"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I have come to bury Caesar, non to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The skilful is oft interrèd with their basic.
And then allow information technology be with Caesar. The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was aggressive:
If information technology were so, it was a grievous mistake,
And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.
Here, nether exit of Brutus and the residue-
For Brutus is an honorable man;
So are they all, all honorable men-
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.
He was my friend, true-blue and but to me;
But Brutus says he was aggressive;
And Brutus is an honorable human being.
He hath brought many captives abode to Rome
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill;
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept;
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was aggressive;
And Brutus is an honorable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice reject. Was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
And certain he is an honorable man.
...
You all do know this pall. I retrieve
The kickoff time ever Caesar put it on;
'Twas on a summertime's evening, in his tent,
That twenty-four hour period he overcame the Nervii:
Wait, in this place ran Cassius' dagger through:
See what a rent the envious Casca made;
Through this the well-beloved Brutus stabb'd;
And as he pluck'd his cursed steel abroad,
Mark how the blood of Caesar follow'd information technology,
As rushing out of doors, to be resolved
If Brutus and then unkindly knock'd, or no;
For Brutus, as you know, was Caesar'south angel:
Judge, O yous gods, how dearly Caesar loved him!
This was the most unkindest cut of all;
For when the noble Caesar saw him stab,
Ingratitude, more than strong than traitors' arms,
Quite crush'd him: and so burst his mighty eye;
And, in his curtain muffling up his face,
Even at the base of Pompey's statue,
Which all the while ran blood, great Caesar vicious."

― William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar
