Antony and their army.
- 2:01:53Speaker 29: Now Antony, our hopes are answered. You said the enemy
- 2:01:56Speaker 29: would not come down, but keep the hills in upper regions.
- 2:02:00Speaker 29: It proves not so. Their battles are at hand. They
- 2:02:05Speaker 29: mean to warn us at Philippi here answering before we
- 2:02:09Speaker 29: do demand of them.
- 2:02:10Speaker 12: Tut, I am in their bosoms, and I know wherefore
- 2:02:13Speaker 12: they do it. They could be content to visit other
- 2:02:16Speaker 12: places and come down with fearful bravery, thinking by this
- 2:02:20Speaker 12: face to fasten in our thoughts that they have courage.
- 2:02:24Speaker 12: But tis not so.
- 2:02:26Speaker 7: Enter a messenger, prepare you, generals. The enemy comes on
- 2:02:30Speaker 7: and gallanchow their bloody son of bethilas hung out, and
- 2:02:34Speaker 7: something to be done immediately.
- 2:02:36Speaker 12: Octavius, lead your battle softly on upon the left hand
- 2:02:40Speaker 12: of the even field.
- 2:02:41Speaker 20: Upon the right hand. I keep thou the left. Why
- 2:02:45Speaker 20: do you cross me in this exigen I do not
- 2:02:47Speaker 20: cross you, but I will do so.
- 2:02:50Speaker 1: March drum. Enter Brutus, Cassius and their army, Lucilius, Tintinius,
- 2:02:57Speaker 1: Messila and others.
- 2:02:59Speaker 3: They stand and would have parley.
- 2:03:02Speaker 13: Stun fast Antenius, we must out.
- 2:03:04Speaker 29: And talk, Mark Antony, Shall we give sign a battle?
- 2:03:09Speaker 12: No, Caesar, we will answer on their charge. Make fourth,
- 2:03:13Speaker 12: the generals would have some words.
- 2:03:15Speaker 29: Stir not until the signal, words before blows?
- 2:03:19Speaker 3: Is it so, countrymen, not.
- 2:03:21Speaker 29: That we love words better as you do.
- 2:03:24Speaker 3: Good words are better than bad strokes.
- 2:03:27Speaker 12: Octavious in your bad strokes, Brutus, you give good words.
- 2:03:31Speaker 12: Witness the whole you made in Caesar's heart, crying live
- 2:03:35Speaker 12: long hail.
- 2:03:36Speaker 13: Caesar, Antony. The posture of your blows are yet unknown,
- 2:03:40Speaker 13: but for your words they rub the hoblebees and leave
- 2:03:43Speaker 13: them honeyless, not stingless too.
- 2:03:45Speaker 3: Oh yes, and soundless too, for you have stolen their
- 2:03:50Speaker 3: buzzing antony, and very wisely threat before you sting.
- 2:03:55Speaker 12: Villains, you did not sew when your vile daggers hacked
- 2:03:59Speaker 12: one another in the sides of Caesar. You showed your
- 2:04:02Speaker 12: teeth like apes, and fonnd like hounds, and fouled like
- 2:04:05Speaker 12: bond men, kissing Caesar's feet, whilst damned Kaska like a
- 2:04:10Speaker 12: cur behind, struck Caesar on the neck.
- 2:04:13Speaker 13: Oh, you flatterers, flatterers, now, Brutus, thank yourself this tongue
- 2:04:19Speaker 13: had not offended. So today, if Cassius might have.
- 2:04:21Speaker 29: Ruled, come come the cause. If arguing made us sweat,
- 2:04:27Speaker 29: the proof of it will turn to redder drops. Look,
- 2:04:31Speaker 29: I draw a sword against conspirators. When think you that
- 2:04:35Speaker 29: the sword goes up again? Never till Caesar's three and
- 2:04:40Speaker 29: thirty wounds be well avenged, or till another Caesar have
- 2:04:44Speaker 29: added slaughter to the sword of traders.
- 2:04:46Speaker 3: Caesar, thou catst not die by trader's hands unless thou
- 2:04:52Speaker 3: break'st them with thee.
- 2:04:54Speaker 29: So I hope I was not born to die on
- 2:04:57Speaker 29: Brutus's sword.
- 2:04:59Speaker 3: Oh, if thou wert the noblest of thy strain, young man,
- 2:05:04Speaker 3: thou could'st not die more honorably.
