Remebering GASELA... Friends, countrymen, Romans lend me your ears, Ive come to bury Ceasar not to praise him, the evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft enterred with their bones, so let it be with Ceasar. The noble Brutus has told you Ceasar was ambitious, if it were so, it was a grievious fault and grieviously so hath Ceasar answered it. Here under leave of Brutus and the rest, for Brutus is an honourable man and so are they all, all honourable men, come I to speak in Ceasars funeral. He was my friend and just to me, yet Brutus says he was ambitious and Brutus is an honourable man. He hath bought many captives home, whose ransoms did the general coffers fill, did this in Ceasar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Ceasar hath wept, ambition should be made of sterner stuff. Yet Brutus says he was ambitious and Brutus is an honourable man.You all did see on the Lupercal, I thrice presented him a Kingly crown, which he did thrice refuse, was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitous and sure he is an honourable man. I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, but here I come to speak what I do know. You all did love him once, not without cause, what cause holds you now to mourn for him? O judgement thou have fled to brutish beasts and men have lost their reason. My heart is there in the coffin with Ceasar and I must pause until it comes back to me.