- 2:05:07Speaker 13: A peevish schoolboy worthless of such honor, joined with a
- 2:05:11Speaker 13: masker and a reveler.
- 2:05:12Speaker 12: Old Cassius.
- 2:05:13Speaker 29: Still come Antony away, defiance, traitors, hurrow we in your teeth.
- 2:05:21Speaker 29: If you dare fight to day, come to the field.
- 2:05:24Speaker 29: If not, when you have stomachs.
- 2:05:26Speaker 1: Egsy and Octavius, Antony and their army.
- 2:05:30Speaker 13: Why now blow wind, swell, billow, and swim bark. The
- 2:05:35Speaker 13: storm is up and all is on the hazard O
- 2:05:38Speaker 13: Lucilius hark a word.
- 2:05:40Speaker 1: With you, standing forth, My lord Brutus and Lucilius converse
- 2:05:45Speaker 1: a part, Massala, standing forth, What says my general.
- 2:05:50Speaker 13: Massala, This is my birthday, as this very day was
- 2:05:55Speaker 13: Cassius born. Give me thy hand, Massala, be thou my witness.
- 2:05:59Speaker 13: They get my will as POMPEII was. Am I compelled
- 2:06:03Speaker 13: to set upon one battle? Are our liberties? You know
- 2:06:06Speaker 13: that I held Epicurus strong and his opinion. Now I
- 2:06:09Speaker 13: change my mind and partly credit things that do presage
- 2:06:14Speaker 13: coming from Sardis on our former ensign to mighty eagles fell,
- 2:06:18Speaker 13: and there they perched, gorging and feeding from our soldier's hands, who,
- 2:06:22Speaker 13: to Philippi here consorted us this morning, they are fled
- 2:06:26Speaker 13: away and gone, And in their steads do ravens, crows
- 2:06:29Speaker 13: and kites. For I owe our heads and downward look
- 2:06:32Speaker 13: on us as we were sickly pray. Their shadows seem
- 2:06:36Speaker 13: a canopy most fatal, under which our army lies, ready
- 2:06:39Speaker 13: to give up.
- 2:06:40Speaker 5: The ghosts believe not so, but.
- 2:06:43Speaker 13: I believe it partly for I am fresh of spirit
- 2:06:46Speaker 13: and resolve to meet all perils very constantly.
- 2:06:49Speaker 31: Even so, Lucilius now, most noble Brutus, the gods to
- 2:06:54Speaker 31: day stand friendly, that we may love us in peace,
- 2:06:58Speaker 31: lead on our days to age.
- 2:07:00Speaker 13: But since the affairs of men rest still in certain,
- 2:07:04Speaker 13: let's reason with the worst that may be full. If
- 2:07:07Speaker 13: we do lose this battle, then is this the very
- 2:07:10Speaker 13: last time we shall speak together? What are you then
- 2:07:13Speaker 13: determined to do?
- 2:07:15Speaker 3: Even by the rule of that philosophy by which I
- 2:07:17Speaker 3: did blame Cato for the death which he did give himself,
- 2:07:21Speaker 3: I know not how, but I do find it cowardly
- 2:07:25Speaker 3: and file for fear of what might fall, so to
- 2:07:30Speaker 3: prevent the time of life, arming myself with patience, to
- 2:07:35Speaker 3: stay the providence of some high powers that govern us below.
- 2:07:40Speaker 13: Then if we lose this battle, you are content to
- 2:07:42Speaker 13: be led in triumph through the streets of Rome.
- 2:07:44Speaker 3: No, Cassius, No think not thou, noble Roman, that ever
- 2:07:50Speaker 3: Brutus will go bound to Rome. He bears too great
- 2:07:55Speaker 3: a mind. But this same day must end that work
- 2:08:00Speaker 3: the IDEs of march begun, And whether we shall meet
- 2:08:04Speaker 3: again I know not. Therefore our everlasting farewell, take forever
- 2:08:13Speaker 3: and forever farewell, Cassius. If we do meet again, why
- 2:08:19Speaker 3: we shall smile? If not, why then this parting was
- 2:08:24Speaker 3: well made.
- 2:08:26Speaker 13: Forever and forever, farewell Brutus. If we do meet again,
- 2:08:30Speaker 13: we'll smile. Indeed, if not tis true this parting was
- 2:08:35Speaker 13: well made.
- 2:08:36Speaker 3: Why then lead on, oh, that a man might know
- 2:08:42Speaker 3: the end of this day's business. Ere it come, but
- 2:08:46Speaker 3: it sufficeth that the ay will end, and then the
- 2:08:52Speaker 3: end is known? Come ho away.
- 2:08:57Speaker 1: Acient Scene two. The same the field of battle, Alarum
- 2:09:04Speaker 1: and her Brutus and Messala.
- 2:09:07Speaker 3: Ride, Ride Massala, ride and give these bills unto the
- 2:09:12Speaker 3: legions on the other side.
- 2:09:14Speaker 1: Loud Alarum.
- 2:09:16Speaker 3: Let them set on at once, for I perceive but
- 2:09:20Speaker 3: gold demeanor in Octavius's wing and sudden push gives them
- 2:09:26Speaker 3: the overthrow. Right, ride Massalah, let them all come down.
- 2:09:32Speaker 1: Acient Scene three. Another part of the field. Alarums enter
- 2:09:39Speaker 1: Cassius and Tantanius.
- 2:09:42Speaker 13: Oh look, Tintanious, look the villains fly. Myself have to
- 2:09:46Speaker 13: mine own turned enemy. The sense in here of mine
- 2:09:49Speaker 13: was turning back. I slew the coward and did take
- 2:09:51Speaker 13: it from him o Cassius.
- 2:09:54Speaker 27: Brutus gave the word too early, who, having some advantage
- 2:09:57Speaker 27: in Octavius, took it to eagerly as old is felt
- 2:10:00Speaker 27: to spoil, whilst we by Antony are all enclosed.
- 2:10:06Speaker 25: Enter Penderus, fly further off, my lord, Fly further off
- 2:10:10Speaker 25: marc Antony is in your tints, my lord fly Therefore,
- 2:10:13Speaker 25: noble Cassius, fly far off.
- 2:10:16Speaker 13: This hill is far enough. Look, look, Tintineous, are those
- 2:10:19Speaker 13: my tents where I perceive the fire? They are, my lord, Tintineous.
- 2:10:24Speaker 13: If thou lovest me, mount thou my horse and hide
- 2:10:26Speaker 13: thy spurs in him till he have brought thee up
- 2:10:28Speaker 13: to yonder troops. And here again, that I may rest assured,
- 2:10:31Speaker 13: whether they troops are friend or enemy.
- 2:10:33Speaker 27: I will be here again even with a thought.
- 2:10:36Speaker 13: Accep gopendallus get higher on that hill. My sight was
- 2:10:40Speaker 13: ever thick. Regard Tintineus, and tell me what thou noticed
- 2:10:43Speaker 13: about the field.
- 2:10:44Speaker 1: Penderus ascends the hell.
- 2:10:46Speaker 13: This day, I breathe, first time has come round. And
- 2:10:49Speaker 13: where did I begin? There? Shall I end? My life
- 2:10:53Speaker 13: has run his compass Surah, What.
- 2:10:55Speaker 25: News above, oh, my lord, what news above? Tintinius is
- 2:11:02Speaker 25: enclosed round about with horsemen that make to him on
- 2:11:04Speaker 25: the spur. Yet he spurs on now they are almost
- 2:11:07Speaker 25: on him now Tentinius. Now some light, Oh he lights too,
- 2:11:11Speaker 25: he is taken. Shout ah and ark they shout for joy.
- 2:11:17Speaker 6: Come down.
- 2:11:17Speaker 13: Behold no more, oh coward, that I am to live
- 2:11:21Speaker 13: so long to see my best friend taken before my faith.
- 2:11:25Speaker 1: Penderus descends.
- 2:11:27Speaker 13: Come hither, Sarah in Parthia. Did I take THEE prisoner?
- 2:11:32Speaker 13: And then I swore THEE saving of thy life? That
- 2:11:35Speaker 13: whatsoever I did bid THEE, do thou shouldst attempt it?
- 2:11:39Speaker 13: Come now keep thy note. Now be a free man,
- 2:11:43Speaker 13: And with this good sword that ran through Caesar's bows,
- 2:11:47Speaker 13: search this bosom stand not to answer. Here, take thou
- 2:11:50Speaker 13: the hilts, and when my face is covered as tis now,
- 2:11:55Speaker 13: guide thou the sword.
- 2:11:57Speaker 1: Penderus stabs him.
- 2:12:00Speaker 13: Caesar, thou art revenged, even with the sword that give
- 2:12:06Speaker 13: THEE dies.
- 2:12:09Speaker 25: So I am free. Yet would not so have been
- 2:12:12Speaker 25: darst to have done my will, Oh Cassius. Far from
- 2:12:16Speaker 25: this country. Pindarus shall run, where never Roman shall take
- 2:12:19Speaker 25: note of him.
- 2:12:20Speaker 1: Exit, re enter Titanius with messalah.
- 2:12:23Speaker 5: It is but changed Titinus, for Octavius is overthrown by
- 2:12:27Speaker 5: noble brutus power, as Cassius legions are by Antony.
- 2:12:31Speaker 27: These tidings were well. Comfort Cassius, Where did you leave him?
- 2:12:35Speaker 27: All disconsolate? With Pinderus's bondoman on this hill?
- 2:12:39Speaker 5: Is not that he that lies upon the ground?
- 2:12:41Speaker 27: He lies not like the living?
- 2:12:45Speaker 5: Oh, my heart, is not that he?
- 2:12:49Speaker 27: No, this was he, miss Allah? But Cassius is no more.
- 2:12:56Speaker 27: O setting sun is in thy red rays. Thou dost
- 2:12:59Speaker 27: sink tonight? So in is red blood Cassius. Day is set,
- 2:13:05Speaker 27: the son of Rome is set. Hot day is gone,
- 2:13:11Speaker 27: Clouds stews, and dangers come. Our deeds are done. Mistrust
- 2:13:17Speaker 27: of my success? Hath done this deed?
- 2:13:19Speaker 5: Mistrust of good success? Hath done this deed? O hateful error?
- 2:13:23Speaker 5: Melancholy's child? Why dost thou show to the apt thoughts
- 2:13:27Speaker 5: of men the things that are not? O?
- 2:13:29Speaker 27: Error?
- 2:13:30Speaker 5: Soon conceived? Thou never comest unto a happy birth, but
- 2:13:33Speaker 5: kills the mother that engendered thee What penderis?
- 2:13:37Speaker 27: Why art thou penderest.
- 2:13:39Speaker 5: Seek him to Tineus? Whilst I go to meet the
- 2:13:41Speaker 5: noble Brutus, thrusting this report into his ears, I may say,
- 2:13:45Speaker 5: thrusting it for piercing steel and darts envenomed shall be
- 2:13:49Speaker 5: as welcome to the ears of Brutus as tidings.
- 2:13:51Speaker 27: Of this sight, Hi you miscellah, and I will sick
- 2:13:54Speaker 27: for Penderus.
- 2:13:55Speaker 1: The while exit Messlah.
- 2:13:57Speaker 27: Why dost thou send me forth bread, Cassie. Did I
- 2:14:02Speaker 27: not meet thy friends? And did not they put on
- 2:14:05Speaker 27: my brows this wreath of victory and bid me give thee?
- 2:14:09Speaker 27: Didst thou not hear their shouts? Alas that is misconstrued everything,
- 2:14:19Speaker 27: But hold thee, take the scarland on thy brow. Thy Brutus,
- 2:14:23Speaker 27: bid me giveth thee, and I will do his bidding. Brutus,

- 2:19:08Speaker 1: Clitus whispers, what I my lord?
- 2:19:16Speaker 2: No, not for all the.
- 2:19:17Speaker 3: World peace, Then no words.
- 2:19:20Speaker 2: I'll rather kill myself hart thee.
- 2:19:24Speaker 3: Dardanius whispers, shall I do such a deed?
- 2:19:30Speaker 2: Oh Dardanius, Oh Clitus? What ill request did Brutus make
- 2:19:35Speaker 2: to thee.
- 2:19:36Speaker 9: To kill him?
- 2:19:37Speaker 11: Clitus?
- 2:19:38Speaker 19: Look, he meditates.
- 2:19:40Speaker 2: Now is that noble vessel full of grief that it
- 2:19:43Speaker 2: runs over even at his eyes?
- 2:19:45Speaker 3: Come hither, good Volumnius, list a word?
- 2:19:50Speaker 23: What says my lord?
- 2:19:51Speaker 3: Why this Volumnius? The ghost of Caesar hath appeared to
- 2:19:57Speaker 3: me two several times by night at Sardis once and
- 2:20:04Speaker 3: this last night here in Philippi fields. I know my
- 2:20:10Speaker 3: hour is come.
- 2:20:11Speaker 23: Not so, my lord, nay, I am.
- 2:20:15Speaker 3: Sure it is Volumnius, thou seest the world, Volumnius, how
- 2:20:20Speaker 3: it goes, our enemies have beat us to the pit,
- 2:20:25Speaker 3: lo Alarums, it is more worthy to leap in ourselves
- 2:20:31Speaker 3: than tarry till they push us. Good, Volumnius, thou know'st
- 2:20:37Speaker 3: that we two went to school together, even for that
- 2:20:42Speaker 3: our love of old. I prithee hold thou my sword
- 2:20:47Speaker 3: hilts whilst I run on it.
- 2:20:50Speaker 23: That's not an office for friend, my lord.
- 2:20:53Speaker 2: Alarum, still, fly, fly, my lord, there is no tarrying here.
- 2:20:58Speaker 3: Farewell to you, and you and you, volumnious Estrato, thou
- 2:21:05Speaker 3: hast been all this while asleep. Farewell to thee too,
- 2:21:09Speaker 3: strato countryman. My heart doth joy that, yet in all
- 2:21:16Speaker 3: my life I found no man, but he was true
- 2:21:19Speaker 3: to me. I shall have glory by this losing day,
- 2:21:25Speaker 3: more than Octavius and marc Antony, by this vile conquest,
- 2:21:30Speaker 3: shall attain unto so very well at once. For Brutus's
- 2:21:38Speaker 3: tongue hath almost ended his life's history. Night hangs upon
- 2:21:45Speaker 3: mine eyes. My bones would rest that have but labor'd
- 2:21:51Speaker 3: to attain this hour.
- 2:21:55Speaker 1: Alarum, cry within, fly fly, fly.
- 2:22:00Speaker 2: Fly my lord, fly.
- 2:22:02Speaker 3: Hence I will.
- 2:22:04Speaker 1: Follow exy and Clytis, Dardanius and Volumnius.
- 2:22:09Speaker 3: I prithee straighto, stay thou by thy lord. Thou art
- 2:22:14Speaker 3: a fellow of a good respect. Thy life hath had
- 2:22:19Speaker 3: some smatch of honor in it. Hold then my sword
- 2:22:27Speaker 3: and turn away thy face while I do run upon it.
- 2:22:33Speaker 3: Wilt thou straighto.
- 2:22:35Speaker 8: Give me your hand first, fare you well, my lord?
- 2:22:39Speaker 3: Farewell good Straighto runs on his sword, sees her now
- 2:22:49Speaker 3: be still, I killed not thee with half so good.
- 2:22:54Speaker 1: A will dies Alarum, retreat enter Oavius Antony, Messala, Lucilius
- 2:23:02Speaker 1: and the army.
- 2:23:04Speaker 20: What man is that?
- 2:23:05Speaker 5: My master's man? Strato? Where is thy master?
- 2:23:09Speaker 8: Free from the bondage you are in Massala? The conquerors
- 2:23:12Speaker 8: can but make a fire of him. For Brutus only
- 2:23:15Speaker 8: overcame himself, and no man else have honor by his death.
- 2:23:19Speaker 30: So Brutus should be found. I thank thee Brutus, that
- 2:23:24Speaker 30: thou hast proved Lucilius, saying true.
- 2:23:27Speaker 29: All that served Brutus. I will entertain them. Fellow, Wilt
- 2:23:33Speaker 29: thou bestow thy time with me?
- 2:23:35Speaker 8: Ay, if Massali will prefer me to you, do so good?
- 2:23:38Speaker 5: Massalah, how died my master Strato.
- 2:23:41Speaker 8: I held the sword, and he did run on it.
- 2:23:44Speaker 5: Octavius, then take him to follow thee that did the
- 2:23:48Speaker 5: latest service to my master.
- 2:23:50Speaker 12: This was the noblest Roman of them all, all the conspirators,
- 2:23:54Speaker 12: save only he did that they did in envy of
- 2:23:57Speaker 12: Great Caesar. He only, in a general honest thought and
- 2:24:01Speaker 12: common good to all, made one of them. His life
- 2:24:05Speaker 12: was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him, that
- 2:24:08Speaker 12: nature might stand up and say to all the world,
- 2:24:11Speaker 12: this was a.
- 2:24:12Speaker 29: Man according to his virtue. Let us use him with
- 2:24:15Speaker 29: all respect and rites of burial. Within my tent, his
- 2:24:19Speaker 29: bones to night shall lie most like a soldier ordered honorably.
- 2:24:24Speaker 29: So call the field to rest, and lets a way
- 2:24:27Speaker 29: to part the glories of this happy day
- 2:24:30Speaker 1: Accient end of Act five.
